Before they made videos,
By John Silveria - Published on Amazon.com
The formula for Duran Duran's first album was simple, blend the synthesizer wash of Berlin-era Bowie and the art leanings of Japan with the four-on-the-floor rhythm of Disco and the groove of Chic. Though it contains two obvious "pop" songs, "Girls On Film" and "Planet Earth", most of the album is atmospheric and dark. On tracks like "Night Boat" and "Friends of Mine" Duran Duran's beginnings as an "art school band" are still present.This remastered version uses the album track listing (and artwork) from the original release in 1981. Gone is the song "Is There Something I Should Know". Originally released only as a single it was inserted on the album when it was re-released in 1983 to capitalise on the American success the band had finally achieved. In it's place is "To The Shore" a song similar in style to "The Chauffeur" from RIO, and a much better fit for the albums overall atmosphere. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Duran Duran's Debut Is Like The Sound Of Thunder,
By Patrick N. J. McCaffery "myspace.com/vadervader" - Published on Amazon.com
This is a brilliant debut recording from the best band of the 1980s. Also, it is about time that "To The Shore" is back where it belongs. Anyway, there is not a mediocre song on this CD; though I will admit that my favourite songs on this are not the 3 singles ("Planet Earth", "Careless Memories", "Girls On Film") but songs like "Night Boat" and "Sound Of Thunder". As a matter of fact, the latter track was a song Simon wrote when he was first accepted into Duran Duran. I just wish that they put videos on this CD like they did for the "Rio" CD.

Her Name Is............,
By pogo - Published on Amazon.com
Great music that makes you want to dance. This is the album that started it all and brought Duran Duran to the forefront in the 80's. A CD that is timeless, with music that has stood the test of time, even though many in this genre have long been forgotten.
