Samehere, I bought Into Battle with the Art Of Noise mini-lp in 1983 (still have it to this day in 2024)…..Art Of Noise & Kraftwerk are my starting point into electronic music,…what a great time for music discovery for me at 15years of age in 1983, I lived at the record stores😂😂😂😂
80s authentic brilliance at its finest. Europeans guys just experimenting and creating beats and Hip hop gravitated to there sound. This was a huge hit at the height of breakdancing in 84-85. This was an amazing jam to breakdance to. Kraftwerk were also influential in 80s breakdance culture. These guys rule!
Actually it was the opposite. Groups like Art of Noise was more of contemporary disco. The euro disco started by Giorgio moroder and Donna Sommers. The experimenting in this is more closer to hip hop experimenting and scratching. Kraftwerk. Their influence came from the disco era. Giorgio Moroder. And it's because of the funky sound that's more closer to Black music as far as beats. Is the reason these two bands and a few more of Europe became popular in hip hop community. But the same can be said about Detroit techno, Chicago House and New York electro funk having and influence on 80s Europe electronic music. But even those roots can be found in disco. Stevie Wonder, Blonde etc
Like you said they were influenced by Kraftwerk. Even though this song was influenced more closer to hip hop scratching they were still experimenting and creating a different kind of sound that breakdance culture gravitated to. They're European guys dressed in costumes and masks that made there mark in hip hop. They were non hip hop guys like Kraftwerk who both created anthems in breakdancing is pretty amamzing.
THREE Fairlight CMIs (i suppose the IIx model), a freaking Memorymoog AND a PPG Wave 2. I swear, this still makes me drool even 40 years later. Modern DAWs don't give me the same feeling.
This the was the B side of Close to the Edge, I bought this single in 84. Nothing sounded like that before, heavy industrial sound. Definitely ahead of time 👍
Here in America, we didn’t get live shows of Art Of Noise like they did for the U.K., so, for 8 years or more (during the non-internet age of the 80’s), my friends & I, never knew what they looked like, we just had Album Art of there records for almost a decade😂😂😂😂….only Trevor Horn (who was part of or the producer of AON), was the person we recognized, by way of his Video Killed The Radio Star performance on MTV from his Buggles band, besides that AON was a complete mystery, we only knew of there mask they wore, drove us young kids nuts 😂😂😂😂😂
Not knowing what they looked like was part of the schtick to start with. Once Anne Dudley won her Oscar and ever other music award it was a bit pointless hiding
Yes indeed, your 100% correct, I believe that was Paul Morley's idea, as he was the brilliant writer who came up with many of there song names, album cover art & album cover wordplay & even the name Art Of Noise was his idea if I remember that correctly...the mystery of there identities & how they created there music was of Paramount Importance in an already highly competitive music industry in the 80's
EPIC...🔥🔥🔥🔥 This song inspired a GENERATION of urban Hip Hop kids...used to be my FAVORITE joint to pop/breakdance to waaaay back in the days because of the instant ADRENALINE SURGE that would hit me as soon as that bass dropped...💯
*"This song inspired a GENERATION of urban Hip Hop kids.." LOL!* Don't get carried away. People liked to breakdance to it, DJs put it on their mixtapes but NOBODY, especially a generation, ran around saying this song inspired them. 🤣
Honestly I had no idea there was an actual band behind this or that they did live performances. I used to think this was one of Trevor Horn's studio creations. Really interesting to see and hear.
This is the studio feed rather than the broadcast footage. Do you also have the studio feed or recordings of the other Art of Noise parts from this episode of The Tube?
Thanks for this, love this track and the band. Although Paul Morley including himself as part of the line up was a joke. Only person in music more useless to a band than Bez.
Let us salute Morley, who transcends being a pretentious git by turning it into a boring act of post-modernism in itself. I hope he brewed the Fairlight wranglers a decent cuppa.
listening in 2024 and this sounds....FRESH
Ive got everything they did.....love this band. Iam 57 and still listening to their work 😊
53 and still listening to the
Art of Noise

Antony H. Wilson introduced them
@@cathalseeeney factory records 🤘
@@popnfresh2928 Tony Wilson was indeed Factory Records, but the Art of Noise were with Trevor Horn's ZTT label
Public not knowing what is going on. That's future in front of them.😊
In all fairness two people in the audience Knew what was Up! Perhaps they are Time Travelers?!
This was one of the best Hip Hop break dance song in the 80s. They also remind me of Kraftwerk too but they were both popular in the Hip Hop arena😊
@@kemilkerim4973also made the smoothest rnb song ever “Moments in love”

As a 46 year old, dorky white dude,
Who knows a lot about old school stuff...
Even this pre dates me.
So Sick!!!!!
Art of Noise Baby!
Art of Noise "was way ahead of time "
I love the art of noise
Did I count at least 3 Fairlights on that stage? 40 years on, I still geek out over that kind of thing.
Grâce à Anne Clara c et elle qui a créé art of noise

Close To The Edit you mean, Close To The Edge is a song title from prog-rock band called YES....

I second that art of noise way ahead for the time.

One of the greatest beats of all time.. Great jam!
Remember seeing this brilliant art of noise performance live on the tube back in 1984. Awesome 🎶
Used to break dance to this one .
Honestly I had no idea there was an actual band behind this or that they did live performances. I used to think this was one of Trevor Horn's studio creations. Really interesting to see and hear.
Totalmente futuristas
¡¡¡Que sonidos por Dios!!!🙏
Esto si es sacarle lo mejor a la tecnología musical.
Tremendo Art of noise
This amazing way ahead of its time whether you were poppin or breaking this it love the extended versions
Installing and running 2 Fairlights on stage... Easy... 😉
(without mentionning the desk, the lexicons, the memorymoog, the PPG, etc...)
I WAS A TEEN BACK THEN ,& Maaan WE Would BATTLE OF OF AON & JUST BREAK IT DOWN ALL THE TYME BABY😮😮🤔😲😌..!!
40 years ago! And still fantastic!
JJ Jeczalik king of sampling
Yes he is & extremely modest about it too, matter of fact, all Art Of Noise members don't seem to take any of it seriously at all🤣🤣🤣....
Circa 83...what was it ?! The birth of sampling !!! Awesome !!! And the video quality is very good. Rio de Janeiro...Jan 24
G.O.A.T!!!!
Very catchy and creative considering the limited amount of memory and polyphony. I miss big hair! 1:56
Never gets old
That poor engineer.
Bringing up all that equipment on stage,I hope it was at least an hour and half show! Where's the rest??
This kind of reminds me of the Techno Pop demo.
All that gear fits on an iPad in 2024.
Amazing 🤩
Thanks for this Gem. I Subscribed.
Awesome 😊
The original drum samples came from Alan White of Yes...
"Leave It, and that's the same song that AON got the dumb vocals, and Legs vocals too"
ART OF MAKE GOOD MUSIC 👏👏👏👏
This is the studio feed rather than the broadcast footage. Do you also have the studio feed or recordings of the other Art of Noise parts from this episode of The Tube?
BU BU BU BUP. BUP BOW.
Get 'em up....
Moi 50 et suis encore midinnette

Music didnt have to be so loud to be good.
If Spinal Tap had a keyboard player. Just Awful.
