| The Art of Noise’. (Dudley and Trevor Horn, her main collaborator, may well have known first-hand from Vorhaus whence the sample came; in any case, the final moments of their 1984 hit single ‘Close (to the Edit)’ wittily close the loop, mixing ORCH5 back into a congeries of sampled orchestral blasts from Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.)

Back then the Fairlight was probably worth over $100,000 or more. It was taking up a lot of space, but it had a few sounds in it, one being this sort of explosion sound, which we used in the break, and the orchestra, the infamous orchestra.'
