Electronic Sound is the best electronic music magazine in the world. In-depth coverage of the current scene, the pioneers, the machines, and the current thinking of the electronic music world.
We’re marking the return of The Art Of Noise with this month’s Electronic Sound cover story. Or The Art Of This as they’re now calling themselves. And as well as bringing you the very first interview with the band under this name, we’re bundling the magazine with an exclusive silver vinyl seven-inch featuring the new group’s debut recordings. More than 25 years on from The Art Of Noise’s last studio album, three of the five founding members – JJ Jeczalik, Gary Langan and Paul Morley – are rebooting the group as The Art Of This. They’re in fantastic form for our interview, telling tales from their early days and talking about going back to their avant-garde roots. They discuss Morley’s manifesto for the rejuvenated unit, which also includes former ZZT label manager Ian Peel, and describe themselves as “a sequel” to the original group. They claim there is another offshoot too, The Art Of That, which they say they’ll use “in shadowy ways”. True to form for the oddball electronic maestros, you should expect the unexpected.
