Disco de Duran Duran: “Astronaut [Slipcase]”

Descripción (en inglés) :

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. <p>Duran Duran: Simon LeBon (vocals); Andy Taylor (guitar); Nick Rhodes (keyboards); John Taylor (bass guitar); Roger Taylor (drums). <p>As the premier ambassadors of the image-conscious, party-loving British New Romantic set in the early 1980s, Duran Duran duly conquered the pop world, with millions of teenage girls in their hook-filled thrall. After three albums, however, the original lineup splintered, and the band's profile began to fade. Two decades down the line, all five members of DD's vintage lineup finally reunited for ASTRONAUT. <p>Unlike the group's more "mature" '90s offerings, 2004's ASTRONAUT eschews "adult alternative" trappings in favor of a return to their earlier bold, fun-loving sound, a move that couldn't have been better timed, considering the concurrent '80s-revival craze. Accordingly, Nick Rhodes's synthesizers buzz and zoom with reckless abandon, providing bright color and underlining the dance-rock beat. Guitarist Andy Taylor largely tones down the frantic fretboard exercises of his post-Duran days, opting for a chunkier, riff-oriented approach reminiscent of the glory days, and Simon LeBon comes off as every inch the rock star, his swagger, insouciance, and signature vocal style utterly undiminished by time. ASTRONAUT appeared on the horizon as an alert to '80s-worshipping young bands that the men who wrote the book were back in action.

G'day World,

I have just listen to "what I think" is one of the best CD I have heard in along time, Duran Duran "Astronaut" The DUAL DISC version in 5:1 DOLBY Surround sound.

I have have Box set (CD and DVD) But this new version "5:1 DOLBY" is the best way to listen to this Album.

The Boys and the producer have put a lot of time into the mixing of this DUAL DISC. If you have the CD already """""GO out and BUY THIS VERSION """""""NOW""""""""

This is why.

(Reach Up for The) Sunrise.

What away to open a CD. The separation of all the instruments to each speaker and Simon's vocals sitting well balanced in the mix is just fantastic. With the sound effects running "and I do mean running" around the room. WOOOOOOHHHHH ...... Like I said before what a way to start a CD.

What Happens Tomorrow. Why didn't this make it in to the Top 10 in Australia?????? Why didn't Sony release it here in Australia, is what I should be asking.

If you want to test your BASS Speaker this is one of the songs to start with, or may be "Astronaut" or

Bedroom Toys. All I'm saying is that it one Hell of a Excellent CD.

The Sound is bright and very clean. with Simon's VERY distinctive voices KICKING the whole experience up a notch.

As this technology is still very new, this DUAL DISC is a wonderful way to start. Every song has it's own Chapter/Track picture and its in keeping with the CD theme. However these pictures are not of Duran Duran but Abstract pictures that were done buy there Graphic artist, any one of these pictures could be hanging on one of the boys walls at

home.

There is 22 min of video footage also on the disc as well. "I wont go into that", I have to leave something for a surprise.

If you are thinking of buying or if you have got a DVD player and Surround Sound amp, Pay the money and Buy a copy .
