Notes
Subtitle: Electronic Listening music from Warp
Artificial Intelligence:
electronic music for the mind created by trans-global electronic innovators who prove music is the one true international language.
Real people whose unity lies in a common sound + spirit and whose 'listening music' cannot be described as either soulless or machine driven. The atmosphere and emotion both come from the musicians, their machines are merely the means to a human end.
The future:
Artificial Intelligence is the first in a series of 'listening albums' from Warp.

Reviews & Discussion
What can I say? You can easily point to this as the birth of IDM, can't you? Early tracks from Autechre, Speedy J, Aphex Twin under an alias, and a track from Alex Patterson of the Orb. Not all of this stands the test of time, but the Autechre tracks sound amazingly ahead of their time, and are still nearly unmatched today by the second and third generation of IDM imitators. This is a piece of history.
