Ack ack No NO!!
This is probably the most misunderstood thing about Warp. All
Artificial Intelligence refered to was the computer/electronic nature
of the music. It had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the alleged
"intelligence" of the music.
Alas and alack AI became synonymous with the so-called intelligent
techno movement.
It is simulataneously annoying and flattering that people seem to talk
solely about Warp/Rephlex.
