Artificial Intelligence (series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artificial Intelligence is a series of albums by Warp Records released in the early 1990s 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."[1] The series is remarkable for its inclusion of groups and individuals who would later become leaders in modern electronic music, techno, and ambient, such as Dr. Alex Paterson, Richard D. James, and Autechre. The series is also considered a major contribution to the genre of what has come to be called intelligent dance music (IDM).
