 Best post-Art of Noise release April 3, 2008
J. Davies (Seattle, WA USA)
I bought all of the AON releases as they came out, starting with 'Into Battle with the Art of Noise'. Through the 80's they had moments of brilliance, moments of stupidity, moments of a rather high silly-to-noise ratio, moments in love...(ahem). Now, this disc is all I need to hear the moments of brilliance. I've disliked every 'greatest hits' package by any artist I can think of, because there always seems to be a track left out or a bad track included. Not here. This really is the best. If you only own one Art of Noise CD, this is it. I first heard this as an MP3 I downloaded. It is so good, I bought the CD (notice to the RIAA).

some of this suites my needs. It's much more lyrical than some of their albums.
remix? or just a collection of quieter tracks? October 20, 2005

remix? or just a collection of quieter tracks?
there is very little that would be different from just copying thse tracks from their orig cds and putting them together on one disc.
i am a long-time aon fan, so i thought i would give it a try. it is nice, but the "remix" aspect should not be pushed as a selling point.
if you don't have these aon albums, look over the other reviews and if you are intrigued, give it a spin: aon can do ambient as well as outrageous.
One of my Favourites June 28, 2005

The second phase of Art of Noise ( everything after the album "Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?" ) did not thrill me at all. The novelty duets and cover versions ( Tom Jones, Maxx Headroom, Duane Eddy, etc ) to me just ruined a formerly great artistic collective. Having said that, this ambient mix collection of some of Art of Noise's second phase material is one I cannot live without. I play it at night to relax, in the morning for something less abrasive, or after clubbing to chill out. All praise must go obviously to Youth, the mixing producer, and his DJ partner on this particular project, Alex Patterson of the Orb. They give life and wonder and a sense of astonishment to what had none of these things before. Five stars, gentlemen. Very well done.

My single favourite CD ever. Wow, I never thought I'd say that, but it's true.
This is a collection of the most beautiful music and immersive atmosphere. Very relaxing. Not for partying.
Put it on, kick off your shoes and close your eyes ... you will be transported to wondrous musical spaces.
It's so pleasant - kinda like a mental massage.
Recommend it? heck... I'd buy it for you if I could!
