5.0 out of 5 stars A weird, but great CD, May 22, 2004

I mainly got interested in the art of noise after hearing "Moments in Love" on the radio. After I heard that song, I wanted to know more about the artist because I really liked that song. I also own "The Ambient Collection" which contains some of the songs from this album like "Opus 4" only this version is different. But after I heard their music, I was suprised to see that their other songs sounded very different from Moments in Love. At first, I didn't like their music that much but the more I listened to it, the more I enjoyed it!

Art of noise plays really strange music and they use voices in all of their songs, some real and some from a synthesizer. Their songs are like rock sounds except Moments in Love, which is more of a soft, ambient song. I thought that every song was worth listening to and I think that everyone should listen to a few of their songs just to see if you like their kind of music.

The only proble is that this "blue cover" version is a rare CD and is very hard to find in most stores. I was lucky to be able to purchase a very good used copy from amazon. There is also a "pink cover" version of the CD but I bought this one because it had Moments in Love and because most reviewers said it was better. I hope you all enjoy the art of noise!!!

The Art of Noise was a techo-pop trio from England. This out of print version of "Best of" features mostly 12 inch versions of their singles. Not bad, if you can find it.

For those of you that are looking for the version of "Moments In Love," that begins with a piano and gradually builds like a ladder and ends with what I assume is a saxophone, you'll find that version on this CD. The version of "Moments In Love," that I'm referring to was released in 1983. That particular version gives me chills everytime I hear it.
