Description

Where do I begin to describe what it was like to discover Duran Duran, their music, the way they looked, their attitude, and the effect that they had (and continue to have) on me and my generation? Even seeing their album covers for the first time-they just looked so sophisticated and glamorous to me as a kid. Thankfully, the music here is equally exciting. Killer singles like Planet Earth and Girls on Film mingle with great ablum tracks like Is There Anyone Out There?, Sound of Thunder, and Friends of Mine, which could all have been singles in their own right. The fabulously pretentious Tomore… the Shore has also now been reinstated on the CD version. Unlike the pop groups of today-a bland 1950's regression, who seem to live in a vacuum, can't write their own songs, repeatedly sample and cover other people's tunes, and are told what to wear by so many stylists-Duran Duran were an intelligent, talented, multi-layered package that also provoked thought. They didn't just make great music-look deeper and follow the signs and you'll discover many more delights of pop culture, like their own musicial influences, art, books, design, photography, fashion and films-check out the references in Friends of Mine for starters. I've heard recently that the original fab 5 are back in the studio, making a new album together. Here's hoping that they can recapture some of the magic that made this and Rio, among others, classic pop albums that still sound so wonderful now.
