In Visible Silence

In Visible Silence is the second studio album by the English avant-garde synth-pop group Art of Noise in April 1986, and the first created by members Anne Dudley, J. J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan in the wake of their departure from ZTT Records that had been the home of the group's genesis.

The first single, "Legs", was released in late 1985, followed by two major hits on the UK Singles Chart in 1986: "Peter Gunn", that featured guitar legend Duane Eddy; and "Paranoimia" with television personality Max Headroom, where actor Matt Frewer performed two different monologues as Headroom for each of the 7" and 12" versions.

"Legacy", a re-worked version of "Legs" released as a single in late 1986, was taken from a special limited edition bonus album, Re-works of Art of Noise. A live version of the album was recorded in Hammersmith, London and released on VHS and 12-inch CD Video in 1987.

All tracks are written by Anne Dudley, Gary Langan, J.J. Jeczalik, apart from tracks 8 and 12 which were written by Henry Mancini.

Some versions of the album released after the success of the single "Paranoimia" supplement the album version with the single version, or include both versions.

The 1988 CD re-release included "The Twang Mix" of the above track in its stead.

A deluxe edition of the album was released on 19 May 2017, featuring a number of bonus tracks which had not been available commercially before.
