V/A - Vol. 1 (Artificial Intelligence)

I think it's weird that this label calls itself Artificial Intelligence, then doesn't acknowledge the Warp compilations and series at all, yet it seems that they think of it as a tribute - but the SoundCloud blurb has Artificial Intelligence™ at the end, making it even more weird.

Nevertheless, some interesting tracks in there, @mause represent.

All this "braindance". I can't get through 10 seconds of a track these days. It's just all so.. nothingy

This new online "braindance" "scene" reminds of the 90s "nu school breaks" thing. Or Big Beat, to some extent. Just lots of pointless Lo Com Denom music. Just really watered down to the point that it's almost entirely water.

I've been saying for years that it kinda reminds me of today's '4real' punk scenes, like the camden punk bands. About 100 bands all making 5 albums a year of identikit tracks. Constrained by the narrow parameters within which you will only be taken seriously by the 'scene'.

Creatively, it is salted earth.

Agreed the (label) name is lame, however it sounds like a nice compilation.

Especially like the Curios track, his album from last year was also great.

The music needs some kind of intense component. Else it’s just noodling 

I've listened to a few of the tracks and they seem pretty quality. Like if the Black Dog had put this stuff out 30 years ago everyone would have been saying it was the shit.

I understand people have different tastes but I'm a bit confused by people on watmm fetching the pitchforks and flaming torches because someone on soundcloud made some "braindance"

to everyone else: don't be put off, some of this comp sounds pretty good
