Stars: Duran Duran

Summary: Featuring the tracklist: 'Planet Earth', 'Girls On Film (Long Uncensored Version)', 'The Chauffer', 'Hungry Like A Wolf', 'Save A Prayer', 'Rio', 'Is There Something I Should Know', 'Union Of The Snake', 'New Moon On Monday', 'The Reflex', 'Wild Boys (Long Arena Version)', 'A View To A Kill', 'Notorious', 'Skin Trade', 'I Don't Want Your Love', 'All She Wants', 'Serious', 'Burning The Ground', 'Ordinary World', 'Come Undone', and 'Electric Barbarella'.

Having reunited in 2003 with their original line-up, Duran Duran follow up with a collection of their videos. Masters of the format, the band undoubtably owe a sizeable part of their reputation to lavish productions such as the "Wild Boys," "Girls on Film," and "Rio" videos. This collection gathers together a variety of material, including the full-length original videos, as well as alternate versions, outtakes, interviews, television appearances, and a large amount of DVD-ROM material. Offering a fascinating history of the band, this collection runs through their 80s teen-superstardom, to their more considered, adult-contemporary material from the 90s, and leaves the future wide-open for the reconvened band to once again add a further fascinating chapter to the Duran Duran story.

Greatestis a Duran Duran fan's biggest wish come true (next to a live concert, of course)--all their ground-breaking videos together in one place. More than radio, MTV made mega-stars out of the photogenic group, and few took better advantage of the medium, particularly in the 1980s. Just as their music combined the sophisticated pop of Roxy Music with the electro-funk of Chic, each video is as immaculately styled and conceived as the band itself.

Like 1998's GreatestCD collection, this two-DVD set features all their big hits, including uncensored versions of "Girls on Film" and "Come Undone". Directors include Godley and Creme, Julien Temple, and Voguephotographer Ellen Von Unwerth and the albums covered range from 1981's self-titled debut to 1997's Medazzaland. All told: more models, more hair spray and more mascara than a Paris fashion show--but it's got a better beat (and you can dance to it). --Kathleen C Fennessy
