Artificial Intelligence
Profile: |
Artificial Intelligence is a series of albums by Warp Records released from 1992–1994 to exhibit the capabilities and sounds of electronic music. Warp described the new (post-rave electronic) music as "electronic listening music" to clarify that it was meant more for the mind than the body. The sleevenote on the 1992 compilation said "Are you sitting comfortably? Artificial Intelligence is for long journeys, quiet nights and club drowsy dawns. Listen with an open mind." |

In the Wax Trax/TVT marketing Richard H. Kirk 'Virtual State' and Kenny Larkin 'Azimuth' were part of the Artificial Intelligence series. I wonder if that was originally Warp's release plan but then they decided to just release those albums as their own thing? Either way, I consider the two albums part of the series, they're just as good as the others and aesthetically are a perfect match.

Trying to get the Wax Trax!/TVT pressings on CD as we speak. Got ‘Incunabula’ so far.
Amazing series of albums!
Unforgettable and something I need in my life, to me! -
Roll yourself a fat one and enjoy the splendor of some of finest exponents of chilled and minimalist electronica.

Is there any chance of the Artificial Intelligence series being reissued one day, sooner than later?
Clearly with the success of the Boards of Canada reissue campaign a couple of years ago, people are interested in grabbing classic IDM records. What better place to start than here?!
I would think that Warp could make decent money by creating a reissue sublabel that revisits all their classic and influential albums. They were at the forefront of such a massive shift in electronic music...these documents are so important, please don’t let them be so obscure and rare that new generations only listen to them on Spotify or YouTube.
