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)

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

"A Time For Fear (JJ’s 12” Remix)" sounds SO MUCH like early 90s Coil it's uncanny.

The Beaten version of Moments in Love is easily the most 'what is the name of this track' track I play out. A fantastic version of an already great track.

Sublime music. Who doesn’t love Moments in Love? It’s a pretty purple record and sounds really good too

Moments In Love has been around since 1982. The opening part of the song was used on the UK's Channel 4 rolling promo video in late 1982 leading up to the launch in November 2nd.

claims to be Dolby encoded (presumably Dolby B) but i'm honestly not sure. my copy sounds extremely muffled with Dolby turned on.

with Dolby B turned off, it doesn't have that characteristic overcompressed, treble-boosted sound you normally get from an unprocessed Dolby B cassette.

my deck is able to properly decode other Dolby B cassettes, so i don't suspect it's the culprit here. maybe my copy is just out of whack.

Agreed with DogWater, why this wasn't released in its full glory on AWHYDWMB,G can't be anything but a curator's missed opportunity. The transition here between the last M in L segments is unparalleled. A minor and perhaps only a thing for us w the cassette to notice/care about, but the cassette version remains the ultimate rendition of what is Moments In Love.
