THE ART OF NOISE
'The Best Of The
Art Of Noise'
CHINA/POLYDOR
More properly the arse-end of noise,
the best having long gone. In 83/84, prankster and pop journalist Paul
Morley was playing word games with the music industry. Further amusement
was had with the technical toys in the ZTT studios, with the opening
Art Of Noise album as the result. Side one dates largely from this
period and includes 'Beatbox', 'Close To The Edit' and the lush
synthetic romance of 'Moments In Love'.
Side two is post-ZTT and features
their version of 'Kiss', with Tom jones - butch enough but lacking the
purple Prince's come-on. 'Paranoimia' has Max Headroom on vocals, and
it's now all repetition with the effects used no different from the
first singles.
