The early 1980s was dominated by synthetic and sampling technology. Brands like New
England Digital's Synclavier, the Fairlight and Ensoniq could be found in many hi-tech
recording studios. Crisp, thudding electronic drum sounds appeared on so many of the
single of the time.
This album received a lot of critical attention on its 1984 release. A production
genius -- Trevor Horn -- was on the march, and this LP was expected to give more
insight into his methods. Up to this point, he had done some staggering work for Yes
with '90125', Frankie Goes to Hollywood ('... Pleasuredome') and, I think, Grace Jones.
Compressed orchestral samples -- as in Yes's 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' single -- were
his trademark.
The Art of Noise was his backing band / production staff / co-composers -- call them
what you will -- and this was their first showcase. Every sample is polished until it
shines and sparkles. In the UK, 'Close (to the edit)' was the single that drew the
record-buying public to the album, and 'Moments in Love' provided the justification for
buying it. But the rest, although a couple of years ahead of its time, now sounds
dated. The album provided a great demonstration of one possible musical future --
a future centred on sampling technology.
'Moments in Love' is a classic track that deserves all the praise heaped upon it by
other reviewers here. Much credit is due to Anne Dudley, who went on to write material
such as the soundtrack for 'The Full Monty'.
