Art of Noise at a point

look out for the Art of Noise compact disc ‘DAFT a truly spot-on item for those of you in long real love with the energy and worry of these damned hot times. ‘DAFT is an honestly modest exaggeration of the Art Of Noise as they stood and sat during the one year they were on the Z.T.T. record label: honestly modest and yet dishonestly moist. ‘DAFT contains 1 hour of noiseness, music taken from the Art Of Noise albumette ‘Into Battle, the Art Of Noise album ‘Whos Afraid (Of The Art Of Noise) and the Art Of Noise 12" ‘Moments In Love

The Customer Is Always Right: which Art Of Noise single should Z.T.T. re-release?

And remember, if it wasnt for the Art Of Noise, it wasnt where it was.

F.G.T.H. at holiday

Look out for nothing much from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and dont cross your eyes because the wind might change.

Those of you who have written in hostile agitation regarding the disintegration of the Liverpool wonders, take heart. Something collectable will be your way directed not longer than extremely soon. Individual members of the group are at this particularly virile moment preparing their collectable delights.

As for their next single release, The Customer Is Always Right: should the next psych-oh rangers single be

a) Power Station
2) Intellectual Gangsters
iii) The Death of Innocence

The rangers work on, all for one and ten for all, waiting for just that right moment when pop is at it worst flabbiest and they can leap in, as unpleasantly as possible. this weeks psych-oh! mott-oh! life is for smashing-oh!

Andrew Poppy at the moment

looking at the sales figures, it would seem that more and more people are all and all the time learning more and more about the original music of Andrew Poppy. What can Z.T.T. say but good. Anyone claiming any record by Andrew Poppy will, up to the point of EMOTION, SATISFACTION, REFRESHMENT, not be disappointed. Let us hope that amidst the shrieking hysteria of these damned hot SELLING TIMES there is still real room for privacy and moments of authentic bliss. There must be some humanness left to-day.

The Customer Is Always Right: Is there much more to life than the consumer breakdown?

lifes like that.

Snobbery & Decay is a f — -ing suave seven inch and a sheer showtime 12" — the 12" includes an alarming interpretation of a song from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rices ‘Evita. Lifes like that!

Were wondering at Z.T.T. what with the gorgeous shock of ‘Snobbery & Decay, if some wit and sophistication will be charging back towards the charts.

Act are currently recording their debut album, also to be called ‘Snobbery & Decay.
