THE ART OF NOISE 'In No Sense? Nonsense!'
(China Records WOL4)
Since Trevor Horn (wisely)
turned his back on them after their first album, the Art Of Noise stuck
ridigly to making New Age music for the Filofax brigade. Any progression
since then has been minimal. The once clever production ideas which
made 'Who's Afraid Of...' a minor recording landmark have now become
time trodden, and hearing the same sequenced engine noises after three
years is simply boring.
Snatches of 'live' orchestral and choral music (courtesy of the Ely
Cathedral Choir) add class to what is otherwise a muddle of style and
form. But then 'In No Sense....' is cluttered with passd ideas that come
tantalisingly close to taking off, only to die prematurely.
Madonna and Scan Penn
allegedly glided down the aisle to 'Moments In Love'. If this had been
their backdrop, they'd never have made it to the altar.
