.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: This 2-CD set contains two separate CDs: "The seduction :
: of Claude Debussy" (ZTT130CDX; as a digi pak) and a new :
: CD (ZTT147CD) entitled "Reduction" (recorded in Jan :
: 2000) with denser and darker drum'n'bass style versions :
: of tracks from "Seduction..", as reproduced by Paul :
: Morley and James Banbury. :
: :
: From official press release 19990506: :
: "The long-awaited album, 'The seduction of Claude :
: Debussy', will be released on June 29. A reunion album :
: of sorts, this is the first recording founding members :
: Paul Morley, Tevor Horn, and Anne Dudley have done :
: since 1985, and they are joined by new Art of :
: Noise-maker Lol Creme, best known for his work with :
: 10cc and Godley & Creme. In addition to Rakim, Art of :
: Noise are joined on their adventure by vocalists Sally :
: Bradshaw and Donna Lewis, and the actor John Hurt as :
: the narrator." :
: :
: groove.nl has this doublepack for sale, and a review: :
: "Preening intellectual, stunningly pretentious, daftly :
: enjoyable - yes, it can only be Art Of Noise, high :
: priests of eighties avant-pop-culture returning once :
: more to show off their lush production (Trevor Horn), :
: dazzling arrangements (Anne Dudley) and smart erudition :
: (Paul Morley). And bizarrely enough, you realize that :
: you've missed them. The inspiration for this album is :
: straightforward enough - the works of pioneering :
: modernist composer Claude Debussy (well, duh) - but Art :
: Of Noise's audaciousness in claiming Debussy's swirling :
: music as their own is breathtaking, as is their :
: self-mythologisation and their obtuse theories on :
: modernist culture. :
: Of course it is pretentious, but also wildly ambitious. :
: Debussy is wedded to contemporary beats, with suitably :
: mercurial rapping from the mighty Rakim and tantalizing :
: narration from John Hurt. It is also haunting, :
: beautiful and exciting, and if the album sometimes :
: strains under the archness of its high concept, at :
: least it displays a vision sorely lacking elsewhere in :
: the contemporary musical landscape. Seductive, indeed." :
: :
: Adam Gillitt wrote this about "Reduction":: :
: "'Reduction' is a new EP that is being packaged with :
: 'The seduction of Claude Debussy' in the UK. It :
: contains seven tracks, and a similar feel to :
: 'Seduction.' Many of the themes are similar to :
: counterparts on 'Seduction,' while being radically :
: remixed and restructured. Other parts of 'Reduction' :
: sound like they incorporate parts of songs not used on :
: the full LP, including new rapping by Rakim. [..]" :
: :
: The label are selling the promo of "The Seduction of :
: Claude Debussy" for only ú10, so use your chance while :
: you have it. Also a new DVD, "Into vision", has been :
: released, take a look. :
