Review

Spin (9/99, p.195) - 6 out of 10 - "...brings things mildly up-to-date by sneaking in some tasteful jungle beats close to the edits....they've recorded an unapologetically pretentious concept album about a pioneering classical composer..."
Entertainment Weekly (7/9/99, p.79) - "...savor the dance-driven charms..." - Rating: B-
Q (7/99, p.104) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...The filmic instrumental sketches are...beautifully executed....the oddly insidious whole emerges greater than the sum of its parts."
Alternative Press (8/99, p.69) - 4 (out of 5) - "...stunningly beautiful concept piece that's both ambitious and forward-looking..."
CMJ (5/3/99, p.27) - "...Witty, flamboyant and playfully out-of-step with 1999 electronica, THE SEDUCTION OF CLAUDE DEBUSSY spans the timeline of 20th century modernism..."

This stands as a fitting tribute to one of the leading classical composers of the 20th century, Claude Debussy. The Art Of Noise astound with a rich array of sounds, colours and speech suitable for widescreen. There is a huge variety of musical styles here, held together often by short snatches of reflection on the French composer's life. The overall impression is a picture as blue as the cover.

The whole work is loosely based on a sarabande from Debussy's piano suite "Pour Le Piano," a versatile theme that works remarkably well when set to a flitting drum-and-bass beat, or as breakdown material. There are clips of Debussy's songs, orchestral music and instrumental pieces ("Syrinx" among them), all woven into the texture. Moods range from the serenely chilled-out opening to the more aggressive punchiness of the rap-based "Metaphor On The Floor." An extraordinary piece of music, then, and one which both demands and rewards repeated listening. In its own form of impressionism, it will uplift and inspire even the most doubtful cynic.
