"The NOISE was realised by The Art Of NOISE. Trevor Horn heard it and sang "It's not unusual." Paul Morley felt it and knew that "life does not live". "Electronic equipment was used for the construction of the NOISE: Anne Dudley, Trevor Horn, J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan appeared to handle this equipment. Zang Tuum Tumb Records conducted. Oh, oh, oh it's magic" "Who's Afraid Of The Noise is dedicated to Henry Ford and of course Edward Albee - and their American Dreams." "This has been number 34 in Zang Tuum Tumb's Incomplete Incidental Series. (In its American sleeve it is number 16: careful does it)"…it is the traditional task of the prophet to denounce systems of rule and life which deny the freedom of the flesh and imagination."
