There were many challenges with a reissue project that I recently worked on: a deluxe 2CD reboot of Art Of Noise’s third album, In No Sense? Nonsense!. Originally released in 1987, it met with mixed reviews, but has matured with time and by the 2010s, AllMusic had it down as “about as rich and complex as they ever got”.
Would the group members approve? Was there any unreleased material? If so, where were the tapes, and what state were they in? All these issues were overcome, and a 2CD set was duly compiled. I added 7” mixes after the main album on Disc One, and Disc Two was split in half: demos and outtakes first, then a collection of 12” mixes.
