Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise

I don't write much on these forums, but.. I'm drunk and
nostalgic now :p

Art of Noise : "Who's Afraid of.." is like the first ""idm""
to me..

..the album sounds "intelligent" to me, and it was the first
"experimental" thing I heard..

I was 12 years old, in a german hotel (1985) and heard a
track of this album, and I was like, ehh, I dunno how I was
like, but it was the first time I heard some
"weird/experimental" electronic music.. and blah blah, I
might just be pathetic and nostalgic, but, I lost that vinyl
years ago, and I just downloaded it now, and.. well, I got
nostalgic..

(I know I'm old, and alot of you are like "my first
electronic album was aphex twin" or something) ;)

It's one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME. Have you seen
this new box set which contains all demos, outtakes and alt
versions from that album, 4 CDs!

And What Have You Done With My Body, God?

I bought this last year and enjoyed it alot, although I
haven't listened to it in a while.. They were one of those
bands that I kicked myself for not being into years ago
though.
I had 'Daft' in my hands a couple days ago but passed it up,
regrettably. How is that? Or, if not that, which one should
I buy? I seem to remember Grinning_Belch and others having
very mixed feelings on their output, primarily because what
'their' means changed over the years.

are the odds

I can imagine that it sounds "silly/kitch" today (their
later pop-hits are silly to me) ..but 50% of their first
album is still good in my ears.. the track "who's afraid"
was what I heard in germany, heh, almost the weirdest track
of the album, and I got into it right away, hm.. I must have
been a weird kid :p

ok, enough nostalgy.. what are they doing now? I only know
(or think I know) that one of them are female, and she made
most of the tracks (I'm too lazy to look it up)

silly kitch? compared to contemporary (electronic) music?
are you serious?

I was serious, but,... arhh, I don't know how to explain
it... It does'nt sound "new", and the production/composing
are not like today, so I would understand if some "newschool
fan" said that it sounds stupid and old (which it is,
ofcourse.. old, not stupid, hehe)
