Notes

Although the original 10-minute version appeared on both the Into Battle release in 1983 and the Who's Afraid album in 1984, "Moments In Love" wasn't released globally as a commercial single until 1985, when the song was featured on the Pumping Iron II: The Women soundtrack.

Reissues followed in 1986 and 1987, in some markets. Copyright dates indicate the edits & remixes were prepared in 1984.

Singles generally featured shortened edits of the album version. The 12-inch remixes were "Moments In Love (Beaten)" and the slower "Love Beat".

On the Daft compilation, the former was retitled "Love", and an edit of the latter was called "(Three Fingers Of) Love". 12-inch and CD singles also included an edit of "Beat Box (Diversion One)", listed on the releases either as "Beatbox Diversion 10" or just "Beat Box". In the US, "Moments In Love" was later paired with "Close (To The Edit)" as a double-A-sided reissue, accounted for separately in Discogs.

The 1999/2000 remixes were triggered by Rob Searle's bootleg mix "Moments In Time" and would eventually end in a cancelled release under the 'Vision' moniker. These can be found here: Moments In Love (Rob Searle's Anthem Mix)

      The Tortoise is still undefeated >> The Tortoise And The Hare (Featuring Moments In Love Beatbox And LoveBeat). Sadly, the lost opportunity prevail. B2 here is the first two parts of the cassette single, "The Tortoise: Moments In Love followed by (beaten)". Then the lovely LoveBeat does follow, renamed B4 Moments In Love (Hare) but the magic transition has been thwarted here by the intrusive B3 Falling In Love. After B4 the (unnamed) spoken word from the Cassette does follow, named here as B5 Love Is Getting Ready. Instead of the original ensuing Beat Box (Diversion Ten), we get B6 More Than (Moments In Love). Had this been a CD, some programming could be made, but the Cassette single just had to be butchered by non-loving curators stealing the Moment.

      Why on Earth wasn't the perfect and full Cassette version placed on the entire B side (without Love Is Being Stupid Together)? Beatbox could have been omitted if it was deemed too brutal, I guess, but this is practically a criminal curation.
      With due respect to the individual tracks/pieces pieces themselves, but this release has no flow and is too choppy and haphazardly assembled to be fully enjoyed, the B side still being better than the A side. To quote the cassette:

      "The Tortoise Dies"

            Nice packaging and of course the music is sublime. I've loved Moments in Love since I was a kid, and bought the other RSD release a couple of years ago. This is really good - you will hear subtle tweaks on the versions you've heard already, but it's long so nice to sit back and let it wash over you. The pressing is very good and dynamic, with good bass.

                Bigger than Beat Box. In 1985, Moments In Love (in its various mixes) fit the format of both WBLS (an R&B curated channel) and CD 101.9 (smooth jazz) getting airplay on both New York stations.

                        Avant-garde for their time, and pioneers in the art of sampling, Art of Noise conjures a sensual sonic landscape that bathes the listener in rhythmic electronic pulses
