                     All-Music Guide Biography

 This British techno-pop group features Anne Dudley, Gary Lanagan, and
 J. J. Jeczoli. ~ Bil Carpenter

 Anne Dudley, Gary Lanagan, and J. J. Jeczalik were members of
 producer Trevor Horn's in-house studio band in the early 80s before
 they formed Art of Noise, a techno-pop group whose music was an
 amalgam of studio gimmickry, tape splicing, and synthesized beats.
 After earning a cult following in the latter half of the 80s (as well
 as scoring two Top 40 hits) the Art of Noise broke up in 1990. ~
