ART OF NOISE - In No Sense Nonsense CHINA 12" Vinyl LP Album

In No Sense? Nonsense! was the third full-length album by Art of Noise. By the time of its recording, the group had been reduced to a duo, with engineer Gary Langan leaving the previous year—Langan's mix engineering duties were taken over by Bob Kraushaar and Ted Hayton for this album, but the music was produced entirely by Anne Dudley and J.J. Jeczalik. The album saw the group expanding their sound to include rock and orchestral instrumentation, in addition to their trademark sampling. Many of the album's tracks are seamlessly segued; ambient soundscapes blend into percussive rhythms, dramatic buildups, melodic string arrangements, and vocal choruses and chants. The sounds of various forms of transport are a recurrent theme. Musical motifs from "Dragnet", "Galleons Of Stone" and "Ode To Don Jose" recur throughout the album.

  Art of Noise is an English avant-garde synth-pop and electronic music group formed in 1983 by producer Trevor Horn, engineer Gary Langan and programmer J. J. Jeczalik. The band is considered one of the pioneers of the electropop genre and is known for their innovative and eclectic approach to music-making, incorporating elements of classical, jazz, and avant-garde music into their sound.

 One of the defining features of Art of Noise is their use of technology and sound manipulation techniques. The group made use of sampling, looping, and other digital audio processing techniques to create unique and intricate soundscapes. They were also known for their experimentation with different instrumentation and sound sources, incorporating everything from traditional orchestral instruments to found sounds and noises into their music.

 Some of the band's most popular songs include "Beat Box," "Moments in Love," and "Close (to the Edit)," all of which are considered electronic music classics. Despite having a relatively short lifespan, Art of Noise's impact on the electronic music genre has been significant, inspiring many subsequent musicians and producers.

 In recent years, the band has been recognized for their contributions to music history and have been the subject of numerous retrospectives and reissues of their work. Despite no longer being active, the legacy of Art of Noise lives on through their innovative and influential music.
