Press release
In a sense, what has happened here is that ZTT’s incidental instrumental series, kicked in the least by the departure of Art of Noise, has revolved to start up again. Released 3 years after ‘Into Battle’, an Art of Noise pro-extended play that set the pattern for all the snaps and bucks buckling sound these days, Andrew Poppy’s ‘32 Frames’ is made up of the same nature and un-nature of that record: 25 minutes of stabs at themes, plus further developments, and so on.

Things that could be said about this record from the crass —
In four weeks, Andrew Poppy’s first 7" single will be available: also as a 12". ‘The Amusement’ (ZTPS 02) will prepare the way for Andrew Poppy’s second long player, which will be released early 1987. What the singles, and all the Poppy music have in common with ‘new age’ is that it is instrumental. You see. To coincide with the releases of these two singles, Andrew Poppy’s digitally recorded ‘The Beating of Wings’ is released on compact disc.
