I asked Rich about his influences for this album, and you can also read
it in magazines. SAWII was mostly inspired by a lot of minimalist and
avant-classical works which he had listened to the last year or so, these
included Cage, Stockhausen, Reich, Riley, and Eno. To quote Rich himself,
"Selected Ambient Works II is full of the simplest pieces I could make"
As for the trance quote, I cannot find the "3 note" quote. WHat he has
said is "Trance came out at this point where there was nothing happening,
and then trance just made it even more boring. There's good trance, but
only a very small percentage. It's weird, cos its hard to say why one
track is good where the others are shit. You could make a great record or
a shit record using the same riffs, it's all in the production and the
mixing."
