Reply To: Anne Dudley
Talking about Anne Dudley’s music The Art Of Noise must not be unmentioned.
Which is why we respectively I already did in the 2nd post 😉
Actually, I don’t know if there is any chance to connect to that music if you weren’t there at the time it came out.
It’s pretty 80s of the sound so you have to like that. But it is pretty crazy what they did without all the computer tools from today. They literally had to work with hardware samplers and such.
Like Thor I never fully explored the few albums. PETER GUNN was probably also the first track I knew. Before knowing Henry Mancini. I remember I was dissapointed at first when I heard the original 😉
I found PARANOIMIA annoying back then when it was in the charts but I came to like it somehow. MOMENTS OF LOVE I knew as it was often used but long didn’t know the title or by whom it was. Indeed the Hisaishi track has the same vibe but it seems otherwise different. Most likey inspiration/coincidence since he probably knew AoN.
I have digitally a Best of album, DAFT album (it’s kabel “Japan” version, no idea, seems indeed the first album with some bonus tracks) and IN NO SENSE NONSENSE which contains their other cover DRAGNET (which I believe was featured in or done for that David Akroyd remake movie).
So actually more AoN albums than actual Anne Dudley albums…
