Volume II differs significantly from the first volume in the series, in that it consists of lengthy, textured ambient compositions with minimal percussion and occasional vocal samples, in a vein similar to Brian Eno's ambient works. James described the album as being "like standing in a power station on acid" and went on to note that the sounds on record were inspired by lucid dreams, and that upon awaking, he would attempt to re-create the sounds and record them. He claimed to have natural synaesthesia, which contributed to this album.
The album proper consists of 25 songs, all of which are untitled except for "Blue Calx". The liner notes present a series of images to represent the title of each song,[citation needed] including a blue emblem for "Blue Calx". Colour-coded pie charts are also included to show which songs belonged to which side of vinyl, as well as approximations of the duration of each song per side (for example, the colour of the first side is mustard). Officially, each song is named after its respective running order number, but fan impetus led to each song being given a name based on the image representing it (such as "[rhubarb]" for track 3). The US edition changed several of the images, either by unblurring or replacing them; in the case of track 19, a blank square was left instead. Due to this, several fan names were also changed to match the new set of pictures.[citation needed]
Due to the limits of the compact disc format, track 19 was removed from all CD pressings. This omission has since become standard, even for online retailers. The song was later included on the Astralwerks compilation Excursions in Ambience: The Third Dimension, titled as "#19". The original US version also removed track 4 from the first disc. The vinyl edition came in two editions: a standard black vinyl pressing with full-colour artwork and a limited edition brown vinyl pressing with monochromatic photography.
All songs written and composed by Richard D. James.

Track 2 was later released on the compilation album 26 Mixes for Cash, titled "SAW2 CD1 TRK2 (Original Mix)". The song was originally recorded for Richard's Peel Session in 1995.
Track 7 was jointly remixed with LFO's song Simon from Sidney by Pram for the compilation Warp 10+3 Remixes. Four Tet also remixed the album's opening track (a.k.a. "Cliffs") for this collection.
Cover versions of "Blue Calx" and track 1, played on acoustic instruments by the Western classical new-music ensemble Alarm Will Sound, appeared on their album Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound performs Aphex Twin in 2005.
