A group that were considered ahead of their time, Art of Noise are a synthpop band formed by arranger Anne Dudley, engineer Gary Langan, programmer J. J. Jeczalik along with producer Trevor Horn and journalist Paul Morley.

The group first appeared in 1983 with a song in their heart, a beat in their soul, and an ignition key in their hand. Formed at a time when the reverberations of punk, post-punk and new wave could still be felt, they were determined to be a different kind of group, a group that set themselves outside the then currents of fashion and style, a group that were the missing link between The Monkees and Talking Heads, Abba and Kraftwerk, Frank Zappa and The Archies. Their unique sounding instrumental compositions relied heavily on the innovative use of digital samples and computers to create their famous sound collages.

The group’s first China album, ‘In Visible Silence’ has been newly remastered and expanded with unreleased recordings taken from the original album sessions, single versions, and a multitude of mixes – some available on CD for the very first time.
