art of noise

Art of noise? They're good! Anyone else?

I think I might want to hear Close to the edit at some point, just as a novelty, but I don't know enough about them overall.

[Q]

Can someone offer some detail?

[Dances w/PURPLE]

Any of these names ring a bell?????


in May 1983 Malcolm McLaren released his LP 'DUCK ROCK' which was produced by >>Trevor Horn, engineered by Gary Langan, keyboards played by J.J. Jeczalik, string arrangements by Anne Dudley. Thanks to Ivo Westerlaken for telling me about this. Someone also reminded me that three fifths of the Art of Noise personell worked on the >>Buggles' 1981 LP Adventures of Modern Recording (with Trevor Horn and also Dudley on additional keyboards on 'Beatnik' and all engineered by Langan) and also in 1983-84 four fifths collaborated with Yes on their album >>90125 (Horn, Jeczalik and Dudley on keyboards, Langan engineering).

I remember art of noise. There was video for Close to the Edit. I like the fact that given his horrible experience with Yes, Trevor still appreciated their music very much and decided to title it similar to Close to the Edge. I remember the video for it very well. This little girl with a bunch of guys smashing up and chain sawing musical instruments. That was a weird video in itself.

Inspiration from chaos.
Construction from destruction.
Music from...anything handy, be it a xylophone or a circular saw.
Brilliant.
