   Ranked No. 9 in Ambient

   One chord sequence, endlessly cycling, warm as a heat haze. The most covered, sampled and imitated piece of ambient music of the last thirty years, and still untouchable.

   Selected Ambient Works Volume II is where the label stops being a dance label without announcing it. Four minutes with no drums at all, released by the people who had just sold a lot of records made entirely of drums.
