Released in 1994, and following a slew of disturbingly warped and frenetic experimental techno releases, ‘Selected Ambient Works Volume II‘ was not the record that everyone expected. In this episode of Repercussions, Stuart Buchanan is joined by Peter Hollo from FBi’s Utility Fog to listen back to classic cuts from the record, and to attempt to unravel why the work was loved and loathed in equal measure, and why it remains such a seminal piece of electronic music history.
