Groovy!

Paranoimia is a single released by the group Art Of Noise in 1986, featuring the television character Max Headroom on vocals. The single reached number 12 in the UK Singles Chart in June of that year.

The original version of the track (without Max Headroom) features on the album In Visible Silence. Some later issues of the CD include the single version in place of the original.

Art of Noise (also The Art of Noise) was an avant-garde synthpop group formed in 1983 by producer Trevor Horn, music journalist Paul Morley, and session musicians/studio hands Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, and Gary Langan. The group's mostly instrumental compositions were novel melodic sound collages based on digital sampler technology, which was new at the time. Inspired by turn-of-the-century revolutions in music, the Art of Noise were initially packaged as a faceless anti- or non-group, blurring the distinction between the art and its creators. The band is noted for innovative use of electronics and computers in pop music and particularly for innovative use of sampling.

The name of the group alludes to the essay The Art of Noises by noted futurist Luigi Russolo. From the earliest releases on ZTT, the band referred to themselves as both Art of Noise and The Art of Noise. Official and unofficial releases and press material use both versions.

  • I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to bring Max Headroom back;given the current state of CGI,they wouldn't need Frewer-in-makeup anymore,and I'm sure there's other people who could do the voice.
