History YMMV / ArtOfNoise

* EclipsedByTheRemix: The 7" remix of "Paranoimia" with Series/MaxHeadroom on vocals is far better known than the original {{instrumental|s}} version, despite the fact that most releases of ''In Visible Silence'' don't include it (either using the instrumental mix or the 12" version with completely different lyrics).

** Probably the most famous sample is the repeated "hey" in [[Music/TheProdigy "Firestarter"]], for which the entire band received a writing credit.

* BreakupBreakout: Gary Langan has had a successful career as a RecordProducer. Music/AnneDudley has had an ''extremely'' successful career writing soundtracks for films such as Film/AmericanHistoryX and Film/TheCryingGame, as well as scoring orchestral arrangements for bands like Music/{{Rush}} and Music/{{Pulp}}; both things she's arguably better known for than Art of Noise.
** Averted with JJ Jeczalik, who withdrew from the music industry almost totally after about 1997.

* PeripheryDemographic: The band was ''hugely'' influential on the early HipHop scene, something the group had more or less no interaction with or apparent interest in, eventually leading to [[Music/EricBAndRakim Rakim]] appearing as a guest vocalist on ''The Seduction of Claude Debussy''. Modern music analysts even retroactively classify the collective as InstrumentalHipHop" as a result of their music's close proximity to and major influence on the hip-hop scene.

* ReplacementScrappy: A lot of fans neither like nor acknowledge the 1999 iteration of the group (with Lol Creme) as being "really" Art of Noise - in particular the music in places sounds closer to drum and bass, with the addition of spoken word and a unifying concept, and more of an emphasis on orchestral arrangements rather than sampling.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Arguably what was attempted with ''The Seduction of Claude Debussy''. It didn't work.

* SampledUp: '''All the time'''. "Beat Box" in particular has been sampled to death, largely because of how ridiculously influential it proved to be.
