Product Description

Description
Along with Spandau Ballet, Visage, and others, Duran Duran led the early-'80s charge of the New Romantics, a movement heavily inspired by the fashion-conscious, synth-coloured art-school antics of Bowie and Roxy Music. Duran Duran and their peers updated that sound for a new decade, adopting punk'sDIY attitude and helping to give birth to dance-rock along the way by adding a disco-ish beat.
Subsequent releases would find the band moving more toward straight pop, becomingsimultaneously less dance-oriented and less arty. The 1981 debut, however, is full of thumping, club-friendly beats andlong, atmospheric tunes full of extended synthesizer-centred interludes. The fact that the boys were pop-savvy enough to add irresistible choruses to "Girls on Film", "Careless Memories", and "Planet Earth" doesn't hurt matters.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEGINNING OF AN ERA!!, 2 Sep 2003
This is Duran Duran at the beginning. For all those Duranies out there that never liked Duran until the Rio album, or those Duranies that bought this on LP(!), you just have to have this. The sound is certainly better and it will revive all those teenage memories! I loved Duran (and still do) and with the original five back together, this is a must have. I always loved the first album and now it's a limited edition, what more can I say!!
