Seriously! They should get Youth (The Producer) and have the other members work on their parts of this album, then have Youth fly to Ibiza and freakin work with Andy separately (if they can't still work together) and have him lay his part in the last. I mean Guitar usually is one of the last parts put in musically anyway, right???? Frak dude. I didn't hate Red Carpet Massacre. I quite like it actually but I wanna hear this album! I believe it when they say it was better.
Dammit I want Reportage! REPORTAGE, man! It's too bloody bad that they didn't put this album out. I read in the book by Andy, "Wild Boy: My Life In Duran Duran" that they were always held back because Simon was extremely defensive about everything thrown to him, Nick was fed up with Simon because apparently Simon stopped listening to him, and John was annoyingly trying to suddenly be the producer and it held things back so badly. Due to this, the demos were badly undercompleted once sent. Sad...
It really isn't just about Andy or Warren or whomever is playing guitar @ any given point. It is about the energy the whole band had @ that point and like they said, this was coming off touring and they had a feel to it all. I wish like HELL I could hear those full songs. I want to know what lyrics Simon was inspired to write for that album. I really hope this "lost" album gets released. If for no other reason than as a gift to fans.
What happened between Nick and Andy? Did it sink Reportage? They won't answer. I would like to think that they will release this album...at some point and time.
I would give up my left arm to be sequestered with 3 Taylors & a Le Bon. Nick would also have to be there & say "thick & lush" for it to be worth the entire arm... ;-)
I am "traumatized" that this album hasn't seen light of day. Would love to hear it before I die.... I'm turning 40 this year... In dog years I am dead already... ;P
So glad Andy is gone! These songs, however, need to be released!

Perhaps we didn't get to hear 'Reportage', but we got the masterpiece that was 'All You Need Is Now', so it's swings and roundabouts really.
Besides, this album sounds like it would have just been 'Astronaut 2' and that wouldn't interest me to be quite honest.

Sounds like it would have been a good record, if they're trying to recreate the early duran sound.
PUT IT OUT!
