Date: 03 May 1999 12:18:58 EDT Hello, I just joined the list to ask a couple of "favours". 1) does anyone have or know the availability of the video of the ZTT concert at Ambassadors Theatre ? I had to leave early to get the coach back to Brum you know. 2) does anyone have tapes of propaganda gigs in Hammersmith Palais (or the german dates from around the same time) ? I had most of that early ZTT stuff, but lost interest after Das Psychoh Rangers (for some reason).

It was presented by someone called Chris Searle, and I think it was done by the BBC as it kept going on about BBC B's which are (now) old computers still used by some schools. The point being is that I want to know if I am right in thinking that the music they used for it was a variation on FGTH's 'Two Tribes'. I've wanted to know the answer to this question for a long while (many years); I was only a young nipper at the time, but the music to this programme I find had even then been lodged in my brain! I'd appreciate any thoughts/reflections. Thanks!

Jeczalik didn't return for this project Well I didn't take offence, but I am mystified - I only finished writing the Art of Noise articles for DJ mag (and sister mag EQ) this week and posted them to the editors yesterday... So how you can comment on their content is beyond me! Perhaps you thought that the simple, intentionally cryptic Q&A I posted to the list a few weeks ago (the day after the interview were recorded) was in fact the actual article!! Unlikely, but this is the only explanation I can think of for your mystical visions of the future...

I mistook his article "preview posting" as most of what I thought was going to be included in his articles for the respective magazines. I am truly sorry. He said that he just finished the final copies and sent them into the editors(I was wondering why the hell I couldn't find the new issues; do you have the street date on those Ian ? ).

I has the privilege of checking out some of Vince Clarke's gear when Erasure were touring last time around and was very surprised to discover that the entire show was sequenced off an old BBC micro (I'd never even seen one before, since they never got over here to the states).

Phil, was that TW programme (indeed Howard 'Stableford') the one with the Kraftwerk dummies featured on it? If so, I remember it vaguely. As for sequencing on a BBC micro! (Lazlo) I have an Atari ST and I thought THAT was due for a pension! :) I intend to edit a section of FGTH's 'Two Tribes' together with a bit of my own keyboard playing in order create an idea of how this theme tune sounded. It may even jog a few more memories?! I will attach it as a .WAV file, and keep it small. Coming to you soon.

The few searches I've done for The Metaphor Tops have yielded nothing. Anyone *ever* run across this thing? And if so, why haven't you MP3'd it yet? Seems like the ideal candidate...

I'm glad as a I've just layed my hands on a copy of 'Zang Tuum Tumb Sampled' (or 'Zang Tumb Tuum Sampled' as it says on the cover!) with songs from 1985/6 from Andrew Poppy/Anne Pigalle/Propaganda/etc; but I guess you fellow ztt'ers already know what this is. :-) I have a few questions about the 'album' as a result of listening to this for the first time: Q1:For those who have access to a copy: At the beginning of 'Disneyland' by FGTH, there are some 'abstract brass' sounds for the first few seconds. I notice these exact sounds are also used in the 'quiet' middle section of Propaganda's 'Duel' - the question is: which came first? (chicken or egg?) Q2:For those who dont (or do): What became of 'Instinct'? Those ZTT/XL typos still make me laugh! Though perfect ellipses everywhere. [chaos] The sleeve quotes: "1. The Post-AGE - Who even thinks to ask anymore - what becomes of the work of art in the world of mass production? No: WHAT CAN ART WORK GIVE the world of mass production?" Indeed.

To listen to Horn tell it, the success of the combination of Yes and Frankie Goes to Hollywood session hands J.J. Jeczalik, Anne Dudley, and Gary Langan, under Horn's direction and packaged by Paul Morley, was a complete and total accident. Gosh, we're pioneers with this new sampling technology? People are dancing to "Beat Box"? "Close (to the Edit)" is an international hit? How could this be? Please. That 'Into Battle' and 'Who's Afraid' were clever, arty, yet mostly accessible pieces of sample-based pop-dance by _design_ is obvious. Yet despite Horn (and Dudley)'s oh-so-British faux naivete, the fact remains: those two albums, and arguably the Horn-less "parody" that followed ('In Visible Silence'), are of groundbreaking importance not just in that they created palatable music from found, sampled sounds, but also in that they did it so _well_. And the arrival of this non-band foreshadowed a movement in electronic music that would lend new meaning to the term "faceless", influencing generations to come. While the Art of Noise had some fine moments after breaking with Horn's ZTT label in the latter half of the 1980s, its members parted ways in 1990. By the time popular interest in electronic music was surging in the mid-90s, Art of Noise had become synonymous with bland remix and compilation albums issued by the China label after the band's dissolution. Against the backdrop of this time that they had been ahead of, all of the former members discussed at one point or another the possibility of reforming, but it wasn't until Dudley and Horn worked on Marc Almond's 'Tenement Symphony' that a new Art of Noise was born, this time without Jeczalik and now incorporating Lol Creme and Morley again in more productive roles. Work began in 1996 and took over 2 years to complete. One would hope that the fruit of this labor would be a kind of redemption for the tarnished name of the Art of Noise, a bold return to new, untested ideas, something that would be as exciting and fresh in 1999 as 'Into Battle' was in 1983. Well, 'The Seduction of Claude Debussy' is a reinvention, to be sure, and in some ways it marks a return to some of the original concepts, but it is not by any stretch as daring as the Art of Noise of old. Further disappointing is that its creators are standing by the "we were good by accident" rhetoric, dismissing the contrast between the new and the old as a misunderstanding on the part of the fans as to what the Art of Noise was really about all along. On some levels, TSoCD is a triumph for Horn. It's clearly his baby, and his high production values permeate every second of the album's 60 minutes (or so; there are multiple mixes of the album in circulation already). Dudley's string and piano arrangements, based on relatively unknown Debussy compositions, swoop and swirl with grandeur around drum'n'bass styled percussion patterns, Sally Bradshaw's operatic declarations and John Hurt's narration about the life of Debussy that is so carefully placed at the right moments in the album. But the implication of such deliberate incorporation of each and every element of sound leaves the listener feeling like the new Art of Noise is now just all about technical perfection. Where's the accidental beauty in that? For that matter, where's the _fun_? Never has an album so perfectly produced by such talented people been so devoid of intensity. The new Art of Noise is very Euro, very mild, even when hip-hop icon Rakim delivers a surprisingly tolerable rap about Baudelaire, among other things, halfway through the album ("Metaforce"). The drum'n'bass inspired moments have half the drums and none of the bass that they should, and the closest thing to a real mood in this epic is the all-too-brief ambient interlude "out of this world (version 138)". That said, one still comes away from this album with a sense of relief. The Art of Noise are back and whether it was deliberate or not, they have crafted a quality album that, while not living up to anyone's expectations or being very much ahead of its time, is more cohesive than anything AoN -- or very many other musicians, for that matter -- have ever done. It's not without its moments, and there's a promise of more to come. Welcome back. We're not afraid. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Markus Arnold Subject: (ztt) Trevor Horn, AON, 808 Date: 28 May 1999 23:24:06 +0200 My apologies if this has been mentioned before: The July '99 edition of UK magazine 'The Mix' has a exclusive interview with Trevor Horn in it. It seems to focus mainly on Art of Noise and the new album. On a different note: 808 State's Newbuild re-issue seems only to have been imported by EVA/Caroline in the US, so it is not a US pressing.
