Description
Art of Noise pioneered the technique of sampling sounds and blending them into a melodic collage that defied simple classification. Variously described as hip hop, avant-garde, techno-pop, electro-jazz, drum and bass, and all points in between, the band influenced and inspired generations of musicians and left a lasting legacy. On these two CDs, we celebrate the best of their work on the iconic 1980s label, ZTT. Much-loved tracks such as Close (to the Edit), Beat Box and Moments in Love are featured alongside an array of remixes and rarities that together serve to illustrate exactly why Art of Noise richly deserve their reputation as one of popular music's most influential bands. Includes detailed sleevenotes and a fold-out poster.

looks amusing, but i certainly wouldn't term it a "best of."
