"Moments In Love" a ten-minute, downtempo, instrumental ode to sex that appeared on both Into Battle and Who's Afraid albums - was remixed and released as a single in 1985 (first released in the USA in 1983 where it was a moderate hit on the US R&B Singles chart).
It was played at Madonna's wedding, used in the soundtrack to the movie Pumping Iron II: The Women, used in a number of advertisements, and remixed, covered, and sampled by other artists for years afterward, and has appeared in numerous chill out compilations as well as becoming a staple of smooth jazz radio station playlists.
Art of Noise was an avantgarde synthpop group formed in 1983 by producer Trevor Horn, music journalist Paul Morley, and session musicians/studio hands Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, and Gary Langan. The group's mostly instrumental compositions were novel and often clever melodic sound collages based on digital sampler technology, which was new at the time. Inspired by turn-of-the-century revolutions in music, the Art of Noise was initially packaged as a faceless anti- or non-group, blurring the distinction between the art and its creators. The band is noted for their innovative use of electronics and computers in pop music and particularly for innovative use of sampling. The name of the group alludes to an essay by noted futurist Luigi Russolo.

Farhad2000I remember watching this on MTV at about 4AM, so many years ago. I posted the rarer version because the other more played version is just awfully strange.
