What might at first reasonably appear to be a compilation of underground acts is in fact the debut album by groundbreaking UK electronic trio The Black Dog, with tracks listed by members of the group using their many pseudonyms, including the Plaid moniker two of them would leave to adopt fulltime. Bytes is the third in the remarkable Warp Records Artificial Intelligence series, which put a flag in the ground for a whole new scene in the early to mid 90s, paving the way for the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Plastikman to become such fookin' legends. - Flying Out
The third album in the Artificial Intelligence series, Bytes was originally released in 1993 and this reissue marks the 30th anniversary.

For this record, Handley, Turner and Downie appear under various guises: Atypic, Balil, I.A.O, Close Up Over, Xeper, Discordian Popes and Plaid.
