Art of Noise: Beat Box (Diversion One)

Track of the Week - 21 April 2024

All the time we've lived at Tea at Johnny's Towers we've had a box hedge at the front of the house. Last year, for the first time, it was attacked by the box caterpillar.

We cut a couple of bits out and the rest seemed to survive but this year the caterpillar was back with a vengeance. The whole hedge has got to go. I started on that job this week but as the green recycling bin is now filled with hedge the rest will have to wait.

So, does that mean we've beaten the box caterpillar by getting rid of the hedge or has the box caterpillar beaten us by making us get rid of the hedge? I don't know.

And there are no clues in Beat Box by avant-garde synth-pop combo Art of Noise either. A 1983 single this instrumental, experimental piece can be seen as fun, clever, annoying or possibly all three at times. Lovely bit of piano at the end if you get that far. And yes, it pretty much was the theme of The Krypton Factor for a while.
