Daft (album)

TheInfoList



OR:

''Daft'' is a compilation collecting the Art of Noise LP '' Who's Afraid of the Art Of Noise?'' (with one track, "Snapshot", appearing in a longer version than on the original UK LP, but previously released on the Japanese version), along with portions of the '' Into Battle with the Art of Noise'' EP and "Moments in Love" remix single. It gives a fairly thorough overview of the Trevor Horn period of the group, prior to its split from the ZTT label. The compilation is also notable for its liner notes by Paul Morley (under the pseudonym Otto Flake), attacking the new incarnation of the group. In 2003 the album was re-released on Super Audio CD.
