| |                     "art-works [of noise]"                     | |
| | on accelerator today i covered the work of innovative eighties | |
| | sample-heavy techno-popsters, the art of noise. i played music | |
| | from 1983 through to 1999, released on zang tuum tumb, then on | |
| | china (formerly www.china.co.uk) and finally back on ztt after | |
| | members of the band reformed in 1998. the show featured a load | |
| | of classic a.o.n. tracks from the eighties, two tunes from the | |
| | late nineties plus a selection of tracks from the band's three | |
| | remix albums - 'the ambient collection' from 1990 (compiled by | |
| | youth and alex paterson of the orb), 'the fon mixes' from 1991 | |
| | (containing mixes from a variety of big-name techno producers, | |
| | e.g. carl cox, the prodigy and graham massey of 808 state) and | |
| | from 'the drum & bass collection' from 1996 (with remixes from | |
| | the likes of doc scott, dom & roland and lemon d). i presented | |
| | the show as two extended mixes which are labelled below as A & | |
| | B. sadly the official website www.theartofnoise.com appears to | |
| | be offline but there's a comprehensive site on the group here. | |

| | top trivia factoid: i've noticed just recently that the art of | |
| | noise have full writer credit on 'firestarter' by the prodigy! | |
| | i guess this is due to the prodge sampling a.o.n.'s "hey!". :) | |
