synth sounds and Simon Le Bon's uninflected vocals, the misty ballads "Lonely in Your Nightmare" and "Save a Prayer" can still pull heavily on your heartstrings. With the dance-orientated singles "Rio" and "Hungry Like the Wolf", you lighten up a bit, but the songs are far from airy or whimsical. One anomaly in this release, though, is the inappropriate prominence of John Taylor's bass lines. In every song, it sounds as if he is mixed more in expectation of a solo than as an integral part of the rhythm section. Ignore this technical distraction, however, and you'll enjoy rediscovering this gorgeous body of water-coloured synth pop. --Beth Bessmer Seven & the Ragged Tiger: this is artier than Duran Duran's first two releases. "The Reflex" opens with one of the best bass-fuelled intros ever, remaining more in the dance-pop arena than the rest of the album. Lyrically, the song contains one of the most memorable Duran Duran lines of all time, "Fl-Fl-Fl-Fl-Flex", which is reason enough to buy the whole stable. "Union of the Snake" is a mix of male ritual, slithering synths and big bad beats. Along with their first two albums, Seven & the Ragged Tiger is necessary to effectively complete the early Duran Duran experience. Interesting haircuts remain optional. --Steve Gdula

Advantages: Excellent price for CD and DVD package Disadvantages: DVD could have lasted a bit longer
As I have been reviewing some of DuranDurans 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 DuranDuran 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 DuranDuran had a faster pace to them, also Soft Cell started out ...
Advantages: Duran duran at their best Disadvantages: None
. The audience's on those first two occasions had been mostly male, but after the release of Rio in 1982, this changed completely!
I went to see them for the fourth time when on tour promoting this album, and it was scary! Screaming girls pushing, shoving and fainting, which spolied the experience for me. The band sounded great, but I never went to see them live again after this.
The band :-
Simon Le Bon - vocals
John Taylor - bass
Roger Taylor - drums
Andy Taylor - lead guitar
Nick Rhodes - keyboards
Seven and the RaggedTiger was released in 1983, the third album form the band, and the last one to feature the original line up with Andy Taylor on lead guitar.
DuranDuran carried on over the years that followed , with drummer Roger Taylor also leaving the band. A few years ago the original five members got back together and released an album ...
Advantages: the reflex, mid price cd Disadvantages: none
The reflex flec flec flec flec flex, i lost count of the number of times I heard this song playing on the radio and it goes to show how popular duran were at the time, union of the snake was a little poor but was saved by the video, and riding high on the success of save a prayer and is there something I should know, duran should have known better, still its easy to say in hindsight. I take the dice is wicked, as is when the lights go down, and the superb instrumental TigerTiger shows what rhodes does best. this is a landmark album for the band, there first uk no 1 album, and desrvedly so. ...
