Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The post-Notorious Duran Duran are a slightly odd proposition: neither disappearing down the plughole like Bros or New Kids On The Block, but never quite managing the commercial or critical success of a George Michael. The Wedding Album contains a number of typically Serious Artiste tricks: a collaboration with someone obscure and trendy (Milton Nascimento), a cover of something undeniably classic and credible (the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale") and a slightly embarrassing stab at whatever was the new(ish) movement of the time (the grunge-y "Too Much Information"). However, on the plus side, they do it better than most and the album contains both singles ("Come Undone" and in particular the top five hit "Ordinary World") and album tracks ("Love Voodoo") that, ostentatiously "adult" or not, are on a par with the glory days of "Rio" or "Save A Prayer". --Ronita Dutta
CD Description
Commonly known as "The Wedding Album" to differentiate it from their self-titled 1981 debut, 1993's DURAN DURAN was an unexpected commercial comeback for Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, spawning two hit singles, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone", that were better than anything the band had done in nearly a decade. The rest of the album succeeds in subtly updating the classic Duran Duran sound without straying too far from their '80s chart-pop roots.
The politicised "Too Much Information" and "Sin of the City" (concerning a disaster at a unlicenced New York dance club), are surprisingly aggressive tunes, but elsewhere, "None of the Above"and "Love Voodoo" are more traditional Duran fare. The album's two biggest surprises are the duet with Tropicalia superstar Milton Nasciemento on "Breath After Breath", and the surprisingly reverent take on the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale".
