All you folks getting their panties in a bunch about Art of Noise not being Hip-Hop need to check yourselves and learn YOUR history! Hip-Hop is whatever we, the practitioners of Hip-Hop SAY it is. Kraftwerk in the 70's didn't know their stuff was being worn out at block parties in the Bronx by Bam and Flash, just as those same dancers at those parties didn't know they were shaking their asses to the Monkies or the Stones. But it was still Hip-Hop, because of the context it was being played!

One of the BEST breakdance songs of ALL time. This is so OLD SCHOOL. Love the version, where the car is trying to start. LOL

@julaybeeb Well said. If they knew how we used the music the Video would have been much better.

I never knew this was a UK/British group till I saw the music video,"Close to the Edit",for the 1st time either during the late 1980's or early '90s.Their music has that early 1980's eastcoast(NewYork state)"hip hop" beat.

@subglitch I totally agree about that regarding Pierre Schaffer, I think Brian Eno even beat Art of Noise to it with the sound sampling theme on Bush of Ghosts. In a way i'm glad we didn't have the internet back in 83 (I was 13 then) as groups like AON would have had less impact. I just can't imagine what it's like from a teenagers point of view these days. I reckon it's harder to find whatever the cutting edge is these days amongst the noise.
