@@ColtraneTaylor Ouch. Do you really think that? How come? I'll always defend "Liberty" though, not least when even the group feel they should bash it. It's long overdue the deluxe disc treatment and be revisited.
Always blowing me away, the more I listen the more I hear the many levels of artistry and raw emotion in Simon's clever vocals. Simultaneously so underrated and recognised; I wish people knew them for more than just Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf for, while they are brilliant tracks they don't touch the maturity and diversity of their 'hidden' cuts and later albums
I've always felt that about them. It's even worse with Kim Wilde-people always bang on about that 'Kids' song she started with, or happy 'You Came' or her "cover" that ripped the hell out of the Supremes, but, please, virtually all her 80s stuff (for a start) has nothing to do with these songs depth-wise and lyric-wise and musically, and these 3 are cool anyway, though 'Kids' way less so. I always knew "Notorious" was a top album, and it even beats "Rio". "All You Need Is Now" is the same and beats "Rio" too and "Rio" is excellent, so there!
@ColtraneTaylor Also, regarding 'Mediterranea', I have to admit that I know at least one 'non-fan' who thinks that 'Mediterranea' is the best track on the album. Whenever we go into town, he always requests 'Mediterranea' on the jukebox. Having said that, I noticed that 'Too Bad You're So Beautiful' was one of the most played songs on the jukebox when I had a look at the 'most popular selections' chart on Saturday night. But yeah, 'Mediterranea' is a nice song. Reminds me of 'Like An Angel'.
Funny coincidence. I, too, always felt Mediterranea was their best track on AYNIN album too. I think the AYNIN album was finally their requested & anticipated return to their original sound. I think Mediterranea should have been the name of the album (You parallel Rio), with Too Bad You're So Beautiful & Girl Panic as hit singles.
RANDY JUDAH TORREZ < A first glance I actually thought I was going to hear A Matter Of Filling. Then I realized it was a totally different sONg, I really like it Milotic sounding indeed it's amazing how it could have been put back on the album *Seven and the Ragged Tiger* 🐅 sort of sounds like that when *DURAN DURAN* was in that mode of style and sound.. Thank you alot for for posting this inspirational sONg by *DD* GOD BLESS and carry on lad
@ColtraneTaylor I have to disagree with you. DD are much more than just pop stars. IMO, Bruce Springsteen just makes the same 5 songs over and over again with slightly tweaked lyrics. I like some of his stuff but IMO Duran Duran are much better and more varied.
DD have so many demos that are so so good , like all the Liberty's demos ... is a shame that the label always cut the good ones and leave only the ones they think will be the more commercial , did you hear astronaut's demos ? amazing too ... thanks for posting !
OMG, I love this song!!! Why? Why? Why? Dont they include these beautiful songs in their albums? ); Hope they release an album with all these beautiful rejects!
@ColtraneTaylor I'm glad you like this song, because it's one of those many hidden gems from the band, but to call AYNIN a 'turd' is quite frankly pathetic. AYNIN, regardless of what you think, has been a resounding success, with both the fans and the critics alike. Also, it's their best album since 'Notorious' if not 'Rio' and that's a... matter of fact (ha ha). You really would have to be tone deaf to not appreciate 'Leopard', 'Being Followed', 'Before The Rain' or 'Too Bad You're So...'
@Ztinkyy Errrrm, no. If you think this sounds like Japan, then you need to get your ears checked. Some of Duran's early stuff was definitely influenced by Japan but at this stage they'd taken a different direction. Although, for a track intended for a 1993 album, it sounds remarkably "80s". Great track anyway, the best song Duran never released.
@RocioDD Part of the annoyance and fascination I have with DD's stuff is demonstrated right here. The album cuts are, with a few exceptions, the weakest tracks they have! Album cuts are a step up, generally and then there's B-sides and the cut tracks that are often so good that - Well, they make me grateful for fans and semi-legal outlets for music...On another note, I swear I've run into you and Coltrane on comments boards before as "people who can talk intelligently, thank God." Keep it up.
Sorry, my previous comment was not very clear, my point was this track brings some slight reminiscences to Japan, the band, which Nick Rhodes is very fond of, and I meant this track may not be a hit because this is not commercial music, very far away from what a record company would want to exploit from DD
Excellent song and proof they're terribly fallible when it comes to filing away loads of music and letting it rot. They don't have the all-over excellent unalbumed material territory of a few of my other 80s greats, but they display a canny knack 9unlike many) for always choosing the correct material for a released album.
@ColtraneTaylor I wasn't aware that there was a 'manufacturing war' in the US, sounds like a rather poor state of affairs. As for Justin Bieber.... well, he represents everything that is wrong with the music industry today. I clicked on that link - never seen that website before but it looks interesting. Not sure how it relates to Duran Duran though, unless you're talking about the kind of music that Alex Jones plays on his radio show. Is it any good?
@ColtraneTaylor My comment was a little harsh, I take it back. After seeing your posting on the DD forum where you list some of your favourites from AYNIN, it's nice to see that you like some of the songs anyway.
Check out my videos (actual videos, not a slideshow of stills) for the Duran Duran songs "Virus" and "Salt in the Rainbow". Both on my channel - just click on my name to view... Had a lot of positive feedback.
The Liberty demos are good indeed. I like Virus and Colours from Astro. I think they've got close to as many good demos/rare stuff as Springsteen. They could do a 'Tracks' box of their own.
@ColtraneTaylor Then again you could say that about a dozen other acts. None of my favourite acts are as popular or 'relevant' these days as they should be i.e Duran, Simple Minds, O.M.D., Gary Numan...
@DuranFan09 Oh - disagree - this song is ok, but compare it to the original "Tel Aviv" track (w/lyrics) and "I Believe/All I Need to know" are much more superior (yes - they have been released recently). More recently, "Virus" and "Salt in the Rainbow" are my personal favs. Check out my videos for these 2 songs on my channel.
@grayarcadian This is one of the few tracks I like from the TWA period; I loathe that album. Though not as much as the turd that is AYNIN. I ran the RCM Bashing forum aka Speechless(google: "u2haha"), and once posted on LK as The Ghost of Andy Taylor and CNN of the City on mark uk.
@DuranFan09 Good for you, Duranfan. But the guy is a real song writer, not a pop star like Duran Duran. If you like Aynin that explains exactly why you couldn't appreciate something like his 70s stuff. Btw, if you want an Aynin discussion take it to my vids on that subject or to one of the boards I post on.
@DuranFan09 @DuranFan09 To be precise one song only Mediterranea, the others I was only being generous. Anyway my interest in Duran has all but gone completely, & I plan no more Duran videos; I deleted my board last month. Whether inside or outside of music DD has no relevance to me & in the bigger scheme of things which looms very large right now with the US manufacturing war left & right, Duran is no more important than Justin Biebler.

*Duran Duran - The Wedding (30th anniversary version)*
A nice thought. "Liberty's" passed 4yrs ago and no one said anything, despite it actually being their best 90s album, this one after it.

Can listen to this over and over and have since 1993.......
2021 and still draws me in!
How did you get this in 1993?
@@ColtraneTaylor it was leaked with the live demo version of Ordinary World.
i agree with you ! and my favorite demo form astronaut is salt in the rainbow ..just beautiful song .
Deus abencoe Duran Duran fantastico gosto muito deles 🎉show de bola😅
Another great gem by the great Duran Duran cant understand why such a great tract doesn't get on an album! What a waste of agood song.
I feel it even more now when they release entire albums where each song is total crap.
Great song. Always enjoy b's.
Love Simon's voice! It's so smooth.
I hope this song never gets deleted because I love listening to it and I can't get it anywhere
Google: Download CZcams Video to MP3 Fee and you can get a copy of it
This is just beautiful, can't believe it didn't get on to an album!
these are all musical gems,,,so thankful for you tube or we would never hear them,x

if this was a part of an album, and released too...it would have brought em even more fame then ever :)
I can't stop listening to it. So beautiful....
SinnMaschine Me too !!!!!!!!!!!

I love you Duran Duran
gosh duran seems to surprice me all the time, i bet the album they shelve "reportage" is full of great songs, will we ever hear it?
Love this the more I listen to it
This song is beautiful and touches my soul! :D
Like striking gold!! Thank you for sharing!!
It is!
I Love this song, Simon's amazing beautiful voice, music, lyrics. Love it. xx
I listen to this song every day and I love it
Rachael Ross I've never heard this song b4 it's really good ! Almost as good as Man City :):):)
@@daviedlebonnie7721 this song is better than Man City any day
Duran Duran always surprises us, very good song!
Never heard this before-absolutely fab (as per usual)! x
Seems like they really reject some of their best, most melodic songs. These all need to be officially released, right?
You are right
Thats like the sequel for "matter of feelings"
Hermoso tema Duran Duran es increíble gracias por compartir con nosotros los fans este tema simon fabulosa vozzzzzzz 👀😍😘💋💋👌👍❤❤❤❤❤
fantastic song, music and lyrics, i am in awe, Duran-thank you!

Excellent!

Great song.
Very nice song! Sois maravillosos!
...Surprisingly it's just Warren and Simon! Warren is playing just like Nick!!!
How do you know it's only 2 of them ???
No it isnt.
Why isn't this song officially released?
A really nice song by Duran Duran.

I'm about to upload my version of TWA with this in it. Check back in a week (unless Duran and their record company forces me to take it down). ; )
@@ColtraneTaylor Thanks, wish there was a way to download these tracks.
@@mariflame1821 There are many sites where you can do that. Like www.y2mate.com/en47/youtube-mp3. Just google youtube to mp3.

WELCOM DURAN DURAN
it reminds me of another song they did, I Believe (All I Need To Know) so this could be a BIG THING demo
Super música !!
Mediterranea starts just like "Kokimo" by the Beach Boys. However, Mediterranea gets better, where Kokimo continues to suck.
Ha! Brilliant.
I don't have this song so beautiful
You had me at 'Wedding Album'.
Checkout "The Wedding".
