Paranoimia
UNSOLICITED NOSTALGIA STORY:
Did you know that I had every single Art of Noise album when I was a kid? Paranoimia was always on the radio and I recorded it on cassette. I got sick of it, eventually, but not before 27,000 listens.
The first "movie" my brothers and I made featured AoN soundtrack (ha!). I know the album was "Below the waste" and I think the track was YEBO?
AoN were a perfect blend of quirky, "experimental" stuff to counteract the clinical mood of Kraftwerk.
They were easily found, like Kraftwerk, at record shops, so of course I latched on to them.
They had like...two songs on the NYC radio (Moments in Love... Paranoimia)... but the far superior song (Moments in Love) was only played during "DJ party" night and I recorded it off the radio and fell in love with it. I didn't even know it was Art of Noise.
Moments in Love and a handful of other songs (Camilla?) remain favorites to this day.
I'll stop now.
