..back in the days, when this tune dropped, E-V-E-R-Y B-Boy/B-Girl was bangin & breakin to this!!!!!....you could NOT escape it!!!....& to this day, the beat is STILL heat!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💥😎🤘🏽🤙🏽🖖🏽
Shortly after appearing at 0:56 in this video, Peter Gabriel bought a Fairlight and began to imitate the Art Of Noise. The resulting album "So" was given it's name due to the short sample time of the Fairlight, it's intended title was "So what happens now?"
I remember buying this 12 (Into Battle With The Art Of Noise) in 1983 when I was 15 & I was so confused because the record clerk said here’s the 12inch with that song Beat Box your looking for, I told him, ummmmm, that doesn’t look like a 12inch single sir, he said why? I said because, where’s the remixes at? He said, hey kid, this is a 12inch single according to are Tower Records import sheet & I said, well, why are there so many other songs listed on this Vinly, it looks like an album😂😂😂😂 & what’s up with the renaissance painting artwork on the sleeve😂😂😂😂….I was so confused by this 12inch because, let’s face it, ART OF NOISE kinda changed the way the 80’s created 12inch singles for sure….anyway that’s my little story & oh yeah, there a little song on the 12inch called MOMENTS IN LOVE, talk about a WTF is that moment 🤘🏾😲🤘🏾……
Exactly 40 years ago, this beauty emerged. I first heard it on the radio. WCLD in Cleveland, Mississippi, a Delta soul station. It scared the hell out of me. I would bury myself under the sheets as the strange new world unveiled itself to me. I would go watch Breakin' at some small in Pensacola. When I saw the dance battle at Radiotron, I had to discover its name. I watched the credits, but since not knowing any of the music, I assumed it was something called BeatBox by The Art of Noise. Asked for the cassette for Xmas 1984, and received what was actually their second release, Who's Afraid of, and when the second track arrived, I recognized it immediately. No other moment like it. Wore out the tape, and started collecting their vinyl. Went to London with my grandmother and sister in 1986. Picked up a huge number of records. My grandma sweet talked the customs guy, and we rolled right on through without paying duty. 😎 In hindsight, it is more and experiment than anything else. I believe the very first song to be comprised of 100% digital samples. It was the future. Raise a glass.
Still my favorite of all the artisanal noises, though "Il Pleure (At the Turn of the Century)" from The Seduction of Claude DeBussy is right up there... Thanks for so many years of so many incredible tracks!
The first time I heard this song, some N.Y.C. Break dancers were dancing to it in '83. I asked the name of the song and ran to the record store to buy it.
Sing along with the Art of Noise: (don’t be afraid) you get to move on, see, do what I say do this, don’t move look lively when i say say this, shut up see, do what I say, look lively

Absolutely iconic tune, still doesn't sound dated.
greatness never does
Was about to say, it's absolutely dated. Forward thinking at the time but definitely still dated by today's standards
that's a compliment most of today's corporate music is garbage@@eachfallenrobin

I'm 57 now and tempted to try and bust out a few windmills. I think I can pull it off. Might snap a ligament or tendon though. LOL!
Takes me back to the good ex from the 80's.

Seriously, OMG….I love that, thank you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾….I love AON & Gabriel & never knew about that inside knowledge…
I had just started clubing in NY when i was about 16. This track was play and the crowd would go nuts. Since then i was alway been a fan of Art Noise.
Use to break dance to this sh!t back in the 80s, dayumm 💯👍♥️🌟
Phenomenal. Life changing sounds in the mid 80s. Good times.
40 years old this month. Changed everything.
Classic blast from the past.
Sounding fresh as ever.
The 12" this was on was my first "album" EVER. I still have it and I probably played it a thousand times over the years.

Me and my dad used to listen to this in the car all the time.
I still have several of my old Art of Noise cassettes! ❤️ I LOVED this band as a kid.
The Art Of Noise made me want to make music. Got a parallel port sampler for my Amiga 500 two years after I first bought Daft.
This always hype me out
Legendary blueprints in music! God bless #The:Art:Of:Noise. 🎉❤🎉
When I first heard this track, I was very shocked. And it is still great to listen to now. 💖
Brilliant! Great memories. I'm LOVING this!
I had no idea there was ever a video for this track!
Cabrillo Beach Long Beach California in 1986 was lit with the Art of Noise. That fairlight put in some work.
Still my favorite of all the artisanal noises, though "Il Pleure (At the Turn of the Century)" from The Seduction of Claude DeBussy is right up there... Thanks for so many years of so many incredible tracks!
First time I heard this was on an episode of the 1984 "The New Show", Penny Marshall break-danced to it with the "Dynamic Breakers".
Nooice! 😎 STOC
Every song should have "that" bass drum and snare sound.
Art of noise are directly responsible for me becoming an audiophile!
Thank You !
ART OF MAKE GOOD AND AMAZING SONGS 👏👏👏🔥💯
Best Song ever. Thank you from a JY. Lion.
Amazing timeless track.
The first time I heard this song, some N.Y.C. Break dancers were dancing to it in '83. I asked the name of the song and ran to the record store to buy it.

📢📢📢Happy Day Art of Noice 🐺👈
It was my first time watching it.
but I was worried that 0:21 the pigeons would get into a big fight and 0:46 that the pigeons would throw poop on it.
🎉❤❤🎉
Sing along with the Art of Noise: (don’t be afraid)
you get to move on, see,
do what I say

My favorite Art of Noise involves Prince and Tom Jones.:)
GTA V taxi driving ❤
This Daft Punk before Daft Punolk
Reminds of vaporwave a little bit. Really good song though.
