After the split, Dudley, Jeczalik, and Langan moved to the UK-based [[China Records]] label, taking the Art of Noise name with them.<ref name="Larkin"/> Some of the band's original imagery and ethos was retained for their second album, ''[[In Visible Silence]]''. This album spawned the [[Grammy Award]]-winning cover of the ''[[Peter Gunn (song)|Peter Gunn]]'' theme, recorded with [[Duane Eddy]], who had a hit with ''Peter Gunn'' in 1959.<ref name="Larkin"/> The Art of Noise collaboration reached number two on the Billboard dance charts.<ref>{{cite book |title= Hot Dance/Disco: 1974–2003|last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=24}}</ref> The ''Peter Gunn'' video featured comedian [[Rik Mayall]] in a parody of the [[private investigator|private eye]] [[film genre]]. The piece would later be used as the theme music for the 2008 BBC TV series ''[[Bill Oddie]]'s Wild Side''.

From the same album, the "Beat Box"-like single "Legs" (using the same drum sounds) was a mild underground hit in dance clubs. In 1986, the album track "[[Paranoimia]]" achieved some success when a remix of it was released as a single with overdubbed vocal samples provided by [[Matt Frewer]] as the supposedly computer-generated character [[Max Headroom (Character)|Max Headroom]].<ref name="Larkin"/> Frewer also appeared as Max Headroom in the music video for the track.

Around 1986, Jeczalik and Dudley started appearing in photographs without masks, alienating some fans that had come to appreciate Morley's "art for art's sake" aesthetic.{{fact|date=May 2023}} The upcoming soundtrack pieces continued The Art of Noise's evolution into a pop band and away from Morley's faceless "non-group."
