Artificial Intelligence is a series of albums by Warp Records released in the early 1990s. The series showcased electronic music as something to listen to rather than dance to. The series helped define the sub-genre now known as Intelligent Dance Music or IDM. The releases were:
1) Artificial Intelligence (various artists)
2) Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves
3) Black Dog Productions - Bytes
4) B12 - Electro-Soma
5) FUSE - Dimension Intrusion
6) Speedy J - Ginger
7) Autechre - Incunabula
8) Artificial Intelligence II (various artists).
I have also included two more Warp releases (at numbers 9 & 10 on the list) which whilst not officially part of the series were released prior to the Artificial Intelligence Volume II compilation & helped further define what IDM is.
