Description
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1987 release. Features bonus seven-inch and 12-inch mixes including collaborations with Paul McCartney (The Art of Noise 'Spies Like Us' remix) and Duane Eddy ('Spies'). Additionally, there are 22 unreleased recordings from the sessions, taken from the original master tapes. In No Sense? Nonsense! Is the third full-length album by Art of Noise, recorded in 1987 and released in September that year. By the time of it's recording, the group had been reduced to a duo, with the engineer Gary Langan leaving the previous year. With this album, the group expanded it's sound to include rock and orchestral instrumentation, in addition to it's trademark sampling. Many of the album's tracks are seamlessly segued; ambient soundscapes blend into percussive rhythms, dramatic buildups, melodic string arrangements, clarinet ensemble 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.

This is a nice looking set. One thing you can count on with the Art of Noise is there is no shortage of dance/remix/alternate mixes of things! It's great that they managed to include their remix of Paul McCartney's "Spies Like Us". I hope this appears on Amazon.ca soon.

So I finally track down the Duane Eddy album with a couple of Art of Noise collaborations ... and now they show up here.

But seriously, this looks jam-packed and should be a fun listen.
