Label: Salvo Music
Format: CD X2

intro

Excellent and beautifully packaged double CD with many unreleased tracks from seminal 1980's electronic group, the Art of Noise

This is a complete insight into the Art of Noise, a great double CD which covers all the work they produced whether it be commercial releases, remixes or even TV commercials and soundtracks. The group were a mainly electronic outfit centred around composer Anne Dudley who started out in the early 1980's and finally dissolved in 2001. The music and its production values throughout are brilliant. If you ever liked any of their releases then this is a must buy, because, as well as featuring every single they have released, there are some rare tracks which are absolute crackers. The Art of Noise are often seen as an instrumental group, but there are some vocal-led tracks which just add to the experience. The music on 'Infleunce' is timeless. Some tracks are reminiscent of Kraftwerk, while others have a hip electro funk feel. There is a good covering of the more seminal tracks. Classic 1987 single ‘Moments in Love’is a good example with several good mixes. Sound bytes were instrumental in Art of Noise productions and were cleverly chosen and not over used. The second CD provides a lot of unreleased material and more gems. This double CD has enough variety to take any repetitiveness out of the equation and has some tracks which are and will always be classics. The second CD is the one for collectors with its unreleased music. 'Influence' is an excellent and beautifully packaged compilation from one of the infleuential electronic groups.
