Art of Silence
NET FILTER
We do enjoy reading all the email messages you send us
Here are some of YOUR comments.....
I must say I had a good old chuckle at the graphic of you holding your own
face... most inventive, and not a tad obscure... (...)
Very philosophical scrolly message, too. Unfortunately the question "When is a
Web not a Web?" induces my brain not only into an infinite loop, but a
paradoxical infinite loop which is in fact much worse, as you might well
imagine.
Best regards,
Nick H.
Love the Web site. I once read an interview with you after the break
up of AON and you said that you were working on an album with Alvin
Lee, ex of Ten Years After. Was it ever released and what was it
called? More pertinently, can I get hold of it?
Goodbye.
Love and hugs,
Raymond A. Koh
"Entropy is the supreme law of nature which governs everything that happens -
and everything we do. Entropy explains why our existing view of the world is
breaking up and what will replace it." - Jeremy Rifkin/Ted Howard.
I think I'm missing something with your site though - whats the guest book
all about - you turning into a
sarniephile or something - I thought you were Mr Live-for-cricket, surely
there's not enough room in anyone's
life for sarnie-loving and cricket, both such interesting subjects (cough
cough).
Anyway, good luck with the album - hope there's a tour to follow.

I saw you (and your cricket bat!) live at Hammersmith Odeon with AON
years and years ago. I thought it was a great show, but it was a *real
shame* that the audience didn't want to get out of their seats until
right near the end of the set. Don't let that happen again!!

Post-prandial slumber knocks at the great door of subconsciousness in my head.
It's not locked. It enters.
Suggestions welcome.
Strange and insensible replies only, please.

Hey J.J.! Glad to see that you are still continuing your pursuit of
"NOISE!" I just wanted to say hey and I'll be one of the first ones
buying that album when it hits the market! Of all things, I first
heard of AoN from Peter Gunn on the radio. I searched and searched
for a name attached to the song and finally got a hold of it.
Needless to say, I've been looking for some new music from you guys in
a long time ...........
I'll close by saying thanks for releasing some new stuff. I'll be
looking forward to hearing it.
Take care....

I just answered a multitude of answers to do with sandwiches and submitted
it only to be told of a server error. Is this some kind of joke? Is there
really no SandwichNet Registration.
The reason I ask these questions is that I am using an Atari ST to view the
ArtofSilence Web pages and these registration thingies often don't work. So
if it is real - add me to the list - otherwise it was a good laugh.

Hello, JJ, remember me? Sarm West 1983, AON foetal sessions, useless boy
cowering in corner under intimidatory gaze of
Mr.Horn et al? Pretending to be a tape hop, but really just nipping off for
a fag and a cuppa?
Thought not.
How are you?
Glad to see you've done so well. Always thought you would.
Um, I really like that Bach thing that Anne did on the last AON record (at
the end). Am I too old?
But your new stuff sounds good.
Oh.
Bye then.
Ben
big ugly tables, eye-straining pastel backgrounds...
but who's complaining.. everything works!
Hi JJ,
call me a sad bastard if you like, but I've just spent half
a morning taking up your anagram challenge. Of course I used a
program to generate the anagrams themselves, but I had to go through
and find the better ones from the zillions generated.Dean
Dear JJ,
Many thanks for your e-mail. So I take it you've uprooted and rerooted
somewhere else...
Your web site... very different ..................... It's great
Best wishes,
Nick Heaps
Had a
good look at your new website; cool, groovy and loud is how it is,
and how it should remain!
Ben
Absolutely brilliant! Nosmo
I just wanted to congratulate you on the spiffy web page. Can you
believe it - I didn't even know about Art of Silence before this!
Equally amazing - the album is being released on September 2, my
birthday! Now I know what I'll be asking for...Bobby Tribble
Hi, We are a couple of guys from Australia that
knew Pappa before he became rather large, we were
wondering if you could give us an Internet address
to contact him on.
Sorry
to be a sniveller, but The Ambient Collection
was simply _the_ album to wake up to at The Big Chill
last summer.
Glad you're back...
Go for 3 filings (at least):
ie:
Ham, Cheese and Pickle
Corned Beef, Onion and Cottage Cheese
I've been quite an avid follower of your art for a long time - and your
web site (of which I heard about on the radio F.Y.I.) is very good
Never leave a sandwich unattended.
Before you know it, its alive
Wow...
the site is a LOT bigger than it was!
Cool....... Eric
You
should be a Network23 site. Dig.
And stop by for a sandwich. If you're ever in Chicago.
We could beat a few bars out of the 2600.
I've
been a tremendous fan of Art of Noise since their beginnings at ZTT, along
with the JJ's Fairlight works in different albums. The only problem is that
quite a bit has been hard to find here in the U.S., although I think I've
finally got nearly everything. Every now and then I look into the AON pages
thinking just maybe I'll read that they've reformed, and now this!!!!
I am extremely pleased and could only beg for a response to this memo!
I heard the sample , a cheap sample of a time+space house cd
I will listen to your record (in the shop) hope it will be better than
that , maybe my expectations have become too high because of your absence
I am really really very very sorry.

I'm sure you probably get letters from fans all the time, but I have
a couple legitimate questions to ask you. :)
I've been a fan of AON ever since a friend introduced me to them (you)
back in '90. I've since bought most every album I can find. I really
enjoy listening to the music a lot. When a friend saw the "Art Of Silence"
cd single of "West 4". Although it's not quite as good (in my opinion) as
some of the Art Of Noise works, it still blows most everything else out
in the music scenes out of the water... (that was a compliment in an odd way)
Could you put a sample on your Art Of Silence web page of you saying
your last name? A friend and I would appreciate it. :)

This
is not a rehearsal.
Nothing is true.
No
it was fate, and some extraordinary timing!
Paahhh!!!
Sounds like I want a free Deck mate!!!
Let
me start by saying your web page is as bizarre as I
have come to expect from anything connected with your name
in the past. Registering with NitNet?
Anyway, glad to see you are back on the scene.

I prefer Sting, but he doesn't have an interactive
web site.. ;-)
Erm, yeah, I want to do a remix.. So I'll grab some
samples, and see what I can come up with...
(Want some ear-muffs?)
What
Fun!!!!!!!
why
oh why oh why did you bother...
Having just had the misfortune to come across your web site, I must express
my utter disappointment at its fundamental lack of usability, it's total
and blatant disregard for the interactive phenomenon which is the world
wide web.
How on earth is one to successfully surf your site, when it comes across as
being produced by ill-informed individuals who enjoy churning out ill
conceived and badly executed yarns of balderdash.
At which point, in your no doubt short-lived Internet career, did you
figure it would be a jolly-jape to inflict such complete and utter
incompetent drivel upon the poor unsuspecting surfing public.
I eagerly await your unintelligible reply.
Yours sincerely
Mr. U. Sless

They told me the had travel back though time, to tell me the I was going to

keeping secrets!!
I hope the album is as good as Art of noise, which
I really enjoyed - getting old eh?
Hi
first of all, great cd, album, thingy...
It's great to drive to, I getting there quicker
but what is it called ?
is it
artofsilence.co.uk by the art of silence
or is it
.co.uk by the art of silence?
Anyway it's great having a DNS (domain named server) address on the
front cover, saves all those net searches!!!
with one ping he was gone...
Phil Chandler
Excellent! Wonderful! Boy-Howdy!
Ripping stuff, I tell you! Zang
No message at the moment , But give me time !
Sorry but I just had to email you.
I've just seen your art of silence web page and congrats - your site is
the worst designed pages I've ever seen and I spend most of my time on
the web. Your gifs don't merge with you background and you use yellow on
blue text, flashing at that and as for the fat bordered tables. Its the
web form of vogon poetry.
Sure I'm cynical but I own most of the Art of Noise albums - excellent
stuff but this is in no way reflects that. Even the good cover art is
reproduced blocky and with no style.
Do you have anything to say in your defence before I notify the style police.Stewart Dean
No scone recipes!
JJ I met you in 1979 and u promised to get me Trevor Horn's autograph,
Where is it you git?????????
You speak of innovation: isn't what you have done by offering original
material for reworking by the consumer exactly what Glenn Gould was making
reference to in the 1960s? Or else John Cage with his "KNOBS" software for
"HPSCHD"?
The innovation is not the idea itself, but in your having the courage (and
technology) to deliver!

Hello from California!
I don't have your album yet, but I'm looking
forward to grabbing it... I really love the 3
AON CD's that I have! Talk to you soon.

HI JJ,
GOT YOUR NEW ALBUM, ONE THING MISSING THOUGH,
LOTS OF SERIES IIX FAIRLIGHT SOUNDS, BUT ON THE
WHOLE, VERY GOOD...SO GOOD I'M RIPPING IT OFF!!
the art of silence is paranoid
IT'S HARD SHAVING YOUR OWN BACK
Jjust
checking in with J.J. Jeczalik, the new album was incredible.
J.J.,
It's really great that you're keeping in touch with your fans over
the net. I'm very impressed with the page, it looks great. I take it
you've become quite an Internet buff recently.
First off, I'd like to say that I, as with many others, have been
following the Art OF Noise path since the ZTT days. Your music has really
changed people's lives, and inspired many of the experimental electronic
musicians of today, including fellow DJs like myself. But this new album
tops it all. I recently picked it up in an import specialty store, and I'd
say "being extremely impressed" would be an understatement. It's an
excellent album, and I hope it does really well. The entire album is
great, but the "Giant" trilogy really got to me. It has an energy and
excitement to it that not many artists have been able to accomplish. I'm
still looking for the "West 4" single, but I'm sure I'll run into it
soon. I noticed lots of Art of Noise collaborators are featured on your
album like Bob K., Nick Froome, Paul Robinson, and others. It's really
neat to see lots of them collaborating with you again. Do you have a tour
planned for the future? Will the album be released in America?
Jon Masciana
Dear jjj,
I wish I had the slightest idea of who you are, and what you are talking
about, but alas I do not.
Yours Sincerely,
Denis Collins
Where am I?
I'm sorry there's no one here to take your call.
If you'd like to leave a beep, then please leave
it after the massage.
Never eat anything bigger than your head
why did you sell your Fairlight....
get it back.....akai sucks bigtime.
howdy doody
if you come across CHRIS NEWMAN on your
adventures..tell him to send me my EII cd-rom
drive...I bought it weeks ago, and still no
sign of it !!! thanks
Where the hell have you been for the last few
years? People look at me gone out when I say
your name!
Hi, I'm thrilled to find this web site, and discover the AOS. Are any AOS
recordings available in the USA yet,or will I need to place a special order
"import" at the record store?
I must say, Mr. J.J., your 64.0 minute long epic, "A Nation Rejects" is
by far my favourite piece of "recreational math", or music. I can't imagine
that there is any other work in existence that is as profound, mind
bogglingly Pleasurable, psychedelic, epic..., (with the possible exception
of "The Strawberry Alarm Clock's" hit, before they sold out;)
If only the original Paranoimia single w/ "A Nation Rejects" was available,
as i prefer this "pure" version a bit over the "Ambient Collection"
version. My cassette version of this work (a"B-side" of all things!!!) has
been noticablly worn down in quality since i got it in 1986, a testament to
all those mind bending high times. Hey, that's 10 years! Golly, how time
flies... (or perceptibly slows down,varies,crashes, or becomes
irrellevant-if you're listening to "A Nation Rejects" -under proper
mind-set and setting.) Anyway thanks in advance for any info on the
availability of the "Art of Silence" recordings in the USA.
Sincerely,
John Morley
So much for the immediacy of e-mail! I have only just got round to viewing
your revised site, listening to Anja (!) and reading the rave reviews. Man.
About time us ".co.uk" boys got together for some genuine beer. How about
Thursday 3.10.96; you choose the venue at a halfway house.
Best regards
Piers
You are wacky
Life is too short for slow turns and light beers!!!
