Talk:Art of Noise

message: I may be wrong, but I believe that the horns riff on Owner of a Lonely Heart on 90125 was specifically the work that brought the band together.

replies: text: Yes (if you'll pardon the pun} and no, mate. The basic origins of the Art Of Noise are highlighted into the splendid booklet that accompanies the recent box-set 'And What Have You Done With My Body, God?' - Langan, Jeczalik and Dudley were part of Trevor Horn's production crew (as Engineer, Programmer and Arranger accordingly). Horn, as a previous member of Yes, had left the band as a full-timer but was hired to mix the 90125 album; Langan and Jeczalik were the main collaborators on this project. When the mix was rejected by Yes, Horn bitterly stomped off back to his team... who turned round and presented him with a tape of a little thing the two of them had cooked up with a rejected drumloop from the Yes sessions and a VW sample. Horn was galvanised by this recording to launch the ZTT Label under the auspices of Chris Blackwell's Island Records (a man who on first listen of the tape, insisted that they should be ZTT's first band - "...then you'll have a label.") So, it was a whole collage of sounds (including some that had been cribed from the Yes sessions) that made up the foundations of the Art Of Noise - the band itself however, was pretty much in place as a working concern already. (Indeed, it was this undermining belief that Langan, Jeczalik and Dudley were really no more than Horns 'house band' that led to them splitting away...).

Just wanted to add a note of agreement on this.  Too much POV on the albums. Jfransella 04:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it "Art Of Noise" or "The Art Of Noise"?  Even their own releases aren't consistent about it.  I note that the page, as it stands, votes for "The Art Of Noise".  --Larry Hastings 12:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree to move the page to Art Of Noise as well.  I recently contacted J.J. Jeczalik (another AoN musician and programmer for the Fairlight CMI) through a good friend of mine and every time Mr. Jeczalik mentioned, "Art Of Noise" it was without the article. --Mr. Sinistar 21:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I corrected the implication that the band started out using The, which is not entirely true.  Here is a photo of the cover of the second 12" single and the word THE is nowhere to be seen, whereas 'Into Battle' and 'Who's Afraid' both use 'The'!!! Briantist 09:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Album and single covers are not produced by the band but by the record company's art department, hence they are by no means the final arbiters on whether the band's name includes the definite article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.172.212 (talk) 14:21, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proper band name? 

message: Now, is this true? ""Moments In Love"—a ten-minute, downtempo, instrumental ode to sex that appeared on both Into Battle and Who's Afraid—was remixed and released as a single in 1985"
Yes, the version that appears on both "into battle" (except the cassette version) and the album is ten minutes. But it's not really instrumental, it features a lead vocal, singing "Moments in Love", "In love, in love", "in, in" and various other permutations thereof. "Close (to the Edit)" is closer to being an actual instrumental. And is it an "ode to sex"? The Art of Noise were faceless and bodyless, and the song proceeds at a snail's pace. The vocal line is angelic; I don't think I hear any breathing and moaning ... maybe Paul Morley said it was about sex in an interview once (sources, please?), but the record sounds positively etheral; "in love" with nothing and no one in particular; fully clothed in Victorian garb and floating through the air. 85.165.5.149 13:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I remeber seeing AON being featured on a music track programme on Channel 4, the song in question was the theme to 'Robinson Crusoe' all music featured on the programme was susposed to have been availble. Anybody know?--Pandaplodder 13:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi there,
I'm a big AoN fan and I'm trying to find out what AoN song is playing in this particular  YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ts0uNBOri4
Does anyone know what remix is this?  I asked the guy who uploaded the video, and 4 weeks later he responded vaguely with "Beat Box".  Is this possibly "Beat Box Diversion 2"?  Thanks in advance!--Mr. Sinistar 22:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Beat Box (Diversion 2)" is the same track as "Close (to the Edit)"  BRIANTIST  (talk) 09:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno what the mix you have is, it's not an official one as it's just mixed with Malcolm Mclaren's "Buffalo Girls" from Duck Rock  BRIANTIST  (talk) 09:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Never heard of this group before, so could someone write up a member's section? Arkyopterix 11:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the "Reformation" section of the article, the band has dissolved. Thus, there is the "Former members" list in the article's infobox, with links to the members' individual articles. What else do you expect from a members section? BNutzer 12:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see how someone could get confused with all of the members of the Art of Noise, especially if someone doesn't read the entire article.  Thus, I made a Band Members section in the article.  I hope everyone likes it. -Mr. Sinistar 21:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the band's official website, Dudley, Horn, and Creme (with others) appeared as Art of Noise at the 2004 Prince's Trust. Youtube currently has the video.  Perhaps someone will edit to include this, since the article currently has the band defunct after 2000.Truddick (talk) 10:07, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
