Album Notes
Duran Duran: Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor.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-colored art-school antics of Bowie and Roxy Music. Duran Duran and their peers updated that sound for a new decade, adopting punk's DIY 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, becoming simultaneously less dance-oriented and less arty. The 1981 debut, however, is full of thumping, club-friendly beats and long, atmospheric tunes full of extended synthesizer-centered 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.

This album was originally released in 1981 and was the debut from the new romantic, soon to be teen idols Duran Duran. It reached No.3 in the UK album chart and produced three singles, Planet Earth, Girls on film and Careless memories.
The band are still around (although now down to four members) and are working on a new album, but it all started here.

this is one my all time favourites, i remember my brother having it years ago and i have never forgot thats why i had to get me the cd, the 1980s was one of the best years in music in my eyes now im showing my age, but recommend to anyone who likes that type of music you wont be disapointed.
