In Visible Silence is the second full-length release by avant-garde pop group Art of Noise in April 1986, and the first created by members Anne Dudley, J. J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan in the wake of their departure from the ZTT record label which had been the home of the group's genesis.
The first single, "Legs", was followed by two major hits on the UK chart in 1986: "Peter Gunn", that featured guitar legend Duane Eddy; and "Paranoimia" with television personality Max Headroom, where actor Matt Frewer performed two different monologues for each of the 7" and 12" versions.
"Legacy", a follow up single, was taken from a special limited edition bonus album, "Re-works of Art of Noise". A live version of the album was recorded in Hammersmith, London and released on VHS and 12-inch CD Video in 1987.

The original UK CD edition added the 6:01 Extended Version of Peter Gunn as a bonus track; the first and second US CD editions did not include it and the revised second edition replaced the original version of "Paranoimia" with the Extended Version featuring Max Headroom. Later 1988 UK & European reissues featured The Twang Mix of "Peter Gunn" replacing the Extended Version as a bonus track.
