Filed under: News , Exclusive Tom Hines Despite their synthy, somewhat retro sound, Brooklyn pop duo Chairlift insist that they weren't intentionally influenced by the music of the '80s. In fact, they weren't even listening to a lot of music from that decade when they made their debut album, 2008's Does You Inspire You . It wasn't until the record started eliciting comparisons to acts from the era that singer and synth master Caroline Polachek [...]
Psych doesn't make enough of an appearance anymore. You might hear it drifting over the back of a cider advert, or stumble upon it while watching a re-run of The Old Grey Whistle Test , but as a genre, we don't talk about it enough. That doesn't mean that its influence isn't spread far and wide though the music we do listen to on a regular basis however, and one artist has taken it upon herself to provide a crash course to the genre in the form of this Art of Noise playlist. We welcome Mary [...]
Rare daytime post! Art Of Noise Art Of Love (Extended Mix) Ambience Of Love Heart Of Love So how the hell didn't I know about this? In 1990, Art Of Noise released "The Ambient Collection." As its name suggests, it is a collection of Art Of Noise tunes reworked as a continuous ambient mix. That alone sounds pretty rad. What makes it even more rad (I'm totally bringing "rad" back, by the way) is that the [...]
If I was lying on the beach with Halle Berry and we were both butt-ass naked, drinking strawberry daiquiris and caressing each others chestesses, I'd imagine that this song would be playing gently in the background. It's just so smooth and well-composed. The synths, bells, snaps and even the weird ass breakdown at the 6:45 mark—it all meshes perfectly. The Art of Noise - Moments in Love by Brandon Neasman on Grooveshark And besides simply being a dope ass track, "Moments in Love" is also one of [...]
Following on from my post last week on burners that need to be heard, if you haven't already. This coming from the side of me that feels that not every reader out there knows every great track ever pressed to vinyl (lord knows we don't) and just wants to share heavy cuts that you may miss. UK 902s Pop-House classic from John Reid (Nightcrawlers), and second only to the Mark Kinchen 'Dub Of Doom Mix' version, which become almost bigger than the original. MP3: Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling [...]
Heavy night last night? Sore head? No problem. Allow London-based quintet Zulu Winter guide you through their choice Sunday morning cuts. From Brian Eno to Spacemen 3, Nina Simone to Rain Dog - no stone has been left unturned. Tipped for huge things this year, Zulu Winter's debut full length is out this Spring. Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) This is a beautiful, lush and meditative piece from Mr Eno, which is perfect for a relaxing start to a Sunday. I [...]
Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: ZZT experimentalists The Art Of Noise teamed up with the best thing on TV in 1986, Max Headroom , and released 'Paranoimia', an ode to Max's insanity. Future basslines and vocoding in Eurythmics 'Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four)', the soundtrack to the movie adaptation of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, in, well, 1984. Sommerville era Bronski Beat best tune, 1984's 'Why?'. [...]
The post-modern pop-dadaists slapped this full-length debut into the mainstream consciousness way back in 1984. Charting at the lofty heights of number 8 it's hard to imagine such concept bashing fare getting a look in today; mind you it is damn funky. http://bleep.com/index.php?pag e=release_details&releaseid=36 # via deepgoa.blogspot.com underground music guide _________ © dg , 2011
Undoubtedly one of the most influential electronically led groups of the 80s, Art Of Noise's 1984 debut album "(Who's Afraid Of?) The Art Of Noise" is a brilliant piece of work that was groundbreaking at the time and still deserves your attention nearly 30 years on. Blending mechanical noises and subtle industrial leanings alongside ridiculously catchy hooks and infectious grooves, it's a must have for anyone with an intererest in electronic music. Art Of Noise - Closely, Closely (Enough's Enough) Featuring the original full five-piece [...]
Ya comentábamos hace poco más de un mes sobre este alemán de Berlin (maravillosa ciudad) de Theatre Of Delays (Tommi Theatralo) y sus primeros remixes, atreviéndose con Justice y The Rapture, y en este mes se ha marcado 3 nuevos remixes, para empezar con el clásico, maravilloso y genial tema de Art Of Noise y su Moments In Love, un temazo del 85 que ahora en manos del Berlines toma nuevas lecturas; luego le siguió el remix para el tema 'Douche Beat' del reciente álbum de Mr. Oizo y ya [...]
Happy holidaze everyone. I'll (sadly) be out of town all week, which makes recording and posting music hard. My plan is to have two most posts this week though. One will be without music, focusing on my favorite (and least favorite) albums of the year. The other will have awesome dance tracks. Let's hope that all pans out. Tonight: 80s pop! What's a better way to celebrate whatever holiday you pretend to care about in order to get gifts? Art Of Noise Moments In Love (Long Version) [...]
January 1942: 500 Wehrmacht soldiers found themselves surrounded by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. Suffering in temperatures of –22 Fahrenheit, marching through snowdrifts that at times reached waist high, soldiers began to lie down in the snow to die. Six hours into their escape they claimed they could go no further. Commanders made [...]

We have decided to change things up a bit on Saturdays, so with sadness this will be the last snacks. Don't worry though as there will still be plenty of free tunes on offer during the week. So we though that it would be fit to finish on a feast and go with a mezze platter. First up we have everyones favourite Glasgow dub outfit. Mungo's Hi Fi . They have a new album out now and fire this freebie out as a little taster. Mungo's Hi [...]
Having returned with their "Recommended" record Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT this past February following a two-year studio album absence, Akron/Family are all set to head off to Ultrecht in the Netherlands to play Le Guess Who Festival alongside the likes of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks from 24-27 November. But before they do, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Miles Seaton was kind enough to take some time out in order to put together a selection of tracks for our latest Art of Noise playlist. [...]
The Art Of Noise is back! Did you miss us? What do you mean "no"?! Well I suppose you won't want to listen to the exclusive mixtape Frankie and The Heartstrings made for us then will you? Oh right so now you're interested?! Yes, it's our Art of Noise playlist feature and this time around we've asked Sunderland's finest five-piece to delve deep into their record collection to dig out a selection of tracks that have inspired them to keep it real, made them dance around like idiots or transported them to previously [...]
"Hello 1984, we're The Art Of Noise , these things are called samplers, deal with it. This is 'Close (To The Edit)'" Buy Art Of Noise's music from: Follow @electronicrumor
The Art of Noise releases their first full length album, Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise, and the title seems to be a perfect fit for who they are. The Art of Noise, a clever and quite fitting name, introduces a twist on the idea of noise. Funny enough, noise doesn't always have optimism attached to its name. In fact, I don't know many instances where noise was "a good thing". Though the group, a teamwork effort by Trevor Horn and Anne Dudley, proves noise has so much more than what we think—layers upon layers [...]
