The Art Of Noise is a British experimental pop group featuring Anne Dudley, Gary Langan, Paul Morley and Trevor Horn. Their music was an excursion into the sampled street style of music taking on its own. Their initial release titled “Who's Afraid Of The Art Of Noise” from 1984 contained their abstract title “Close (To The Edit)” which became an instant underground hit. The arrangement consists of pieces of recorded sounds (samples) being laid out a rhythmic parts and segments of melodies. The track like their many aims to work this new genre is infectious and leaves to mind an unfinished yet satisfying experience. Their work is somewhat of a masterful touch of engineering for the mixdown process.
I have taken the 12” version of “Close (To The Edit)” and reworked their pieces of ingenuity into a new ReStructure Mix. The new version which I have laid out focuses more of the piano riffs and adding a new sample to bring this one deeper into the “edit”.
