It\u2019s the Appetite for Destruction<\/em> of graying techno fans. Dig in their closet, past the strata of tech house, minimal and ambient layers and you\u2019ll inevitably find a copy of this green-bordered album with a golden man on the front.<\/p>\n

The rare release that\u2019s been as important to a genre as it was to the label that released it, Artificial Intelligence<\/em> was released 30 years ago and Warp is celebrating with a 30th anniversary reissue and a trippy website<\/a> that takes you into the post-coital golden man\u2019s proto-VR living room. <\/p>\n

The 10 track EP of \u201celectronic listening music\u201d features two cuts from Autechre and Speedy J (including \u201cDe-Orbit\u201d), plus Richie Hawtin (as \u201cUP!\u201d), Aphex Twin (as \u201cThe Dice Man\u201d), The Orb\u2019s Dr. Alex Paterson, Musicology (Michael Golding and Steve Rutter) and Ken Downie (aka I.A.O.).<\/p>\n

In honor of the anniversary, we asked AI to illustrate AI<\/em> by prompting Stable Diffusion to compose \u201ca painting of a robot man listening to music in his living room\u201d and we got this. <\/p>\n

Warp\u2019s is probably better.<\/p>\n

Warp\u2019s reissue features a vinyl release, WAVs, MP3s and a handful of merch<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be long before an artist can make an album, film, CD1 and CDO in his or her own bedroom for a few thousand pounds, advertise the \u201cproduct\u201d to hundreds of thousands of people directly via the computer networks and sell directly to them. This will completely cut out the need for the usual trek around the major entertainment companies looking for finance, and could lead to things getting really interesting.\u201d \u2013 Warp co-founder Steve Beckett, 1992<\/em><\/p>\n
