5.0 out of 5 stars Superior innovative group of '80s isn't a waste, October 31, 2000

This review is from: Below the Waste (Audio CD)

Art of Noise made four albums of orginal work throughout the '80s and Below The Waste is their fourth. Everything else produced until The Seduction Of Claude Debussey was rework. The personnel in the "group" varied with Anne Dudley and J.J. Jeczalik being the common denominator. Music of this CD ranges from African (Yebo) to Big Band (James Bond) to New Age (Island) to Techno (Dilemma). Sound samples such as fog horn, motorbikes, horses augment the wonderful music on the tracks and may prove distracting or seem silly to first time listeners. However, there is art in this noise and it is worth an effort to develop a taste for these great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Island, December 19, 2000

Late one night, during a rainstorm, I was driving along a deserted city street, hoping to find an open coffee shop. The tshhh-tshhh-tshhh of the windshield wipers combined with the darkness had an almost hypnotic effect. Suddenly, the track "Island" came over the car radio and it seemed as though the piece was written for the mood. The station did not identify the music, so when I found a coffee shop, I telephoned the station to learn the piece was called "Island" by Art of Noise. I bought the album. "Island" is a real mood piece...gives one a sort of etherial experience. Terrific!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album, July 12, 1999
