The third album, In No Sense? Nonsense!, by the English avant-garde synthpop
band Art Of Noise is an experimental record. The instrumental power is besides
the traditional band sounds (electric guitars, drums, and synthesizers) made up
by orchestral and choral music. Art Of Noise created a piece where everything
fits together in the sound as a whole. The perfect production is an advance to
these wonderful and versatile songs. Some of the songs were included in
Hollywood movies like Dragnet (which won Art of Noise a second Grammy
nomination), Spies Like Us (with Paul McCartney), and Earth Girls are Easy.
Art Of Noise were an English group founded by members Gary Langan
(engineer/producer) and J. J. Jeczalik (programmer), Anne Dudley (arranger),
Trevor Horn (producer) and music journalist Paul Morley. The band is noted for
their use of electronics and computers in pop music and particularly for
innovative use of sampling.
In No Sense? Nonsense! is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually
numbered copies on turquoise vinyl. The expanded edition includes 9 bonus
tracks and a 4-page booklet. The deluxe vinyl edition is compiled and curated by
Ian Peel, with Anne Dudley and JJ Jeczalik. The bonus tracks have been mixed by
Gary Langan. Dudley/Jeczalik/Langan currently play live in various
formations.
