Art of noise in visible silence


In Visible Silence is the second full-length release by avant-garde pop group Art of Noise in April 1986, and the first created by members Anne Dudley, J. J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan in the wake of their departure from the ZTT record label which had been the home of the group's genesis.

Contents

The first single, "Legs", was followed by two major hits on the UK chart in 1986: "Peter Gunn", that featured guitar legend Duane Eddy; and "Paranoimia" with television personality Max Headroom, where actor Matt Frewer performed two different monologues for each of the 7" and 12" versions.

"Legacy", a follow up single, was taken from a special limited edition bonus album, "Re-works of Art of Noise". A live version of the album was recorded in Hammersmith, London and released on VHS and 12-inch CD Video in 1987.
