On Facebook in The Art Of Noise Online group a video was posted of Art Of Noise performing Absolute by Scritti Politti. This is no coincidence since Gary Langan was the mixing engineer of Absolute and J. J. Jeczalik did the fantastic Fairlight programming. Not only are these guys responsible for this classic track by Scritti, they also worked as a duo on tracks like Owner of a Lonely Heart (Yes). J. J. Jeczalik was a very important Fairlight programmer since 1981 for Kate Bush, ABC (The Look Of Love, Poison Arrow etc), Malcolm McLaren (Buffalo Gals), Frankie Goes To Hollywood (Relax, Two Tribes etc) and many more. Respect!
Do check out the Wikipedia pages of these guys;
