Art of Noise: At The End of a Century

By Paul Sinclair

ZTT and Salvo Music will early next year issue At The End of a Century a new Art of Noise collection that includes a ‘producer’s cut’ of 1999’s The Seduction of Claude Debussy as well as a completely unreleased album.

This will be a 2CD+DVD set put out under Salvo’s Sound & Vision imprint. The DVD features two complete Art of Noise concerts from 2000. The unreleased album is called Balance For The Eye (full track listing below).

At The End of a Century is out on 2 February 2015. On the same date a repackaged and redesigned double-pack of The Value of Entertainment/Sampled will also be issued following the Japan-only version from earlier this year.
