Contents Under Notice is the debut studio album of experimental ensemble Rhythm & Noise, released in 1984 by Ralph Records.
Release and reception
Retrospective critical reception of Contents Under Notice has been mixed. Ted Mill of allmusic described the release as a "mixture of wobbly synth beds, industrial noise, scattershot drum machines, eerie whines, and treated vocal samples." He gave it two and a half out of five stars, criticizing it for being too lengthy for its concept. However, Trouser Press offered a more enthusiastic review. Ira Robbins wrote that "in its raucous, multi-layered complexity, the piece asymptotically approaches sheer white noise din" and that "maybe this is what Martians with insomnia listen to."
The album has never been issued on CD.
