>Recommended purchases:
>'Daft' CD, which is all of 'Whos Afraid' plus extra tracks
>'In Visible Silence', which has the post-ZTT classics
>'In No Sense? Nonsense!', which is bombastically gorgeous, in spite of
>  "Dragnet" and the Fat Boys samples

I was listening to McClaren's Duck Rock just recently and nearly
shat myself when I read the line-up:
Personnel: Malcolm McLaren, David Birch (guitars), Gary Langan (harp), 
Anne Dudley (keyboards), Louis Jordan (percussion), Jonathan Jeczalik
(Fairlight programming). 

I must have not been able to put two and two together back when I 
was a kid but I think this album counts as a lost Art of Noise artifact.

Trevor Horn and Lol Creme were on KCRW a few weeks back flogging
the new album but I can't say I was overly thrilled with what I heard.
The interview may be up on their web site (www.kcrw.org, search the
"morning becomes eclectic" section).
