Duran Duran - Sound Of Thunder (Night Edit)

An extended edit of Sound Of Thunder in homage to their Night Versions. I always wanted Duran Duran to have Night Versions of album tracks so this is my attempt to create one. I have a few more Duran Duran edits coming after this
too. This is also my first attempt at an animation (which took longer than the Night Edit !!!) of what I thought a cover might have looked like. Enjoy.

I swear no one sounded like duran duran!!.. very unique band!.

[@andyg4082]

I agree they sound like no other band on the planet before or since they are quite unique Love the Fab5 👍

[@Fuselier3000]

I'm really pleased people are liking all these alternative Duran Duran edits I've done. thanks everyone :)

[@mgparis]

No, thank YOU :) Hope you're doing well in 2021 - crazy times...

[@mgparis]

For some reason "How does it happen? Does it fly through the air?" is among my fave DD lyrics

[@telavivkunz8479]

Any song of the band their music and sound is phenomenal and tremendously outta this world and spreading their music through the Duran Universe

[@sussexbearandpelt]

When I bought Duran Duran's first album in 1981, I assumed 'Sound of thunder' would be one of the singles, as it is so good. However, over 30 years later, I am now able to hear your own 'Night version' and it is superb. Thank you so much. I just wish Duran Duran had released a Night Version back in 1981!

[@earthtraderssaga]

sussexbearandpelt, There was a night version of Thunder, I have a 12" single of it, with the album version on the b-side. 45rpm. Still have my copy, purchased in London, in early 1982.

[@andrewzook1034]

@@earthtraderssaga Never heard of this. I would love to see a picture of it.

[@paulgrant1988]

Absolutely brilliant!!.

[@scooteraus1]

You should be on the Duran payroll. This is how it should sound.

[@loridonmyer854]

Cleaning house and dancing around like a maniac ! My Duranie soul thanks you 💜

[@KaigesClaiborne]

If your not toe tapping then turn it up!!!! This is badass......

[@libertyale]

I'm speechless...it's that good. A remix/edit done the way it should be done and you can tell it's by someone who truly appreciates the band. I loved this song at 12 years old as much as I do now at 41. I love their first album for so many reasons but mainly because when it hit America it just sounded so cutting edge and sophisticated.

[@paulgrogan6682]

Every track on the album could have been a single looking back. Every song had a hook you could not forget. Freinds of mine is still a hit that wasn't released. Bet everyone that bought the album knows all the words.

[@Zoon.Politikon]

Extraordinary works ! Your remixes are all great. What a magic jump in the past that won't pass ! Thank you very much for the MP3 links. Moments of joy will be spent thanks to you, in lonely dancing or in parties that such tracks will amaze ! Best regards from France, native land of Barbarella.

[@Fuselier3000]

cheers everyone for your kind comments. :) shame Sound Of Thunder wasn't a real single, though it almost was!! I can only imagine the night version, but I guess they would have re-recorded it as they did with Planet Earth and Girls On Film. I just wonder why they didn't do a Night Version of Careless Memories in that case? Never mind...I did ;)

[@earthtraderssaga]

RESQ85, I have night version 12" singles of Careless memories, Khanada, Sound of Thunder, and Anyone Out There. all 1981 releases. Late Bar, was the song that never had a night version.

[@coolhand1966]

@@earthtraderssaga Careless Memories 12" is basically the same as the 7". Khanda was a B - size. Sound of Thunder and Anyone Out There were only mixed as the album.

[@Whitelight786]

If you look at the cover of the first Duran album, Planet Earth , Careless Memories and Sound of Thunder are all highlighted in red. Maybe indicating they were all going to be singles, after the flop of Careless Memories ( should never have been a single ) they went for a change in style and went for GOF .( Just a thought )

[@chrismason5905]

That's exactly what did happen.

[@earthtraderssaga]

Whitelight786, They had to fight with EMI, to get GOF released as a single. They repeated this with The Reflex. In both cases, the Fab5 redeeemed themselves with record sales, and radio play.

[@DaProGamer12]

Whitelight786 whats also funny is how they all use that rhythmic sequence effect

[@7dianegreen]

I so agree with Rain Poetry below.. I've never thought of it like you posted, but so true. Duran Duran is the Best.. Dance music, to relaxing music. Like I have posted so many times, they blow me away by their talent. Xx

[@earthtraderssaga]

Robbie Williams Same here. A D2 song, was the highlight of every school dance. Music young people could dance to, with getting confused or stresed. just having a great time.

[@RainPoetry]

The Night Edits are the best... God I love this. Classic classic sound

[@kylabotting]

I really hope Duran Duran has heard these remixes you are doing, because they are SO bloody good! LOVE IT.

[@earthtraderssaga]

joydivisiongirl, I noticed the designation, 'night edit'. Instead of the official, 'night version '. This is a fan edit, then? thanks

[@avanesi12311967]

Yes they are.

[@MissNovemberTuesday]

One of their best songs. I love this. I have been listening to your mixes and I've added many of them to my playlist and shared a few on FB. I've also subscribed. Looking forward to hearing more. 7tigerland said it best. This stuff sounds like authentic early mixes, but I think they have a more current sound as well. Easily playable in any club mixed into current songs.

[@mgparis]

It doesn't get better than this...

[@RainPoetry]

No one married disco and rock like DD

[@davidxrod]

Duran Duran was NEVER associated with disco. They're new wave you fuckin idiot

[@RR64434]

RainPoetry You are totally right.... These guys were Rock Lovers who also loved a great dance beat. Duran songs always make me want to get up and dance and pogo at the same time

I wish Andy’s guitar work on this track wasn’t edited out. That part of the track is essential to the song, however I am a big fan of this remix. Amazing job

Amazing, so Amazing Duran Duran #1 in the world.

[@plastinki1]

...as I listen to this..it is very Night Version which relates to their style of mixing at the time...really really great stuff...Brilliant!

[@plastinki1]

I always thought that this should have been a single, SOUND OF THUNDER AND CARELESS MEMORIES are the best tracks on the album, this is a great remix, thanx for doing this, I know there is a promo 12' but I am not sure if it was ever remixed....

[@earthtraderssaga]

plastinki, on the album, yes. However, 2 songs not on the album are better than Thunder and Careless Memories; Khanada and Late Bar.

[@TheNouveauxdecadence]

Just discovered your page. You are a fricking GENIUS of the top kind + Sound Of Thunder is one of THE most thrilling moments from Duran. This remix is better than the original verion, dare I say it. STUNNING, WOW ! ! ! !

[@svenlabots1869]

Absolutely super indeed!

Can you hear the THUNDER?... bass, bass, bass...woot!

[@libertyale]

So damn good...couldn't have dreamed it better. I have loved this song since 13. You brought another dimension to it.

[@cetteheurebleue]

DD knows how to dance! This sounds as great as the day all was laid down and someone said that's REALLY GOOD!!! Look for Simon singing In A Broken Dream in Italy on youtube, in december 2016 and you will once again revel in their sheer genius.

Love your work tiger. Takes me waay back. . I was 13 when I first heard this album. Heavily influenced by Two girls I liked at school hehehe . . The years have flown by but the music still sounds sooooo good. When I get home tonight, the original albums going on repeat :-) Best, Nick

This is so awesome - really in the spirit of their early 12" mixes. Careless Memories is especially good. Would be great to hear Friends Of Mine perhaps and some others

[@TheNouveauxdecadence]

@Whitelight786 I think there should have been four singles and not 3 lifted from the first album. This could have easily followed Careless Memories!

[@earthtraderssaga]

[@ezeqnunez]

TERRIFIC!!!

[@Fuselier3000]

@modernoverdrive I use Ableton Live 8 and divide the track into four or five tracks, warp them all, phase one of them, compress any loops and and slightly boost the bass and rearrange into what I think goes best.
