Finally!, the fifth and final studio album by The Art of Noise and their only studio album never before released on vinyl, sees that fact corrected with an exclusive pressing for Record Store Day 2026 on Translucent Blue 2LP.
The album line-up consisted of Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, Paul Morley and Lol Creme, along with other appearances from John Hurt, soprano Sally Bradshaw, Rakim, and Donna Lewis.
The Seduction of Claude Debussy is the fifth and final studio album by The Art of Noise, released in 1999 and saw the realisation of a long time recurring idea of Trevor Horns’ (as borrowed by the Pet Shop Boys lyric in ‘Left To My Own Devices’) with the blending of music of French impressionist composer Claude Debussy with drum and bass, opera, hip hop, jazz, and narration, to create a concept album described as "the soundtrack to a film that wasn't made about the life of Claude Debussy.
The album is newly mastered by Phil Kinrade at Air Studios using the original production master and includes the Rakim featuring single ‘Metaforce’ and in addition this Exclusive Double Vinyl LP features four era specific bonus tracks.
The bonus tracks originally to be released in July 1998 as a 12" single to promote the album, were previously only released on the Digital EP ‘Born Again!’ and have never been released on a physical format before now.
