Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

The first DD album was very good.

I gave up on DD after 7 & The Ragged Tiger. Only just recently have I started listening again.

Just 'Metamatic' cd2 today, thats all

(and human league 'red')

"Red"?

What's that?

Duran Duran today... Rio, Duran Duran, Astonaut and Red Carpet Massacre...

They had a funny five minutes Alex in '81. The vinyl singles from the 'Dare' album had the word 'blue' or 'red' on their sleeves as an indication as to the speed and beat of their new 'dance' music.

Having played 'Secrets' for the first time yesterday, i decided it would have been the brightest red of them all, ie the most synthpop.

Ah... that rings a vague bell.

When I was little I had the 7" singles of Don't You Want Me and Love Action. I seem to recall the sleeves being dark red and dark blue with photos of the band on. I liked those covers.

Did you like "Secrets" then? I think it's a terrific album.

Not too much, but it was a first listen. The best tracks for me were 'All I Ever Wanted' and 'Love Me Madly?', which i think were played on their 'Live At The Dome' dvd. What surprised me most was that 'Secrets' was from '01, and i cant think of any studio album from them since.

You're absolutely right! They;ve been touring the greatest hits and bits & bobs from Secrets for the last six years

Some new stuff is long overdue!!

I seem to remember the album took me a while to get into - not one you love on first play, but a gradual grower.

Ben Harper and The Blind Boys of Alabama - 'Live at The Apollo'.

Yes six years is longer than even Numans five and a half with 'Pure'. New album soon or not, i hope they also release their 'album gigs' on dvd too. Just maybe this recent early albums theme may inspire them to go back to their roots a bit.

(No pun intended Phil )
