Following the multi-instrumental flair of In No Sense? Nonsense!, 1989's Below the Waste showed the Art of Noise almost completely ditching their elliptical art-punk roots for worryingly stylized, low-key ambient compositions that bordered on world mall-music. The now fully emerged fusion of village chants, ground percussion, rumbling guitars, jumpy handclaps, and mostly generic machine sound showed considerable personal growth, but the band seemed unqualified for it. The textures of the album were all wrong, from the puffed-up, intrigue-free cover of the James Bond theme to the Ron Grainer-like dribble of flutey jazz of "Island" and the dated and cringingly fake synth-thunderclaps in "Dilemma." A misfire.

Dean Carlson, All-Music Guide

 

Die ästhetischen Emphasis-Lautsprecher auf dem Cover signalisieren: techni- sche Perfektion in Sachen Klang. Und was klingt da? Art Of Noise à la Kiss und Tom Jones? Wie banal! Statt dessen zelebriert das Duo makellos schöne Unterhaltung mit flirrenden Streichern, die Insel-Stimmung vortäuschen: Das ist ebenso perfekte wie geile Strand-Stimmung. Packend bis zum Finale.
