Daft is a compilation collecting the Art of Noise LP Who's Afraid of the Art Of Noise? (with one track, "Snapshot", appearing in a longer version than on the original UK LP, but previously released on the Japanese version), along with portions of the Into Battle with the Art of Noise EP and "Moments in Love" remix single. It gives a fairly thorough overview of the Trevor Horn period of the group, prior to its split from the ZTT label. The compilation is also notable for its amusingly venomous liner notes by Paul Morley (under the pseudonym Otto Flake), attacking the new incarnation of the group. In 2003 the album was re-released on Super Audio CD.

Tracks 1, 3, 6-7, 10-13, and 15-16 Written, Composed, & Sampled by The Art of Noise (Horn, Morley, Jeczalik, Langan, Dudley)

Tracks 2-3, 6-9, and 14-15 from Who's Afraid of the Art Of Noise? LP (with track 14, "Snapshot", appearing here in a longer form).

Tracks 4-5, and 10-13 from Into Battle with the Art of Noise EP.

Tracks 1 & 16 from Moments in Love 12" single.
