More than ten years after the Art of Noise left Trevor Horn's ZTT label to record on their own, original members Anne Dudley and Paul Morley reunited with Horn plus 10cc's Lol Creme to record another LP, organized around the work of French modernist composer Claude Debussy. With a guest list including John Hurt as well as Rakim, the album charts the artistic use of sampled breakbeats -- pioneered by the Art of Noise themselves -- with nods to '80s hip-hop plus their '90s equivalent, drum'n'bass. Though the Art of Noise doesn't sound quite as brash as they did in their '80s prime, The Seduction of Claude Debussy is an interesting showcase of what made the group great. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide

Seduction sums up this double LP best, proving the musical prowess of this innovate, abstract, classicly inspired group. Since the first LP, I have been blown away again and again. They always play like audio theatre, spinning and pulling you through an intrigueing unfolding tale into another beautiful world. Light the candles, open the windows on a stormy summer night and let their surreal audio art rush over you.
