Why it's here

The armchair, the manifesto, 'electronic listening music'; the anthology that invented the category a third of this list lives in — the one flagged exception to the no-anthologies rule

Warp's Artificial Intelligence presents electronic music for the armchair as much as the dancefloor. The sleeve, sequencing and phrase 'electronic listening music' make the intention explicit, while the artists themselves pull in different directions rather than collapsing into one label sound.
