Art Of Noise: Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, Gary Langan. Composers: Gary Langan; Jonathon J. Jeczalik; Anne Dudley. Personnel: Trevor Horn (vocals, electronics); Jonathon J. Jeczalik (keyboards, electronics); Gary Langan, Anne Dudley (electronics). Recording information: 02/28/1983-04/01/1984. Photographers: A.J. Barratt; Anton Corbijn. The Art of Noise's first full-length release, from 1984, is also their best and most intriguing. Containing the dance club smash "Beat Box (Diversion One)," the MTV favorite "Close (To the Edit)" and the influential, near-ambient "Moments In Love," WHO'S AFRAID is a revolutionary album that changed the course of modern electronic music. Its effects were felt equally in postmodern avant-garde circles and the hippest of dance clubs. Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan's work has both melodic and rhythmic sophistication and, perhaps more importantly, a playful sense of humor. "Snapshot" cheekily quotes The Who's "Baba O'Riley," and the key rhythmic element of "Close (To The Edit)" is the sound of a car ignition. WHO'S AFRAID also has darker moments, like "A Time For Fear," which prominently features tapes of the 1983 US invasion of Grenada, and the foreboding, ambient pieces that end the second side.
