DURAN DURAN 1982 Rio Album Remastered E CD Includes 3 Videos BRAND NEW In Rare Digipak

Limited edition, digitally remastered CD of the 1982 Rio album in a special gatefold, mini-LP sleeve.

Stunning, enhanced picture CD which includes 3 videos for your PC, also, a memorabilia section with comprehensive Rio discography, loads of Duran pics and lyrics for every song on the Rio album + a weblink to the official Duran Duran website and not forgetting, you get the classic, re-mastered Rio album as well!

The CD comes in a thick, hard card digipak with unique printed inner card sleeve, the cover artwork duplicates that of the original 1983 release, comes complete with lyric/picture booklet, grab this while you can, it's getting very hard to find on this format. track listing is detailed below.

For the most part, Rio is an eerie and sumptuous record. With their raspy, arpeggio 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-oriented 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 synthpop.

The artistic progression from the band's self-titled debut to the following year's RIO was the greatest aesthetic leap of Duran Duran's career. The group moved from catchy but somewhat rudimentary New Romantic synth-funk to elegantly arranged, sophisticated pop-rock, concentrating more on song structure than dance beats. For their efforts, they were rewarded with superstar status, due chiefly to "Hungry Like the Wolf", a lascivious tune that injects a welcome dose of rock & roll guitar. The most impressive tracks on RIO, though, are the more contemplative, balladic offerings, like "Lonely in Your Nightmare", "Save a Prayer", and especially "The Chauffer", with its stream-of-consciousness lyrics and unconventional structure, arty without seeming pretentious. If you onlyhave one Duran Duran album, it should be RIO.
