The time is about

You’re there!

1 The Art Of Noise just could not sleep.

2 This is the story of a hit: the story of how a piece of music fell together, fell in, fell over, fell apart, went missing, came back, found it’s place… on this cassette the art of noise broadcast the movement of composition… show off some details… drive on… the story is… how to move closer to your audience.

3 In the beginning there was a pile of drum and a pase for breath… divert to consider… and so there was Diversions Two… which got caught folding and contracted itself into Close (To The Edit)… this expanded into Close-Up… far from the hedge… (smile)…

4 This cassette closes Close. A Best Of Close… Closest Hits… Close Enough… noel coward wore nice close… come closer…

5 The Art Of Noise, played by The Art Of Noise, just could not stop.

6 The ‘That Was Close’ cassette was compilted by the Thursday Morning Middle Fingers. (Would you like to be strong and healthy?)
