GARYTRONIC, Jan 24, 2009

The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine is a compilation cd released in 1992 on the record label Applied Rhythmic Technology in cooperation with Rephlex.(Compiled By - Grant Wilson Claridge & Kirk Degiorgio).
The compilation was made up of six key artists under various aliases:-
Q-Chastic / Soit-P.P / Blue Calx aka Richard James.
Balil / Twelve Days Of Night aka Black Dog.
Cmetric / Red Cell aka B12.
Future/Past / Esoterik aka Kirk Degiogio.
Neuro Politique aka Matt Cogger.
The Kosmik Kommando aka Mike Dred.
The result was the first ALL British "Techno" compilation which still stands out as some of the best material released by many of the contributing artists.Many of the artists at the time were part of the underground scene and now showns how important and innovative these artists were & still are.
Many of the tracks featured on this excellent compilation have been released at latter stages via other releases apart from the two Aphex Twin tracks "CAT 002" & "n.IASP",which still remain exclusive to this compilation.
The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine still remains as an historic focal point for quality soulful electronic music for the dancefloor and mind.This compilation is very rare and fetches very high prices when it`s offered for sale,a repress and remaster is needed to give it the full vinyl & CD release it has always deserved.
