Notes

1st. Repress - white CD with black text.

The third in Warp's Artificial Intelligence series of albums.

Various tracks are intercut with "Phils", credited to "Echo Mike", of approx 30 seconds.

The track listing, as printed on the CD, gives the following:
#4: Phil(1); Focus Mel; Phil(2)
#5: Olivine; Phil(3)
#6: Clan
#7: Phil(4); Yamemm
#8: Phil(5); Fight The Hits; Phil(6)
#9: Merck
#10: Phil(7); Jauqq
Note, that the actual numbering runs separately for an 'A'- and 'B' side (probably after the cassette version?) and assigns Phils and regular tracks an individual number each.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by drexcia2 Oct 15, 2009
One of the definitive albums/Compilations the electronic genre has produced along with "Autechres incunabula" these were the best albums in the artificial intelligence series by far the only track missing on bytes is the Bali track "norte route" which came out on planet e but that tune aside its still revolutionary just listen to the first song object orient which gets my vote as there finest production its common knowledge that black dog consider bytes to be there favourite work even better than the book of dogma which collates there early eps.Whats also notable is how fresh it still sounds today a true gem.Enjoy!
