===The reunion and ''The Seduction of Claude Debussy'' (1998–2000)===
In 1998, Horn, Morley, and Dudley began talking about the original intent of the project, its relevance in 20th-century music, and the impending turn of a new century. The group temporarily reformed, adding guitarist [[Lol Creme]], but without J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan.  Their engineering, programming and production tasks were carried out by dance act [[Way Out West (duo)|Way Out West]]. An album was recorded – ''Balance – Music for the Eye'' – but was never released, although several tracks from this project were included on the 2010 retrospective album ''Influence''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ztt.com/news/the_art_of_noise_will_return.html |title=ZTT website: The Art of Noise will return |publisher=Ztt.com |access-date=23 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610013707/http://www.ztt.com/news/the_art_of_noise_will_return.html |archive-date=10 June 2011 }}</ref> and the whole album was released as part of ''At the End of the Century'' box set.<ref name="facebook.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/zttrecords/photos/a.256513631054699.58633.248018738570855/812550565451000/?type=1&theater |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/248018738570855/812550565451000 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Coming up on 2nd February: 2 new deluxe... – ZTT Records (Official) – Facebook|via=[[Facebook]] }}{{cbignore}}</ref> Instead, a new single called "Dream On" – which featured remixed versions of the forthcoming album track "Dreaming in Colour" – was released to club DJs later in 1998, showcasing mixes by Way Out West.

A second single, "Metaforce", featuring a [[rap music|rap]] by [[Rakim]], preceded the 1999 release of the concept album ''[[The Seduction of Claude Debussy]]'', a cohesive [[concept album]] depicting the life and works of [[Claude Debussy]], on the ZTT label.

This album later formed the basis of a 17-minute soundtrack for London's Millennium fireworks celebrations on the banks of the River Thames. The firework display was synchronised to an edit of "Seduction" which also featured a collage of samples from some of Britain's most famous pop and rock songs, plus classical composers. It was broadcast live on 95.8 Capital FM and BBC London 94.9. Trevor Horn worked on the project with [[Jill Sinclair]], [[Bob Geldof]], [[Capital Radio]] executive Clive Dickens and producer Ross Ford.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}

After performing a handful of live shows in the UK and US, the band dissolved. A DVD (''Into Vision'') and CD (''Reconstructed'') were released in 2002 and 2003 respectively, featuring music recorded and filmed in Chicago, at the Coachella Festival (10 September 1999), at the Shepherd's Bush Empire (22 March 2000) and Fountain Studios, Wembley, London (1 June 2000).
