A-T-3 099 Art Of Noise - Into Battle

I was curious at how the Art Of Noise's Beat Box compared to The B Boys' Two, Three, Break (posted yesterday). They're both pretty abstract - AON get their name from Luigi Russolo's Futurist music manifesto “The Art Of Noises.” The Futurists had an obsession with machines and both The B Boys and AON are using machines to make music, the former record decks and an 808 the latter a Fairlight CMI sampler - so I was wondering how they'd mix together if you slowed Beat Box down a touch

The Art Of Noise

J. J. Jeczalik had been in the group Landscape and worked for Geoff Downes (The Buggles, Yes, and Asia) programming the Fairlight CMI, Anne Dudley was a keyboard player/string arranger working as a session musician, Gary Langan worked as an engineer at Sarm East Studios. They became members of Trevor Horn's production team in 1981 and with Horn as producer worked on ABC's Lexicon Of Love, Malcom McLaren's Duck Rock, and Yes's 90125. In 1982 Horn and his wife Jill Saunders (co-founder of SARM Studios) bought Basing Street Studios from Island Records and renamed in SARM West Studios. It was here where ZTT had it's offices. I've read part of the sale of Basing Street Studios was that Island would get the distribution deal for ZTT. ZTT - Zang Tumb Tuum, another Futurist reference - was launched in 1983, the label was founded by Horn, Saunders, Paul Morley, and Gary Langan

Like everything about Art Of Noise their are a few genesis stories and their debut release. These include the project came out of reworks of outtakes from the Duck Rock sessions, or the Red + Blue Mix of Yes's Owner Of A Lonely Heart was the template, and their debut shares samples that also appear on 90125, whatever it is, it could be all of those things or something entirely different, the production team of Jeczalik, Dudley, Langan, and Horn had a good thing going and the Art Of Noise was preparing for battle

The fifth member of Art Of Noise was the journalist Paul Morley who came up with the groups name (see above). In spectacular 1980s style Morley joined the group as a provider of concepts, art direction and marketing ideas. The group signed to ZTT (Morley also did the ZTT's marketing.) In machine music fashion there were no pictures of members of the Art Of Noise for their initial campaign. The title of the debut release Into Battle With The Art Of Noise references the content of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's sound poem Zang Tumb Tumb. Every art student learns about the Futurists at A Level, well I did when I studied art, Zang Tumb Tumb is foundational artwork. The poem is an account of the Siege of Adrianople (Into Battle) 'Zang Tumb Tumb' is intended to mimic the sound of machine-gun fire. Typographically the poem is set Parole in libertà in a freeing expressive way. Graphic designers were referencing Futurists and Russian Constructivists on sleeve designs in the 80s, ZTT surprisingly didn't so much, it was more of the ideology. This brings us to probably what Zang Tumb Tumb author Filippo Tommaso Marinetti is best known for, that is co-authoring the Fascist Manifesto. An A Level art student will tell you, the Italian Futurists were fascists. You can also see Morley's approach as a nod to Tony Wilson at Factory Records and his comical bastardisation of Situationism. My uncle who was a teenager at the time and a fan of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (whose debut album was produced by these same people) proudly told me ZTT stands for Zang Tumb Tuum

The debut release Into Battle With The Art Of Noise comes out late 1983 in the UK

"The first of many Art of Noise releases to confound collectors with artist and title information incorporated in Paul Morley's oft-pretentious and sometimes-cryptic prose, "Into Battle" is, according to Morley c. 2009, 'neither an album or a single or an EP - just a length of music that we put on a 12" record.' At the time of release, ZTT's own advertisements called it a single, it had a single's catalog number, and it charted as such, prompting chart rules to be adjusted to clarify just how long a 'single' could be. The ZTT website refers to it as an EP, an album, or neither (just a 'record' or 'release'). Morley himself called it an EP during the Value of Entertainment concert in 1985. Meanwhile, the music press called it an EP or a mini-album. On the U.S. dance chart, the format was unspecified when listing it as the source of the long version of "Beat Box", but it later climbed the Black LPs chart, despite being advertised as a 12" by Island in January 1984

"The cover art [for Into Battle] is based on that of The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Further Out (1961), and incorporates a section of the panel "The Knights of Christ" from Jan van Eyck's "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" (1432)"

Different mixes of Beat Box are released as a single with the names Diversion 1 and 2 in 1984, Diversion 2 was released as Close (To The Edit) in the US. Close (To The Edit) also uses The Andrews Sisters sample used in The Army Now. "Although the original 10-minute version [of Moments In Love] appeared on both the Into Battle release in 1983 and the Who's Afraid album in 1984, "Moments In Love" wasn't released globally as a commercial single until 1985, when the song was featured on the Pumping Iron II: The Women soundtrack" The 1985 12" also has an edit of Beat Box (Diversion 1) now titled Diversion 10

Beat Box was popular in the US with black audiences, "they were awarded Best Black Act of 1984. Beat Box was the track that everyone went crazy over and boosted the EP to number one in the dance charts in the USA. Moments In Love made its first appearance on that record too, along with The Army Now that sampled the Andrews Sisters. Nobody had ever heard a record that had been created using what is now known as 'cut and paste' techniques before or an instrumental love song with the sound of hammers being hit instead of the sound of a drum. Art of Noise soon gained a huge cult following in the USA that has remained to this very day"

Moments In Love has been sampled to death since its release, including Moments In Soul by J.T. And the Big Family in 1989 when Italian DJs were putting Soul II Souls Back To Life beat behind anything and everything

Your post about the plot holes was spot on! I have to say that for the first time since OC has aired I was truly disappointed in an episode. Besides the plot holes, the missed opportunities! That "walk of shame" could have been so much better. I was waiting for a Jenna Fox or a Victor Tate mention. I hate to say it but SVU was actually better last night. Liv dating Langan will have to grow on me. But if they're going in that direction it may make things interesting between her and Elliot.

i wonder if they are shying away from too many mentions of 1.0 bc they want to make oc more of its own property. like they want the show to stand on its own without people feeling like they need to watch all of svu to understand it. which on the one hand, i'm sure most oc viewers are also svu viewers, or at least were initially, but on the other hand i guess i get trying to make it more independent. so i wasn't surprised they didn't do more specific references to old shit. but like yeah if you're gonna make the man do a walk of shame there were so many more things they could have shamed him with.

i'm hoping that if they go the "liv is dating trevor" route they actually do something with it i wanna see elliot fight for her lol

Behind the Lyrics: Paranoimia by The Art of Noise

"Paranoia" is a song by the British new wave/synthpop act The Art of Noise, released in 1986 as a single from their album "In Visible Silence". The song features the character of Max Headroom, a computer-generated TV host and pop culture icon of the 1980s, as the lead vocalist.

Lyrically, "Paranoimia" explores themes of anxiety and paranoia. The lyrics describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty, and the difficulty of finding peace and comfort in these situations. The chorus refers to "paranoimia," a play on words combining the words "paranoia" and "insomnia," emphasizing the idea that the narrator is experiencing both a fear of the unknown and a lack of sleep due to their anxiety.

The Art of Noise was formed in 1983 by producers Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, and composers JJ Jeczalik and Gary Langan. The group is considered a pioneer of the electronic, sample-based sound that would become a staple of 1980s pop music. With their use of avant-garde soundscapes, unusual instrumentation, and cutting-edge technology, The Art of Noise helped to redefine the boundaries of popular music and lay the groundwork for later developments in electronic dance music.

As Carmen sat down, he leant forward to peck her on the cheek before heading to Rafael’s office, rapping lightly on the door before opening it.

Instantly, the bag of sandwiches he’d been holding for the squad dropped to the floor.

“Sonny?” Carmen asked, getting back up from her desk to see what was wrong.

The laughter that had not long died down was bubbling up inside her before she could stop it.

I found this chapter oddly hard to write. Initially I thought I was on a roll with it, and then I read it back and kinda hated it. So a lot of editing and an eventual entire re-write was involved... And I think it turned out okay in the end. :)
