'The Philosophy of Sound and Machine' Comp

Never knew this existed. Thanks to the B12 thread I found this in my search for more B12. It's really fucking good. A couple afx tracks I never heard either and Balil who were Plaid apparently. Very rare of course and people are selling them for $120CAD on discogs, so I pursued it through slsk.

Legendary compilation. Better than both Artificial Intelligence Comps on Warp combined, imo.

Applied Rhythmic Technology (ART) was an awesome label.

I got a somewhat scratched but playable copy of some guy who didn't know what he had for $25 back in the day. He quickly found out what it was but agreed at the price I offered anyway!

Found a used one once in Knoxville, Tennessee for $7.99. Promptly resold it on eBay for almost $200.

Never was a big fan of the artwork, the the print on the CD was brilliant!

i love those escherian buildings from detroit

Good comp. I really like "Small Energies" by Balil, who I always thought was a one man project, until you said

Whoops sorry, you're way right. I even edited The Black Dog discog a long time ago to reflect what you just said, and I still screwed the pooch here.

Atypic is Andy.

and on the Bytes album I'm sure I've read that Andy did the Plaid tracks alone.

currently wearing the t-shirt w/ the 303 on it!

just got this for $80 on..... amazon?

I used my textbook buyback money to get it... WORTH IT!

I found at Phenomyna - Unexplained CD for $7.99 a few weeks ago. Found it was going for around $70ish and it's pretty Detroitalicious.

this is even better than i imagined!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear it. I just put it on myself, trans-atlantic IDM appreciation right there.

Fumi, where the hell are you?

Was it at McKay?

I want this. But It'll be one of those purchases I make after 7 pints and half a dozen nips of single malt, but when I have a drink like that, going online and buying records is never on the agenda or at the forefront of my mind

Bought it, Jumbo Records Leeds 1992, get in, cult classic, best seller!

love this comp; got mine a couple years ago on ebay for around $60
