Art Of Noise - Daft 
SACD PS3 rip to iso | 1986/2003 Hybrid SACD | ZTT records | 4.07 GB
Experimental synthpop

This collection contains selections from WHO'S AFRAID OF THE ART OF NOISE, MOMENTS IN LOVE, & INTO BATTLE. Art Of Noise: Gary Langan, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik. 5.1 surround sound edition. For 3 years Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, Gary Langan & Trevor Horn endlessly remixed a collection of found sounds, rhythms, melodies & thematic motifs into a number of releases for Horn's ZTT Records. After the other 3 split from Horn in 1985, themes from these recordings constantly reappeared in their work, but it was not until 1998 that these original recordings were reissued on CD. The 16-song DAFT contains almost all of the groundbreaking 1983 EP INTO BATTLE, the wellspring for all future AoN projects, along with several stray singles & a good-sized chunk of 1984's WHO'S AFRAID OF THE ART OF NOISE. Among the brilliant tracks are the dreamily lush "Moments In Love," the bizarre vocal cut-ups of "The Army Now" & the influential hits "Beat Box" & "Close (To the Edit)." This CD, both avant-garde & accessible, is the purest example of montage in popular music.
