Art of Noise - Close (To The Edit) version 1 (AI upscale)

Directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński, 1984. The video won MTV Music Video Awards for Most Experimental Video and Best Editing in 1985. The cast of this video later appeared together once more in the video for the Art of Noise track “Dragnet,“ also directed by Rybczynski. My upscale of that video is hosted on the official AoN channel: The girl “was possibly the daughter of a friend of the video’s director, named Sylwia.“ Despite some effort to find her, no one has come forward to confirm or deny this, and she’s not credited in IMDB or anywhere official. The men in the video are not members of the band. The distinctive “Hey!“ that reappears as a sample in tracks by the Prodigy and others was not performed by a member of the band. The voice belongs to Camilla Pilkington-Smyth, a student of band member JJ Jecsalik’s girlfriend. Other spoken word in the track is provided by Karen Clayton, g
