Pitchfork: Art of Noise Box Set Due

In celebration of one of the most influential non-bands of all time, ZTT Records has compiled a collection of largely previously unreleased material from their original signees, Art of Noise.

On August 21, the label will release the four-disc box set And What Have You Done with My Body, God?, which, in addition to music music music (56 tracks, 41 unreleased), includes a 36-page booklet and track-by-track commentary from all five Art of Noise members.

The set's first three discs house tracks, remixes, and demos from the group's 1983/1984 recording sessions. On the fourth, listeners will find three Art of Noise EPs, all on CD for the first time ever.

That's a helluva lot of noise.
