===Interim (compilations, failed reformations and solo work)=== Although Dudley and Jeczalik had already dissolved the group, in 1990 they assisted in the promotion of the lightly remixed compilation ''The Ambient Collection'', which the China label released to cash in on the burgeoning [[ambient house]] scene. Jeczalik approved the remixes that appeared on ''The FON Mixes'' the following year. The rest of the decade saw China Records releasing further Art of Noise compilations: ''The Drum and Bass Collection'', ''Art Works'', and reissues of ''Best of'' without the ZTT-era tracks. Some of these featured new remixes by other artists. According to an interview with J.J. Jeczalik reported in the ZTT fanzine [https://web.archive.org/web/20151017013404/http://www.ianpeel.com/features ''Outside World''] in 1991, Jeczalik, Dudley and Langan were inspired by the commercial success of ''The FON Mixes'' and had discussed reuniting the group as a trio again. In preparation to record a new album, Jeczalik and Langan travelled to Cuba to gather new source material. However, no new recordings were produced with the new line-up, and the Art of Noise remained defunct. Dudley became well known for composing numerous film and television scores during the 1990s. The most famous of these is probably ''[[The Full Monty]]'', which won an [[Academy Award for Original Music Score]]. She also collaborated with [[Killing Joke]]'s [[Jaz Coleman]] on the 1990 album ''Songs from the Victorious City''<ref name="Larkin"/> (inspired by a trip the two made to Egypt) and produced two tracks for the 1993 Deborah Harry album ''[[Debravation]]'' ("Strike Me Pink", which she also co-wrote and played keyboards on, and "Mood Ring"). She has scored orchestrations for dozens of pop releases over the years, and both scored and produced the album ''Voice'' for her neighbour [[Alison Moyet]]. [[Cathy Dennis]] added lyrics to one of Dudley's compositions and recorded it as "[[Too Many Walls]]", which became a US Top 10 hit in 1991. In 1995β1997, Jeczalik and ''In No Sense? Nonsense!'' coengineer [[Bob Kraushaar]] produced a number of instrumentals oriented toward dance clubs under the name Art of Silence, issuing an album titled ''artofsilence.co.uk''. Jeczalik also embarked on a new career in trading in [[futures contract]]s. The Art of Noise also received a full writing credit for [[The Prodigy]]'s "[[Firestarter (The Prodigy song)|Firestarter]]", which samples the female "hey, hey" voice from "[[Close to the Edit]]". The Prodigy also contributed the remix "Instruments of Darkness (All of Us are One People)" to the 1991 compilation ''The FON Mixes''. Also, an edited version of "Close to the Edit" is featured on the monthly educational [[Amiga]] game ''Ready Robot Club''. The Art of Noise are also credited for the music to the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] series ''[[The Krypton Factor]]''.
