I ordered exactly a week ago, I got the email about the custom disc on
Tuesday - same day that "Seduction" was shipped. No sign of either one

The only difference between the two is that the "limited edition"
ztt130cdx comes in a cardboard digi-pack case and ztt130cd comes in a
standard jewel case. The CDs and booklets are identical and bear the
catalogue number ztt130cd.

My copy of the Seduction has arrived, but the Amplified "make-yer-own-CD"
has not. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the "autographed" copy of
the Seduction, as advertised on Tower, was -genuinely- autographed by all
four
members (at least I -think- that's Lol Creme's signature). I had expected
the autographs as merely being part of the printing of a limited edition,
or that
it would be autographed just by Lol or something. Paul Morley autographed
it with quotes, i.e. "Paul Morley" (was it really Paul Morley?). It came
with
both a signed and unsigned booklet. Did the crew write anything goofy on
anyone's signed copies?
Anyway... cool. I called the folks at Amplified, who actually sounded like
real, sentient human beings and not mindless CSR drones, and they said that
my make-your-own-CD had been shipped.
Now if only that, my Gentle People Simply Faboo CD and my David Van Tieghem
These Things Happen DAM CD had arrived as well, then I would have been
genuinely happy. Never before has a three-day weekend seemed like such a
long
time...

Subject: (ztt) custom CD arrived!
I got mine today from Amplified.com, and I must say, it's quite cool.
They didn't use cheap-o packaging; it looks like a commercial CD. It's in a
jewel case, with insert, my custom tracklist is printed on the back inlay
(you can't tell it was custom printed for me), and it sounds great.
It is a CD-R, but even is screened to look like a regular commercial release.
Cool! I'm happy!

P.S. I also got my autographed Seduction CD from Tower; my "Paul Morley" is
in quotes too. That is definitely Anne's real signature; I have a record I
had personally autographed by here (in 1986!) and it looks pretty similar.

Subject: (ztt) Debussy: Favorable review in Consumable
The latest issue of the online music review, Consumable, had this to
say about the new AON album:
REVIEW: Art of Noise, _The Seduction of Claude Debussy_
(ZTT/Universal)
- Jon Steltenpohl
Take a dead composer, a deep voiced narrator, a rapper and a
few opera singers, and what do you have? Well, if you're Art of Noise,
you have _The Seduction of Claude Debussy_. Most of you know Art of
Noise through songs such as "Beat Box" and the Dragnet theme. Yet,
anyone who's gone beyond the singles and dived into the world of an
Art of Noise album has found themselves in a completely new world.
Now, after a 9-year absence, the band has reformed to create a new
soundscape based around their apparent love of the turn of the century
composer Claude Debussy.
These days, anyone with a computer can generate dance tracks
with the blink of an eye, and on the surface, Art of Noise doesn't
sound as remarkable today as they once did. But, technology doesn't
breed musical or artistic talent, and the vision of Art of Noise goes
beyond the simple satellite blips and deep bass of their peers. Their
impeccable judgment allows them to transcend the current vapid
"electronica" sound they helped to create. This is music first and
foremost. The dance beats and atmosphere are simply tools in Art of
Noise's arsenal.
Of course, any description of a band on paper that uses the
word "transcend" seems a bit elitist and abstract right off the bat.
Yet, unlike their counterparts in the world of abstract visual arts,
Art of Noise is high brow music for everyman. Even if you've never
heard of Debussy, you can appreciate the songs. Anyone who's been
drawn in by a song like "Moments in Love" realizes that Art of Noise
can create the beautiful out of the abstract. Consider "Dream in
Colour"
from this album: The track is expansive. It ranges from operatic voices
to dreamy choruses to lush ambient dance to an engaging jungle beat
over the course of 8-and-a-half minutes. The deep sullen voice of John
Hurt narrates you through the songs. "Imagine," the narrator implores
you, "Debussy dreaming in colours." He pulls you in further into the
hypnotic mix and instructs as you fall "deeper into the color of a
dream." As the trance is completed, the narrator snaps his fingers, and
you begin the experience with the next track, "On Being Blue."
At the start of the song, the narrator guides you to consider
how music might be used to suggest colors. The song is a soft ode that
features a beautiful operatic voice, a quiet Spanish guitar, and
shimmering, mournful strings that create an incredibly stark, deep,
and sad atmosphere. It is like diving into a pool of cobalt blue --
which is exactly the song's intent.
Halfway through the album, another voice is added to the
chorus,
the narrator and the opera singers. The voice is none other than the
rapper, Rakim. At first, this seems like a strange pairing, but given
Art of Noise's original classic "Beat Box" and the dance remixes
included
with the re-release of Eric B. and Rakim's _Paid in Full_ album, a song
like "Megaforce" is entirely understandable. Musically, it works
remarkably well. Not only does Rakim have one of the purest voices in
rap, but Art of Noise assembles a beat as well as any DJ. It may not
exactly be the right style for pumping out of a lowrider, but it would
fit right in with US3 or Digable Planets.
All told, despite it's odd collaborations and obscure subject
matter, _The Seduction of Claude Debussy_ is simply a masterwork. Art
of Noise manages to maintain continuity throughout the entire album.
The tracks can be scrutinized note by note or played casually in the
background. It is doubtful if the stodgy world of orchestral music
could appreciate this album, but fans of the Art of Noise can embrace
_The Seduction of Claude Debussy_. However, unless you're into ambient
and electronic music, casual fans who remember the old Art of Noise
hits
are better off picking up their excellent "Best of" collection before
jumping feet first into this new release.

I was quick on www.dotmusic.com to see any news of the SeductionCD -
charts or text. But instead I got myself a rather fantastic surprise.
Highest new entry on the album chart this week is Frankie Goes To Hollywood
with Welcome to the Pleasure Dome. They are number ONE on the indie chart.
