OK, I'm old enough to know about this band (and getting my tail handed to me trying to 'pop' to this back in the day). Songs like these were absorbed into the culture.
Is Art of Noise a hip hop band? Of course not!
But did they influence Hip Hop? Of course they did.
Their influences were felt across the music scene. That's what they did - cross boundaries and pushed limits. Every decade had its innovators - Art of Noise was definitely one of them.
@Lashid4u DOES know his history. Not sure what the other guy is trying to say. Sure a bunch of people used the same drum machines back then but so did Depeche Mode and OMD lol. But they weren't funky. Beat Box & Close To The Edge are early hip hop classics like Planet Rock or Trans Europe Express. All those tracks have more in common with LL Cool J then OMD. B-boys would break to these songs! People who fail to realize this don't know hip hop (or their music history). Google it haha!!!
quite possibly the stupidest video ever made... I remember seeing this shit when I was a preteen and thinking how stupid the 80s were, never did I think it would only get stupider in the coming years.
There is another song, like this from them. Same girl, and guys doing almost the same thing, but song is much faster, and the girl says " hey, hey, hey" in it. Almost an industrial, techno-ish song. I need help on this. It's driving me crazy! lol
People don't realize this, but their music was very much hip-hop - in fact, alot of these European groups did early hip-hop music - people think that hip-hop is just rap, but, actually, songs like "Beat Box" by Art of Noise, "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock, and songs by Man Parrish, Kraftwerk, Afrika Baambata & Hasim were the earlier songs of the 80s that B-boys would "break" dance to - BEFORE rap dominated the hip-hop culture.
@Lashid4u No no no silly fool. The same drums machines were used. It was all new technology that people were using in different ways. Yes, LL Cool J had the same drum machine as the Art Of Noise. but they were making different music.
@TriGGletyRidesAgain First of all, you used LL Cool J as an example - not good, in making this comparison ...WHY? Because LL was part of Def Jam, and in my opinion, Def Jam changed the sound of hip-hop music, or, rather, rap music ...Def Jam tried so hard to separate rap from any form of R&B, or disco, which is what made the change - no more electro-funk, synthesized sounds ...just "beats", pre-recorded guitar riffs & samples, like in Run DMCs songs...
@TriGGletyRidesAgain Perhaps you need to learn some music history - or, at least the history of music that derived, primarily, from black culture (i.e. rap, hip-hop, house, electro-funk)
@Lashid4u Totally WRONG. Hip hop has NOTHING to do with The Art Of Noise.
How old are you? You best be born in the 60s or 70s to know about this music.
Rap artists ( I wont use LL Cool J) are fringe bands/acts like TAOFN were all using the same technology, electronic instruments, but TAOFN was making totally different music.
I was traumatised by this video, as a kid. the make-up on the little girl, and the way she was moving....many slepless night...(and same for herbi hancock video)
@LysBlanco Damn, me too, came here for the exact same reason... only knew the group had the word 'noise' in their name. Looking back, not sure I understand why it scared the shit out of me... guess you're right, it's the girl and the way they all move.
This song would really be a great track for a bmx quarter pipe rider or a Flatland bmx'er video while they doing there tricks. Because this sounds like the perfect thing to play while there're in trick session. It has the eerie inner-city street connection to it that's why. I could see the guys just grinding,ice picking, flaring up on beat with this song
Got the album on vinyl with the cut out mask. Fortunately resisted the temptation to cut it out!! My husband reckons I can criticize any music because listening to AON qualifies me because I will literally listen to anything!!! I love them!
Why is it called "close to the edit" when the clearly say "close to the edge"? If you like this try "Why is the Run Gone? - Remix" you might like it too.
when i hear that line,to me it seems like she is saying (to be in england ,in the summertime,with the man i love)but it might b because it kinda sounds similar. gosh, can u believe this song is about 26 or 27 yrs old!
The instruments represent modern music, or currently popular types of music
And the men with tools are the music coroprations.
The young girl wants to make music, but needs the corporations to make it big and get noitced. But the coproprations take her music and turn it into todays modern crap, using tools (Like Autotone) to transform the music into their idea of "Good"
I remember I was trying to get this music at a music store in Washington. They didn't know what type of music this was under. This style of music was so unconventional, but soo cool.
There was a tall negro in my neighborhood who used to put a refrigerator box down on the ground and spin around to this song. He wore black puma sweats with 2 red stripes down the side of the arms and the pant legs. He smoked Kool menthols. He wore a shower cap all day long. He was my father.
I was watching an episode of The Venture Bros. and they had a bunch of weirdly dressed people living in an underground bomb shelter. There was a guy dressed like the guy in The Prodigy's "Firestarter" video and four other people. After some searching I realize they were referencing this video. I'm too young to get the reference initially, but I'm glad I looked it up!
I never got into At of Noise, but I remember this video well from the golden days of MTV. I watch it now and think, "Man, these guys were boldy going where no man had gone before."
The 80's really were a lot of fun, weren't they? A shame I didn't realize how much fun I was having then, but that's always the way, I guess. I had forgotten about that nucleared-out little girl, her crew of destruction and,of course, the dachsund. Thanks for this one ...
This was back in an era when musical artists were expanding the notion of what music was. They were thinking out of the box and actually being creative and taking risks. Now we just have a bunch of derivative, boring crap that's too scared to take risks or be creative.
@psych0s15 Today's artists aren't artists at all. The same way today's reporters aren't reporters - they are just news readers. Today's artists are just tools to shape pop culture and the kids.
@psych0s15 As much as I'd like to agree with you, using a bunch of pre-defined hits, pads, and synths is not even remotely innovative; not even when compared with artists 10 years before or in the present.
@psych0s15 Hi. I would just like to ask you a question. What level of mental retardation are you at? Seriously? This is art? If you like this, then I just have one more question? How much coke were you doing back in the 80's? So by bashing the music of the past and paving the way for the almighty SYNTHESIZER, this video represents what music should be? I think I may be just as retarded as you for replying to your comment.
@psych0s15 you say that in complete ignorance of the 10 years of krautrock that basically inspired this... which is essentially the commercial theft of all those sensibilities and actual creations... i'm not knocking it as most art is theft, especially when it comes from a place of proper creativity then into massive mainstream success... at the time there was far darker and more cutting edge music underground of this stuff... this was sheer fashion pop...
Respond to this video... also... whilst i agree that most modern music is utter shit... i've seen far more original stuff in the last 20 years than the art of noise... they weren't original whatsoever... there are a ton of creative techno artists right now... you just dont listen to them, and take one look at stereolab or portishead etc...
Really cool and catchy song...weird video though!! who's delingquint little punker girl is that anyway??? i remember watching this video back then. i got it on cassette lol!
@mikemontgomery1970 Yeah, this is one of my favorites and I didn't get it on tape until VH1 Classic came along about ten years back. I remember seeing this on MTV all the time back when it came out. MTV wouldn't be caught dead playing something like this nowadays.
@SirHatchporch MTV wouldn't be caught dead playing any music nowadays. Even VH1 Classic is getting away from playing videos. Wish there was a channel that would just play shit from the 80s.
One of the strangest songs/ video's of the 80's. But i couldn't help it....i always watched it back then....of course i was addicted to MTV in the 80's.
That little punk kid with too much 80's makeup is probably 35 years old now!! I'd like to see what that kid has done with their life since then...This video is very weird in a good way. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more views. Did people forget this video?
This was when sampling was new and exciting, you could only sample around a second at decent quality into the Fairlight CMI's AON used so you had to be creative.

@mikemontgomery1970 Yeah, this is one of my favorites and I didn't get it on tape until VH1 Classic came along about ten years back. I remember seeing this on MTV all the time back when it came out. MTV wouldn't be caught dead playing something like this nowadays.

@SirHatchporch MTV wouldn't be caught dead playing any music nowadays. Even VH1 Classic is getting away from playing videos. Wish there was a channel that would just play shit from the 80s.

That little punk kid with too much 80's makeup is probably 35 years old now!! I'd like to see what that kid has done with their life since then...This video is very weird in a good way. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more views. Did people forget this video?

This was when sampling was new and exciting, you could only sample around a second at decent quality into the Fairlight CMI's AON used so you had to be creative.

According to Wiki New Zealand banned this video because it depicts violence towards children.
Seriously?
The only violence going on in here seems to be directed towards various musical instruments. And she seems to be directing the violence.
