Seduction is the debut studio album by English gothic rock band the Danse Society. It was released in September 1982 on the band's own record label, Society. It includes a song inspired by the David Lynch film Eraserhead.

Release

Seduction reached No. 3 in the UK Indie Chart.[1]

In 2001, Cherry Red Records reissued a remastered, expanded edition of the album, Seduction: The Society Collection, as part of its Anagram Goth series. It included the original six-track album plus eight additional tracks taken from their early independent singles.

Critical reception

Trouser Press panned the album, calling it a "longwinded six-track 12-inch with busy Bauhaus-strength mud supporting sporadic vocals and gimmicky sound effects. Tuneless and tedious".[2]
