Durannies who were committed enough to continue following the group through the succession of patchy albums and poor decisions that came after "A View to a Kill" can consider themselves rewarded -- in a way -- since there now exists a tidy box set like this one, which contains 14 CD singles. These 14 CD singles contain each of the group's A-sides released from 1986 through 1995 -- "Notorious" through "White Lines (Don't Do It)" -- with all the B-sides from the original multi-format releases attached to those corresponding A-sides. ("Too Much Information," for instance, contains nine B-sides.) This will be overkill for anyone but the biggest fan, but there are several goodies scattered around, and it's a convenient way to condense all of those 12" singles, cassingles, and CD5s into one portable package. It's not nearly as valuable as the box covering the earlier singles, but it's a nice companion piece, even if it only gets looked at and pawed over. ~ Andy Kellman
At the dawn of the 1980s, Duran Duran was part of Britain's "futurist" or "new romantic" scene, which merged glam-rock attitude with disco beats and synthesizers to form an intensely fashion-conscious variant on new wave. With their good looks and pop hooks, the group ruled the music world for the first half of the decade. After that, there were numerous side projects (Arcadia, Power Station) and personnel changes, but the original band reunited to much ado in 2003.
