When I heard them for the first time somebody had to explain to me that art was first and above all acceptance of unusual and irregular ways of expressing oneself. Once that established, I had a less difficult time to accept the music from Art Of Noise. This is music that is not exactly your normal standard kind of instrument + vocals is a song. This is much more than that. This is the creation of atmospheres and sensations with the help of sounds that are woven together. This is very creative but I warn you, some tracks may be easier on the ears than others. Enjoy this compilation.
