Art of Noise "Moments in Love"

Thing is: I think I can actually sorta answer this one! I believe Art Of Noise used a very high-end Fairlight synth for most of their work in the ZTT days.. at least Anne Dudley did. I couldn't tell you the exact model, but I'm quite sure that's the make.

what donut said.

but anyway, moments in love is pretty much the best tune ever, until i think of one i like better. whos afriad of the art of noise is a decent album, so is in no sense, nonsense!

"How To Kill" is still hard for me to listen to today, because I played it right after my folks told me they had to put our first dog to sleep later that day. I was 12 years old at the time. Anyway, that song is very proto AFX in certain ways.

You're reading my mind here ... the second trifecta might be my favourite five-minute stretch of AON music. "How To Kill" is devastating. Hearing the batteries gradually give out on the "It stopped" Voice, together with the dreary, mournful chords that accompany its slow death ...

It's amazing how the mood shifts (in a matter of only about five seconds) from impatience or irritation toward The Voice, to empathy regarding its demise.

still, anyone reading this thread who doesn't own Daft: go buy Daft

minus the original version of 'beat box' on Into Battle

but you know this. my god I'm awake.

someone please help

There's also another remix of "Moments In Love" which is basically the remix but slowed down to 16rpm.. called "Love Beat" I think. it contains an intro feat. what sounds like the band in the engineering room talking to themselves.. maybe Trevor or J.J. and Anne or something like that. It's on the "Love/Moments In Love" 12".

fuckers!

hey look at this: http://www.discogs.com/release/181039

Of course you knew that, Chris -- ha ha.

A board I post to from time to time posited the theory that the tapes may have been destroyed in a fire to the ZTT vault some years back.

And they still didn't use the correct version of "Beat Box" on it? Que lamo... especially since the only things off the EP that didn't make it onto Daft were the "(beatbox diversion intro)" and "Beat Box (orig. version)".. Daft's got everything else, and also an extended version of "Snapshot"!

I'm guessing by "(beatbox diversion intro)" you mean "Battle". And yeah, too bad it's missing from Daft — a neat, blarey little track, that.

It's so adorable.

Re. the CD-R, if you look on slsk, you'll find it under the title Bashful. And yes, it's very, very good. If you love ZTT-era AoN, you need it.

someday, I'll get on soulseek.

The news about a CD reissue in this thread made my heart first leap, then cry.

Great lost AoN track: "Why Me?," from the Paranoimia single.

Song they played live that I wish they'd recorded: "In the Mood." As in Glenn Miller.

I still think that "Legs" is one of the most underrated charting singles ever. I heard that on Top 40 radio in 1985 when I was 13, and I was all "what the fuck.. a loud swinging intro into a hard stomping elephant grunting sound beat with a weird-ass breakbeat bridge filled with hiccuping aliens and shouts of 'LEEEEEEEGS!' all the time". And people who make industrial or experimental electronic music forgot about this song? (Same goes with Yello's "Oh Yeah"... CHIK.. CHIKKI CHIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!)

the orchestra hits on this joint are fucking awesome

the 'beaten' mix that i'd not heard before which surfaces on the new ZTT 12"s CD compilation is *gorgeous*.

shame they broke up like but it's no surprise that this pair got married with Moments Of Love ringing in their ears.
i mean.. aww:

Hi ILX!

seems you cant quote old posts. im just here to say, i found out that the "lame" garage tune i had in mind 16 years ago is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmrrdo14HeQ. once i tried to mix the two together in a set somewhere. it sounded awful. seems like that tune sampled a different hoyse tune anyway....which may have just sampled JT and the big family....which sampled/////

have u heard that garage tune which rips the main sound off it?
well its a bit lame
but anyway, moments in love is pretty much the best tune ever, until i think of one i like better. whos afriad of the art of noise is a decent album, so is in no sense, nonsense!
