Art Of Noise "Robinson Crusoe" (1989)

Art of Noise (also The 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.

For this track and album it was just Anne Dudley on her orchestra and JJ Jeczalik on his Fairlight (totally different lineup to what is stated and shown here).

First tune I ever heard by The Art of Noise and still the one I remember them by. Playing Island followed by this (and not the other way around) inspires me : SO beautiful and "faraway". Really gorgeous.

I love this song but why can't I find it when it search for it on my ipod ? Just wondering ! It seems to be findable on my PC but not on my ipod, which is both interesting and also a bit annoying.
