Third album and third big hit for Duran Duran who, after two splendid works, successfully manage to shrewdly calibrate their mix once again.

Last high-level work before being stunned by the deafening screams of the fans. The Reflex and New Moon On Monday open, close, and revisit. Rodhes (Nick, not Cecil) moves nervously until freezing while the three Taylor turn the room upside down. There are no trees to cover the rough tributes of the audience in the hall, so Le Bon pushes further forward to better baste the songs.

Shadows on Your Side reveals itself as a splendid song, catchy but without complacency, Of Crime And Passion is tight and pleasantly pared down.

Once again, Duran Duran indulge in luxuries that only they know how to bring back.
