"You are falling deeper into the colour of a dream"

Released today on all digital platforms - the lost, 1999 eight-track single, 'The Art of Noise Dreaming'

All tracks now remastered from the original tapes, Colour Red was previously only available on a 12" white label promo, Colour Maroon has never been available internationally, and Colour White is previously unreleased.

How did all this all come about? Back in 1998, Dreaming In Colour was remixed by Brothers In Rhythm, first as the 10-minute Colour Red, then as the more operatic Colour Maroon. Their interpretations were then re-re-remixed by the Art of Noise themselves. First, as Colour Silver which is to Colour Red - as you will hear - as Love Beat is to Moments in Love.

Dudley/Morley/Horn/Creme knew that Colour Maroon could very well be the next Art of Noise release so, green for go, created a first Single Edit: Colour Green. But that idea was parked, although Red and Silver appeared on a 12" white label promo, and the other colours were scattered as bonus tracks on special editions of The Seduction of Claude Debussy. An Influential Edit of Colour Silver was prepared for the now-deleted The Art of Noise Influence compilation though later actually appeared on the equally now-deleted master release Volume One.

The Dreaming single release may have been put on pause from 1999 until today, but the Art of Noise knew that Colour Green still had potential and that - via Brothers in Rhythm and back again - Dreaming in Colour had morphed into a completely new track. But that's another story, for another time. For now:
