Selected Ambient Works Volume II (abbreviated as SAW II) is the second studio album by the British electronic music artist and producer Richard D. James under the alias Aphex Twin. It was released on 7 March 1994 through Warp Records. Following James's ambient techno debut Selected Ambient Works 85–92, Volume II features purely ambient music. James was inspired by lucid dreaming and likened the album to "standing in a power station on acid." Most of the tracks on Selected Ambient Works Volume II were untitled and represented with abstract photographs and pie charts. Fan-named, unofficial titles are still widely used today.
