DURAN DURAN: CLASSIC ALBUMS RIO DVD - New Religion

Rio, arguably the greatest of all Duran Duran albums, was originally released in 1982, and catapulted Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor into international celebrity.

In this installment of Classic Albums DVD documentary series, a fascinating story emerges, one of the writing, the recording and reaction to the unbelievable success of this sound.

With new interviews, vintage clips of the original era, new and archival performance footage and musical demonstrations that explain the genesis of certain songs, this 90-minute insider peek is a must for all culture vultures.

Excerpts from songs such as Rio, My Own Way, Hungry Like The Wolf, New Religion, Save A Prayer, The Chauffeur and others are beautifully interwoven into the fabric of the story.

Brand new session performances were filmed in Boston exclusively for this program, plus interviews and demonstrations not seen in the original broadcast version, are included.

The Classic Albums series takes a comprehensive look into the making of landmark albums that were integral in music history.

Along with interspersed live footage, they feature in-depth interviews with band members, musical peers, relevant fixtures in the music scene and those who were simply a part of the party.

Producers elaborate on and break down studio tracks at the mixing board, musicians actually recreate solos and passages that further explain the recording and creation process.

Every DVD not only tells the story, it binds the pages, paints the picture and ultimately provides the soundtrack to the making of a seminal album.

seriously guys, this has no audio

[duranchannel]

@dataspank It had! :/

Man I would give anything to sit in front of a console with the original recording tapes and listen to each track as they were laid down. Musical history in it's purest form. DD changed my life and doing this would be like looking at DNA through a microscope.

Everyone played beautifully on this song. John Taylor's bass is killer and it's often overlooked, but Nik Rhodes' atmospheric synths really give this song it's aura.

It would be even better if there was sound.

[newwavepop]

mine forgot to have sound? which sort of makes music seem less validated.
