Arcadia (Duran Duran)-Election Day (Long Video) HQ

Long Video Version Of Election Day

[@cristianambrogi6872]

The 80’s....probably the best music ever written.

[@marifimaturan7230]

yes you are right

[@richardcollier1912]

I was 31 when this came out. The 1980s remain my favorite decade.

[@armandoludena6253]

Still remember the first time I hear this song. definitely mind blowing !!!

[@houstonsportsfan242]

I personally think the best period was the romantic period with Liszt, Chopin or early romantics like Schubert...later post-Wagnerian impressionist French composers Satie or impressionists like DeBussy.

[@warpspeedpower]

One of the most original pieces of music ever. Pure genius.

[@DiesalAZ]

"So Red The Rose" is one of the greatest albums of all time

[@yetino]

Scott agreed

[@DOOMGENERATION]

I agree so much. I can never stop listening to it, sometimes even 5 times on repeat. It just flows so amazingly, and the atmosphere, sound, everything, it's just so perfect, every damn song, every detail. I don't wanna sound like a dick and I feel terrible saying so bc i LOVE DD, but sometimes I catch myself thinking that "So Red The Rose" is even better than most albums DD released, bc they just don't flow the way this one does. And it has so much more depth, I don't know how to explain. I just wish they'd have released at least 1-2 more albums with Arcadia, but well, I won't complain bc I'm super grateful they made this at all.

[@DCXpander]

Sad as it may be, another So Red The Rose would not have happened as producer Alex Sedakin died in a car crash afterwards while he was in progress with the Thompson Twins project that included his version of "Lay Your Hands On Me"--the Twins were another band which had very flowing sounds--Quick Step & a Side Kick then Into The Gap (the ending of that album was sublime. Alex was an incredible hand for both bands.

[@pablofran]

Scott you are right

[@andrelawrence5515]

No rio is

[@estimatingdepartment7644]

DD was such a good group that when they split in two they were still two hit groups. Didn't drop a stitch.

Simon Nick Roger John Andy, I'm still obsessed with everything they do, they got me through my rough childhood. My love for them is eternal.

[@walboyfredo6025]

Don't forget Roger Taylor, Arcadia was a three piece group! I know he not in the video cause he was the "shy and quiet" one.

[@swankhood]

I Didn't leave Roger out, I'm well aware of all their Art

[@drewrosecrans9728]

Takes me back to 85 i was 18 years old and this song is gold awesome side project for Simon and Nick 🎹🎤

[@DCXpander]

The Arcadia project was a brilliant piece of work--the best Duran album never made by the band. A quirky piece of art in both the music and the album's artwork--comes close to a Rio cover as any does. If John and Andy Taylor let themselves be a part of the project along with Grace Jones, David Gilmore, and Sting plus many more of great contributors--the album would have been way ahead of the time considering how many artists now appear on songs (adding nothing near to this). With Arcadia so much was added with the collaborations, like Sting on "The Promise"---his voice harmonized with Simon's perfectly. So Red The Rose is the perfect fit between Seven and the Ragged Tiger and Notorious. In fact, I believe that "A View To A Kill" owes much to Arcadia's sound more than just adding John's brilliant bass and Andy's gifted guitar work to it. "A View To A Kill" is the most popular of the Bond themes and the most successful. Think of "Election Day" with Andy's rhythm guitar and John Taylor working with Sting on the bass. Sadly this was one of producer Alex Sadkin's (who also helmed Seven and the Ragged Tiger) last projects before his fatal accident--his last production gig was with Thompson Twins "Lay Your Hands On Me" the original UK single version. Funny that Duran worked with Nile Rodgers on "A View To A Kill" and the album Notorious and also worked with TT on the album Here's To Future Days which was to be a Sadkin production. Take the b-side to "Union Of The Snake", "Secret Oktober" as an omen to So Red The Rose---only Simon picked out a piece of poetry from his notebook, then Nick and he worked it out with Alex as the rest of the band had left Australia and the label wanted a non-album b-side. "Secret Oktober" is one of my favorite Duran b-side of all time.

[@christopherb9888]

Great info

[@sarajones5577]

Yes but Andy wasn’t part of Arcadia..John was..Andy and also John did The Power Station at this time.

[@sarajones5577]

You have a very serious point....

[@laminage]

Grace Jones is still one of the Greatest Music Icons of all time. In 1978 she invited Bernard Edwards & Nile Rogers of Chic as her special Guests at Studio 54 and they weren't allowed in. They were so angry they went home and wrote a "F@ck You!" type of song which of course would later be Le Freak. In later years Nile Rogers would later work with Duran Duran after Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor left. In the UK his music still resonates. On Popstars 2 The Rivals The Female Contestants sang We Are Family, Steps a Co-Ed Group did Everybody Dance, as did Kimberely Walsh of Girls Aloud.

Simon and Nick should get in the studio with Mark Ronson and make a follow up Arcadia album. That would be amazing!

[@ACCreationFilmStudio]

Nigel Dick is an excellent producer who helped with the Wedding Album. Regardless, excellent creativity thrives whether it's through Arcadia, Duran Duran or the Power Station. I'd still try to use what was more successful originally in the studio. If it's not broken, why fix it? These guys change producers a lot!

[@wandererpyepoudre744]

ronson is genius

[@DCXpander]

You can lay the blame on the labels and timing. Red Carpet Massacre was just that a Timbaland and Timberlake take over--it had some of Duran's best tracks "Nite Runner" and "Skin Divers" being sweated on by Timbaland. Same can be said of Timbaland's work on Madonna's Hard Candy--some great tracks over produced with exception of "4 Minutes". The original demo of "Candy Shop" surpassed what was released. Labels no no art these days... Now on Paper Gods, the work they did with Mr. Hudson (see this page: www.discogs.com/Duran-Duran-Paper-Gods/release/7455757 and the tracks where Mr. Hudson was either the co-producer with Duran or added production (on "What Are The Chances")). Mr. Hudson got the boys sound back. Again the lead single of "Pressure Off" was a bit too many chefs in the mix. "What Are The Chances" and "You Kill Me Silence" were come back to The Wedding Album success material. Some of the other more moody tracks come close to echoing Arcadia a bit like "Only In Dreams", "The Universe Alone", "Planet's Roaring" and suburb "Northern Lights" (a true return to the sound of the first Duran album).

[@t.l.knight8005]

You are so right on. I think they would gel better with Mark than with Timbaland or even Pharrell Williams who are hard Core Funk/R & B.

Entangled strands all sing Saving some time to slip away We could die oh...
