NEW YORK(AP) Duran Duran, who regrouped last year for a successful tour, are reuniting again this time, for a new album on a new record label.

Lead singer Simon LeBon told The Associated Press that the band has almost finished working on the untitled disc, which will be released in the fall on Epic Records. It will mark the first time the original band members LeBon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor have recorded an album together since 1983's "Seven & the Ragged Tiger."

I have to admit that I really liked Duran, Duran. You were not supposed to like them unless you were a screaming teenage girl, but, hey, their music was actually pretty catchy.

I LIKE DURAN DURAN, they were very much part of the British invasion and reinvigoration of music in America in the 80's! Long live the new wave and the new romantic movement, at least they had cool music and dressed nice, and you could actually understand what they were saying while they sang, I wish the same could be said nowadays, now you can't make the words out or they sing about killa cop or other violent acts or doing nasty things in public.

I couldn't stand Duran Duran when they were popular (Sabbath was my thing), but a few years ago I saw "Hungry Like The Wolf" on a retro video show and was horrified to find myself enjoying the song!

I have always liked the song "The Reflex"

Their 12" remixes rocked the house, if you like their songs look for the remixes on whatever music download source you use. I do not know if they ever released a 12" collection like some other 80's groups did.

Regardless of whether you liked them or not, you have to admit they had some of the best videos ever made. There was no limits from them or the studios when it came to spending money and location shots for the videos (Save A Prayer was filmed on location in Ceylon). They also had the best video music director in the business. That was when MTV just showed videos and the occassional concerts, now it's mostly blah, blah, blah...

Must have been nice to have been a member of that group when they were top 10, I remember when they were on tour one time in the 80's Nick Rhoades made news on MTV because he was on the private jet looking at a magazine of houses for sale and bought one without even visiting it first! Talk about being awash in fame and fortune!

Just think, a few years before they hit big with "Girls on film," Simon LeBon (Lead singer) was working on a farm in Israel as a laborer. Weird how the events that unfold in our lives come about.

You are all sick, sick people! Next, you'll be saying things like, Boy George had cool clothes, and that "One Night in Bangkok" had a nice beat and you could dance to it!

Still remember those good times on the Red Alert server with the Mirak Border patrol....hehe

Wonder whatever happened to Quint Leo, Lan, Bone Collectorand those few others of us who held our lines so valiantly way back then?

Anyhow, good to see ya Bro

Since we're talking about 80's music...

I've been a long time Gary Numan fan. Most people know him from "Cars" but that was not even one of his best songs.

He's still releasing albumns. His newest stuff us more like Nine Inch Nails, dark and brooding industrial. Very cool. Check out "Pure" and "Exile", his last two.

He also runs his own spiffy website:

Indeed, we burned some antimatter racing back and forth between the Klingon and ISC fronts.

I'll go back even futher. Does anyone remember the jaw dropping comeback the Romulans made on the very first Iplay West server? Down to just a few hexes the crafty Roms made for undefended Gorn space and recreated their empire in new location while the Feds and ISC held each other in a death grip in their former home space.

Neverwinter Nights gets most of my gaming attention these days. But I do find myself missing D2 every so often....

Way before me Harlax, I'm a Canada West server person myself, CW2 and CW3, that was back in the days before people caught on to the droner effect on hex flipping ability and taking planets and bases in no time at all. I can remember us Feds and the Klingons as well doing SB attacks that even with co-op took us 30 minutes for one mission!

That was also well before the patch for the proxy torps to work right.

I miss the days when people flew all of the ships, not just the D6 droner or NEC or NCD classes, and back then hardly anyone played Mirak.
