Duran Duran vs Talk Talk

discs compared
Duran Duran (1981, Emi)
The Party Is Over (1982, Emi)
In 1981, the punk is a mirage of the past, the party is over. On the streets deserted, desolate confetti sadly remind us that the carnival is over. No more will be as before. Farewell to the mountains, rivers, lakes, incipit oops I was wrong, I wanted to say goodbye to the arrogance, brazenness of the Sex Pistols, the Germs inexperience bloody mob, violence sound of Chelsea. Born from the ashes of punk new wave, synth pop and abstract as a new romantic movement. While Echo and the Bunnymen Heaven Up Here publish (1981), a symbol of the new wave of discs, including dreamy atmospheres and dreamy, imaginative, out at major EMI debut album Duran Duran, undisputed champion of new bands romantics fashionable, elegantly dressed and the "crown" in order (" some new romantic looking for the TV sound "slogan contained in the first single" Planet Earth ") bitter and hated by the anti-paninari, parents, siblings minor / major darkettoni the eighties and by the Italian Carabinieri, forced to work overtime. The tour is open from British band Talk Talk, label mates, but not all. I share with Talk Talk Duran Duran producer, Colin Thurston (Duran Duran, The party is over). The debut album Talk Talk, The party is over, there are echoes duraniani, synthetic sounds, inevitably squeezed to wink at the sound syncopated electro-Eurythmics ("Another World"), references to pop the charts ("Today", "Talk Talk"), delicious melancholy ballads from the back bitter-sweet taste ("Mirror Man", "Have you heard the news," "Candy"). And 'surface to consider, as often I read, the band of Mark Hollis (phase synth pop 1982 -) botched a copy of the group of Birmingham or even worse a fashion group in search of new wave dance-tunes from the disco. The feeling is typically danceable Duran, in "Duran Duran" the easy-listening dance pop tune is always around the corner ("Girls on Film", " Is There Something I Should Know? ”,”Anyone out there”,”Careless memories”), bussa alla porta quando meno te l’aspetti, ti sorprende e ti fa muovere il piedino. This is pop o quasi. Non aspettatevi il surf pop dei Beach boys, ma semplici melodie orecchiabili. In più c’è pure sperimentazioni all’insegna del japan sound di David Sylvian (“Night boat”,”Tel Aviv”).
