V/A - (Artificial Intelligence) 30th Anniversary Reissue - December 9, 2022

Warp just posted this, potentially a reissue? Maybe it’s a whole new compilation? Discuss!

Looking at the design, I'd argue it's going to be a reissue. It's that first compilation green and type font.

Amazing find man, thanks! Good interview altogether

AI 30 box set with the full series remastered + repressed on 180gm black vinyl w/ Blu-Ray of (Motion) ML-upscaled to 4K.

Album covers as a set of high-quality 12x12" prints would be nice, too.

Thank you.

and can we throw in surfing on sine waves for good measure?

It's prob not gonna be anything new but it's good news nonetheless.

I requested the full series, all eight albums sandwiched between the bookend compilations - 9 2xLP + 3xLP + Blu-Ray. I would easily drop 200 € for a full archival set.

But. Incunabula and Electro-Soma have been reissued semi-recently, so I'm not expecting much.

on Twitter as well, maybe they signed Kanye? lol

Good news, 1st AI comp has been on my discogs wantlist forever and never drops under £200.

sold my original vinyl copy ages ago to help pay rent, so this is good news

If they reprint on ancient technology (vinyl), I will not care. I rather notice I should sell my old records

AI 3 would be nice marketing, eg. to drag the old farts like me back in. TBH I don't know much about todays WARP artists.

To be honest the label is still quite similar to when they put out things like Satanstornade, Electric Deaf and Gantz Graf:

Yup, simply a repress! Still exciting though, AI 1 is a masterpiece in my eyes

This is just a personal nitpick, but what's with all of the Bleep/Warp shirts having small text on the front and the art on the back? Seems backwards to me. I could see it if there was a larger logo or something on the front, but it just seems so weird to have 90% of what's on the shirt on the back. 

At any rate, happy to have the repress. Was really hoping for SOSW as well, but can't say I'm surprised it got skipped again.

i would have thrown down on a poster version of that cover but not really feeling the need for it on a t-shirt for some reason. anyway... super excited about the repress. will wait for it to show up in teh shoppes

this is pretty wicked

Aye, definitely with you for these ones - Would love a T-Shirt/Jumper with that piccy on the front

What a senseless waste of an amazing opportunity to build on the significance and longevity of the series, and celebrate the artists, music and the culture they created. Warp dropped the ball on this, the swag is unremarkable AF.

happy for a repress. not sure why everybody had these crazy expectations. 

Original cd works fine. Not fussed about vinyl unless absolutely essential (that's you Aphex or BOC). T-shirt? definitely not bothered. 

Pass.

I wish there was a new CD repress.

The idea of doing a third instalment would make a lot of sense. Perhaps too much it seems

i got too hyped over the idea of a 3rd AI LP. just imagine... 

no point in me getting the repress unless the sound quality is fantastic
