 EXTRAORDINARY - Duran Duran goes Victorian Jul 28, 2004
If you enjoy classical music and can appreciate the modern turns being given to the format (by groups such as BOND), you will LOVE this Duran tribute.
I loved the song selection - a few deep cuts chosen won't be readily recognizable by the average fan, but true Duranies will get a kick out of choices like "Meet El Presidente".
Since alot of Duran's music was written with horns or strings included, it wasn't that much of a leap to imagine the entire song done by a string ensemble, such as "Ordinary World."
This is such an interesting and well-done cd. It is wonderful to listen to and you'll probably find yourself singing along to the more popular tunes, like "Rio."
Loved the concept, loved the song selection, loved the cd!

 Thorougly nonplussed Jul 22, 2004
This string tribute to Duran Duran is rather lackluster. It's not that the musicians aren't talented; it's just that Duran Duran's music - or at least most of the songs chosen for this release - doesn't translate well to the string-quartet format. A collection featuring all Duran ballads (Midnight Sun, Michael, Pop Trash Movie, Land, Winter Marches On, Matter of Feeling, etc.) would have worked better. If you're one of those fans who feels the need to own every release related to Duran Duran, it's not a terrible purchase to make, but for the casual fan, it's not worth it.
