On the other hand they have been at the forefront of truly cutting-edge music and pioneering methods of digital sampling, which includes their essential debut album Who’s Afraid of the Art of Noise? On the one hand, they had Grammy Award-winning production for Yes’ 90125 (including the earworm-slash-guilty pleasure Owner of a Lonely Heart) and an official cover of Prince’s Kiss featuring Tom Jones, topping charts around the world. The catalogue of English avant-garde synthpop group The Art Of Noise is quite ambiguous. it sounds superb.A collaboration with The Find Mag, discovering the story behind an iconic sample. but it's not unpleasant to listen to on a decent hi-fi. The tracks from "Who's Afraid." sound slightly more 'in-your-face' than my old vinyl copy, which possibly indicates some enhancing of the treble and bass extremes. an intriguing story that could have been told (and has been, elsewhere).įinally, sound quality - the mastering is pretty good, and no 'brickwalling' has taken place. No producers are credited and there is no additional information about the band, how they evolved, left ZTT, had further hits with China Records then came back to ZTT again. The potential confusion isn't helped by the absolutely minimal packaging - there is no booklet, just two CDs in a digipack, with writers and the copyright year for each track printed on the inside, under the CD. "Love" on Disc 1 is the 12-inch version 'beaten' mix of "Moments In Love" (which is shorter than the album version on Disc 2), and "Love Beat" is the slowed-down recording of Moments in Love (with the band discussing the track as a spoken intro). Some of the track titles are slightly misleading as well - but perhaps that was always the case with AON - so "Beatbox" is from the 12-inch single "Moments in Love", with the candidly recorded vocal intro "Diversions 1" is "Beatbox (Diversion One) from their album Who's Afraid Of The Art of Noise. a slightly curious mixture of crucial tracks from their ZTT peak around 1984 - 5 and some others from their return to the label in 1999, most notably featuring Rakim on "Metaforce". There's no quibble with the musical merit of these pieces, just. Of course, Art of Noise were pioneers whose adventures in sampling laid the foundations for much of what has followed over the past 20 - 30 years. The review below is for the double CD "best of" released in 2018. The "MP3 download" link above also takes you to a different product - the single of "Moments In Love".
