636.0. "The Art of Noise" by 43156::ANDY_LESLIE (Andy `{o}^{o}' Leslie, ECSSE. OSI.) Mon Feb 09 1987 03:40

    
    Just a note [:-)] to recommend "In Visible Silence" by The Art of
    Noise. 
    
    Superb!
    
    I have seen one other AoN CD, but it seemed to be old - 1983. Has
    anyone any knowlege of recent albums?

636.1IN VISIBLE SILENCE is great!COLORS::HARDYMon Feb 09 1987 14:1210
    What's that?  You've seen another Art of Noise CD?  Where?
    
    I saw, and bought "Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise" on pre
    recorded cassette at Newbury Comics, but only after the clerk
    assured me that to his knowlege it was not available on CD.
    It sounds so good, even in this form, that I'll surely pay
    for the CD if I can locate one.

    First, thanks to John R Covert for his recommendation.
    
    
    Second, I have this feeling the other AoN CD was called "Fred" or
    somesuch. The liner notes said it was recorded simultaneously with
    another album.

636.3Zang Tuum Tumb strikes again!RAINBO::HARDYFri Mar 20 1987 12:2811
    I'm pleased to say that I found that other Art of Noise CD
    at Newbury Comics in Framingham last night.  It's called
    "daft" and is a compilation from "Who's Afraid of the Art
    of Noise", "Into Battle", and "Moments of Love", from
    1983 and 1984 -- sixteen tracks in all.
    
    It is an import, on the ZTT label (the same people who brought
    us Frankie Goes to Hollywood) and the code is ZCID Q2.

    HEY!
    
    Would anyone like to part with a copy of the AoN 's
    
               Reworks of the Art of Noise
    
    It is a Japanese import cd and is (as far as I know) out of print
    in the U.S. I saw it at BCD once and missed my chance. I have the
    album which is a combination of live material and remixed versions
    of popular songs. Any help in locaating one is greatly appreciated.
    Send me a mail message and we'll talk deal later.
    
    thanks in advance

    ART OF NOISE
    In No Sense? Nonsense [CHINA WOL4 LP/Cass]
    =====================
                                              
    The Art Of Noise's main fault is that they are not really very
    entertaining.  Who's Afraid Of had the shock value to fool people
    it was better than it was - play it tomorrow and see what you think
    now - but there's been so little progression between then and In
    No Sense, that their vaunted 'pushing back the barriers' looks like
    briefly moving the goalposts.  Dragnet, a recent single, is joined
    by A Day At The Races and How Rapid as adventures in beats that
    have no understanding of rhythm.  Other tracks include a percussion
    and wailing guitar chase, snatches of the Ely Cathedral Choir, 10
    seconds of passing pedestrians recorded in an underpass somewhere
    and several snippets of New Agey clonking and bonking.  It's all
    excellently recorded, but comes over like the sort of thing hi-fi
    buffs use to listen to their very expensive equipment.
                                                          
    "Q" rates it as "**", which in their terminology means "Poor"
                                                                 
636.9LESLIE::LESLIEOSI: Just bang the rocks together!Tue Sep 29 1987 19:331
    ...and it isn't available on CD, just vinyl.
636.10Maybe some other time...VIDEO::ASHEDetroit: It's no place for wimps!!!Wed Sep 30 1987 18:335
    
    Oh well, solves that problem.  I'll wait on this one.
    
    Thanks,
    Walt
636.11This is the city, I work here, I carry a badge...LESLIE::LESLIEAndy, CSSE ME for VOTS/OSAK/MRX.400Sat Oct 24 1987 15:347
    
    Bought today: In - No - Sense: Nonsense, on CD! 
    
    First Impression is that it's bleedin' good too! I'll do a detailed
    review soon, have to watch Buckeroo Banzai on the box right now.

    Re: Bukaroo Banzai: No. It was Saturday night and we'd rented a video
    is all. 
    
    In - No - Sense! Nonsense! by The Art of Noise. China Records� CDD 1570
    The Art of Noise "inside information" address is given below �.
    
    Sound 9, Performance 8. Recommended for purchase.
    
    Once again there are many short tracks, run into each other with
    various sound effects. There are 16 tracks, best track at the moment,
    to me is Dragnet. 
    
    There is no getting away from it, The Art of Noise are W I E R D - but
    fun! Since John Covert introduced them to me via the In Visible Silence
    release, I've been astonished to find that I actually like this stuff. 
    
    Much more information is given in the liner notes for I-N-S-N than IVS.
    But it was unclear to me whether this was a digital recording. I think
    it's just a very good analogue recording. Sound levels are varied, as
    on all AoN releases, but no hiss is audible to me during the quieter
    passages.
