Duran Duran (Limited Edition) [Remastered] - Duran Duran

Duran Duran Astronaut

Advantages: Excellent price for CD and DVD package
Disadvantages: DVD could have lasted a bit longer

As I have been reviewing some of Duran Durans albums on here I thought I should tell all of you about this one. Astronaut is the bands newest release from last year that have now had a few hits from. You may remember that Reach up for the Sunrise made it to the top ten with a good beat and everybody waving their arms into the sky "Reach up for the sunrise". Some of the other hits include "taste the Summer" which recently a Supermarket chain aquired as it was a catchy tune to list their products to ! This album proves that Duran Duran are still as good today as they were back in the early 80's. If you do not remember their music that well from the 80's it was roughly the same time that Spandau Ballet were around and in some ways the songs were slightly similar but Duran Duran had a faster pace to them, also Soft Cell started out ...

Review of Astronaut (+DVD/Limited Edition) - Duran Duran

Dancing On The Valentine

Advantages: Duran duran at their best
Disadvantages: None

feel, yet still providing solid drum and bass rhythm, and catchy choruses, with vocal harmonies from Simon, John and Andy which had previously seen them likened to The Beatles. The album also saw them depart from producer Colin Thurston, and enlist the help of Ian Little and Alex Sadkin to produce this album. Andy Hamilton, who played saxophone on 'Rio' also appears again on this album. The album was remastered and re-released in 2003, however it is not a limited edition as stated above in the title here, it is simply remastered. The tracks :- 1. THE REFLEX - this the opening track was released as a single and shot straight to the top of the charts, giving the band their second number one single. The single version which was released, however, is different to the album version, as it was remixed by Nile Rodgers, and contains the memorable ...

Review of Seven And The Ragged Tiger (Limited Edition) [Remastered] - Duran Duran

Duran to the shop for this one?

Advantages: Great uplifting album
Disadvantages: bit behind times

In their decadent heyday, the pretty boys of Duran Duran were the crown princes of a fledgling MTV, but drugs, hubris and a few dodgy albums reduced this supergroup to has-beens. Now, twenty-one years since the original Fab Five's last studio album together, the band's classic lineup has returned. The bleach jobs and posturing remain, but the band has thankfully ditched the "Wild Boys" pomp rock that was its undoing. Instead, Astronaut revitalizes Duran's early synth-pop magic. The lush, moody tones of "Point of No Return" and uplifting charm of "Finest Hour" recall the seductive sounds of Rio and remind us that Duran always had a knack for radiant melodies. On "Sunrise," the catchy first single, only Simon LeBon and Co.'s sneering harmonies could turn unabashedly ridiculous lyrics such as "Put your hands into the big sky. . . ./Feel ...
