A  excellent copy of Warp's second compilation in the 'Listening Music series'.

This second outing took up the baton from the first and boy did it run with it.

More artists had signed to Warp by this time and this is reflected in the

expanded size of the album over its predecessor.

While the first Artificial Intelligence album broke new ground

(Please See my listing of this for details)

this second coming is to my mind the better listen of the two.

Exclusive tracks not to be found anywhere else from many of the

trailblazers in the Electronic IDM scene. Really...what's not to like?

The condition of the playing surfaces of the album is excellent, VG+. All four sides are

beautifully glossy, dust and fingerprint free.

The condition of the Limited edition 12" is VG+/near mint. 

Side One Has a few of the usual extremely fine, superficial scuffs and scrapes from getting the record in and

out of it's sleeve, nothing over and above this to mention.

Side Two Again several of the usual extremely fine, superficial scuffs and scrapes one more evident in

the run-in of the disk and a couple of superficial hairlines.

Side Three As side two, several of the usual extremely fine, superficial, scuffs and scrapes and a couple of

superficial hairlines.

Side four once again, several of the usual extremely fine, superficial, scuffs and scrapes and a couple of

superficial hairlines. Two at the start of 'Spangle' and one running through the radius of the disc.

Limited edition 12"

Here Nothing to report but beautifully glossy vinyl.

Over one very very faint superficial hairline.

I have play tested all and nothing mentioned above affects the play or sound quality in the slightest. 

I am being very picky here and have mentioned everything I can see in hard critical daylight. You will have to

look very closely and at specific angles to see what is mentioned above,

Outer sleeve is in very good condition for it's age. The corners show a little wear and there is also some wear

on the spine. All of this can be seen in the listing images.

Unless otherwise stated every record was purchased by myself from new and only ever played

by myself on my own deck and with as expensive a cartridge as I could afford at the time.

When it comes to attributing a grading to each of my records I will confess I am not an expert.

And while both the Goldmine standard and The Record Collectors systems give us a number of agreed fundamentals

to help determine a grading for vinyl and its associated media, attributing a true and accurate grading to something as

individual as a pre-owned piece of Vinyl is unavoidably subjective.

One person's 'slight scuff' may be another's deal breaker.

With this in mind I will endeavour to describe as accurately as possible, in the descriptions of each listing,

not only what I feel to be a fair grading, but also an overall description of the record in question, along with details

of any and all marks, defects and anomalies I can see.

I am a firm believer in the maxim of - if you can feel it you can hear it.

So if there is anything that looks or feels like it may possibly affect a record's playing quality or sound clarity,

and therefore the pleasure derived from listening to it or its true value to an collector, I will give it one final spin

and make my findings known in the product description.

Over and above this I am happy to take returns.

I personally wouldn't bid on a pre-owned record without the option to return it if I felt that the seller hadn't been

totally truthful and transparent in their description of it, or that on receipt it didn't live up to my expectations. 

And I do not expect you to do so either. 

So please, feel free to bid with confidence.

I am a professional photographer by trade, and have gone to great lengths to light and photograph covers, inner sleeves

and the vinyl's themselves in such a way as to show, as accurately as possible, the actual condition of all.

Rest assured that what you see is exactly what will be despatched to you if you are the successful winner of each listing.

Before photographing each record went through a three stage cleaning process:

1 - Removal of any surface dust with a light brushing over with a carbon fibre and velvet disc cleaning pad

2 - Deep cleaning with large (Big Fudge) velvet pad and cleaning solution

3 - A final brushing with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre record brush.

And finally, because Mr or Mrs  Poasty may not handle your record with the same care and reverence that you or I would,

I will dispatch in a specialised corrugated cardboard record mailing outer, and if I feel even more protection is required

I will also include two extra sheets of 3mm corrugated cardboard for added safety and protection.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for showing an interest

in giving a new home to one of my records.

I have other listings live right now and will be adding new ones on a regular basis,

so please do take a peak and stay tuned for more.
