Art of Noise - Close to the Edit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxidef...
Art of Noise were 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.

Thanks! I was looking for the location, another post said London, but I've been to the HIGH LINE, and thought it looked familiar! Great park and a worthy visit if in NYC. Walked it up and down and up 10th Ave at street level through Chelsea. I stopped and had the best Blue Cheese Burger of my life (less than $9 for the deluxe platter)
