Various Artists - Artificial Intelligence: Electronic Listening Music from Warp (1992) (@256)
Let's start with this blog's tribute to Warp records, which I had promised sometime ago. It's been 20 years since Warp was established, so some uploads of some of their releases is on the way. Warp has a major share on our consideration of electronic music not only as a dancefloor device but also for living room listening. This compilation is indeed building this perspective. As Warp's co-founder Steve Beckett notes: "You could sit down and listen to it like you would a Kraftwerk or Pink Floyd album. That's why we put those sleeves on the cover of Artificial Intelligence - to get it into people's minds that you weren't supposed to dance to it!" So first of all have a look on the records that are depicted on the front cover of this compilation, and then sit back on your armchair and enjoy, (just like the cover's android) this spectacular release.
