DVD Reviews of Into Vision
DVD Review: Far From Perfection, But Still Worth The Trip...
Summary: 3 Stars
While I'm a casual Art of Noise fan, I enjoyed this DVD immensely. Since I first saw the video for "Close To the Edit" in the 80s, I have owned various incarnations of AoN's work and have always been fascinated with their work. I must admit, my expectations for the visual aspect of "Into Vision" was high and not really met, but the music on this like most of AoN work is compelling. The operatic vocals during the "Debussy" songs really make a unique contrast with the more modern, danceable aspects of the Noise sound.
Granted, the video work is a bit scattered, but the integration of amateurish shooting and professional camera work makes for a unique experience. The playing is also superb and the antics of Paul Morley seem to balance out the sedateness of the other members. Contrary to one reviewer hear, Trevor Horn, Lol Creme and Anne Dudley seem to be having fun in spite of their seeming introvertedness.

As the spotlight reviewer said, this is a strange, silly concoction of clips spliced together to form, not art, but garbage.
I regret I bought it.
DVD Review: a strange release by a strange band
Summary: 2 Stars
Yeah, concert DVDs can get kind of repetitive, so I applaud the Art of Noise for doing something a little different. But I have beef with the way this was put together. Let me count the ways:
1. Lots of concert DVDs use footage from multiple shows, but NOT DURING A SINGLE SONG! Watching this, you will notice that they literally switch from one concert to another, from black to white, from night to day, and from indoor to outdoor, shot by shot. I assume the audio from each song wasn't similarly mixed, meaning that the visual footage is being randomly assigned to one performance of the song. In essence, that turns this into a live music video rather than a performance. And speaking of music videos,
2. They keep working in odd and ungainly video footage into the visual mix, often cutting away from the band entirely for long periods. While this has worked in other DVDs I have seen (DJ Shadow's "In Tune and On Time" DVD, for example), here it's jarring and unsettling and due to the painfully repetitive flashing images should probably not be viewed by epileptics or small children. Most unforgivably, the band is not shown at all for the whole of "Beat Box," which is one of the few songs that probably got the crowd on its feet (not that we'll ever know). Speaking of the crowd,
3. This isn't exactly a hopping party. The crowd mostly just stands there, and while Paul Morley tries to at least acknowledge the presence of an audience by mostly hopping up and down and talking at length about Debussy, this fails to energize the masses. The whole effort seems a little drab when caught on video. While it's entirely understandable that the filmmakers don't focus on the crowd (all too many concert DVDs dwell on the band's screaming admirers in their search for relevance), it's a SHOW for goodness sake. And it's the Art of Noise to boot. It should be, if nothing else, interesting.
4. Musically, the band is very good, but "The Seduction of Claude Debussy" (the source album for most of AON's reunion tour) is a thick, layered, sonically complex record, and the live performances can't quite capture its swirling beauty.
5. The bonus footage is cool but rather short.
All in all, this is a DVD that hard-core AON fans will cherish and that will probably leave everyone else a little cold.
DVD Review: Don't bother !
Summary: 1 Stars
The Art Of Noise gets back together for a reunion.
Bad photography and editing.
Don't bother
