About

In Visible Silence is the second full-length release by avant-garde pop group Art of Noise, 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. They had minor UK chart success with the singles "Legs," "Paranoimia" (the single version featuring a sample performance by virtual television personality Max Headroom) and "Peter Gunn." A concert performance of the album, together with earlier hits, was recorded in Hammersmith, London and released on VHS and laserdisc in 1987. The original CD edition added the 6:01 extended version of "Peter Gunn as a bonus track. Some CD editions of the album replaced the original version of "Paranoimia" with the single version featuring Max Headroom. Later reissues also feature the extended Twang Remix of "Peter Gunn" as a bonus track. A 1986 remix album, Re-works of Art of Noise, collected the singles from In Visible Silence, plus live versions of "Legs," "Paranoimia" and "Backbeat" (retitled "Hammersmith to Tokyo and Back"). This album was included with limited editions of In Visible Silence.
