  Duran Duran (1993 album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1993, the band Duran Duran released a second self-titled album -- this Duran Duran album is informally known as The Wedding Album (for Stephen Sprouse's cover art) to distinguish it from the band's debut 1981 release.
The swift commercial and critical success of this album came as a surprise to many who considered Duran Duran to be a purely "eighties" phenomenon who had already faded to oblivion.
In 1994, to commemorate their UK tour, the album was reissued with a second disc of b-sides and remixes.

 Duran Duran (1983 video) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Officially entitled simply Duran Duran (just like Duran Duran's 1981 debut album and their 1993 comeback album), this video compilation is sometimes unofficially referred to in print as the Duran Duran video album or Duran Duran: The First 11 Videos.
In a move that still isn't common today, videos were made during this period (1981-1983) for songs that were never released as singles, capitalising on the strength of the track's overall feel.
This pioneering video album was originally released with stereophonic sound in the original optical disc format, LaserDisc, as well as in the Beta-HiFi and VHS-HiFi videotape formats.

Duran Duran, for example, has done its best to erase the first impression it left on America more than a decade ago, but it will be lucky if it ever does.
To all intents and purposes, Duran Duran was the Spice Boys of 1982--as well as the first band to break big via the then-new medium of video (MTV hit the tube in August 1981).
Amazingly, the brand-new album, Medazzaland (Capitol), is Duran Duran's 11th offering, and it is a quite accomplished record, despite the single, "Electric Barbarella" (the band's name is taken from a character in the movie that made Jane Fonda infamous).

 Duran Duran: Duran Duran - The Wedding Album
The first five Duran albums are considered to be the classic ones, but even so I think that "The Wedding Album" represents the band at its very best.
And the song is joined by many others like it on what is considered to be Duran Duran's big comeback in 1993.
"The Wedding Album" was the album that made it legal to actually like Duran again and considering the image of the band during the eighties, this was quite an achievement in itself.

Duran Duran bombed quietly with 1990's "Liberty" and then disappeared for three years, leading many to think their careers ended with the Eighties.
Their comeback success was deserved: "The Wedding Album" is Duran Duran's most colourful, dynamic and diverse offering, and ranks with 1982's "Rio" as one of their best.
This album is fine tuned, which "Liberty" seemed to lack, but again it is really hard to compare any of their albums to one another.

While English pop monarchs Duran Duran have remained active for two decades, it's clear that the indomitable ensemble was at its peak during those mercurial '80s.
One of the other interesting things about Duran Duran was their willingness to change, not just as they recorded new albums, but even with the music they had out.
But the reason why Duran Duran stood over contemporaries like the Human League or Spandau Ballet was their MTV coverage and stylish videos and that certain edge they had in their mostly danceable pop tunes.

 Duran Duran: Astronaut - PopMatters Music Review
The answer, like most Duran albums, is yes and no. Astronaut, their first album as a quintet since 1983's Seven and the Ragged Tiger, is filled with exhilarating highs and some confounding lows.
One would hope that three years of writing (the earliest writing credit on the album is dated 2001) would produce more fruitful results than this, but in their defense, it has been 19 years since the last Taylor/Taylor/Taylor/Rhodes/LeBon composition (1985's "A View to a Kill," which hit #1).
A quick spin through the first half of the album implies that the band spent some time listening to their old stuff before convening to write anew, because the early goings play like some bizarre Duran mix tape.

Taken on its own terms, Duran Duran works every bit as well as Duran Duran, Rio or Seven and the Ragged Tiger.
"Ordinary World" and "Come Undone" are wonderful pop singles that sit between some passable album tracks and the occasional embarrassment, namely the wretched cover of The Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale." In other words, Duran Duran are back and as good as they ever were.
