Surgeon has been remoulding contemporary techno ever since.]]>
Sounds Like Me project about the album that inspires him the most, Art of Noise's Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise.
"For me it’s a forgotten gem in the history of English electronic music. I fondly remember listening to it again and again... They are more personally important than Kraftwerk or Yellow Magic Orchestra. If Kraftwerk are the calculating robotic face of Teutonic electronic music then surely The Art Of Noise personify the eccentric English gentleman tinkering in his garden shed... The whole package that made it mysterious and exciting."

Paul Lester profiles ZTT in a new piece for The Guardian.
"From its first release, a 12-inch EP titled Into Battle With the Art of Noise, it was evident that ZTT would be as much about Morley's sleeve notes, with their bravura wordplay and allusions to obscure philosophy and literature (the Art of Noise, we were informed on the rear of Into Battle ..., "have an almost hygienic need for complications"), as it would Horn's magnificent bombast as he unleashed the full arsenal of the Sarm studios in west London."
