Nick fancies himself as a bit of a goth, and he loves Halloween. I’m not in any disagreement with you, to be honest. I’ve been trying to think of what could possibly be gothy about Simon Le Bon, and I can’t really think of anything. Whether Danse Macabre was Le Bon’s idea or not, the singer tells Rolling Stone he quickly found his footing. Nile Rodgers, who co-produced the band’s hit 1986 album Notorious, returns for the new song “Black Moonlight,” and Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis joins the group for an especially funky rendition of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer.” At Le Bon’s suggestion, original Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor returned to play on many of the tracks, and Taylor’s successor Warren Cuccurullo returned to play guitar on a couple of others Taylor and Cuccurullo even play together on the title track. The band also wrote up an extensive and impressive guest list for its monsters’ ball. “And I think that was what was the trigger for the whole idea.” Wendel Jr.“We’d done some of the cover versions in our live show in Las Vegas,” he says referring to the band’s Halloween gig last year.David Van Tieghem, Manu Katché, Rafael De Jesus – additional percussion.Steve Jordan – additional drums on "Lady Ice".Herbie Hancock – additional keyboards on "The Promise".Grace Jones – additional vocals on "Election Day".Sting – additional vocals on "The Promise".Carlos Alomar, David Gilmour – additional guitar."Election Day" (early rough mix) – 9:04."Say the Word" (extended instrumental remix) – 5:48."Say the Word" (extended vocal remix) – 6:33. ![]() "Goodbye Is Forever" (12" extended mix) –Ė:45."She's Moody and Grey She's Mean and Restless" – 4:29."Goodbye Is Forever" (single mix) – 4:17." Say the Word" (7" edit) – 4:30 (Le Bon, Rhodes).Track listing 1985 original release Īll songs written by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor, except where noted. The circular image on the back of the CD insert spells SO RED THE ROSE both forward and backward, while the three letters in the center are T R L (Taylor/Rhodes/Le Bon) CD release decode to spell TAYLOR RHODES LE BON (the surnames of the three members of the group). The numbers on the front cover of the U.S. 00 represents either a space or a mid-word capitalization (being used before the "B" in Le Bon). Some versions of the album and related singles contained a numeric code in their artwork, this code allocated even numbers to letters, beginning with 16=A, and continuing to 52=S, and then wrapping around to 02=T up to 14=Z. The packaging is a 'so red the velvet', faithfully replicating the original single sleeve artwork, plus 8-page fold-out picture booklet of lyrics and biography. In 2008 a previously available, more complete limited edition for Japan fan club (23-track digitally) was remastered into 6 CD single set, comprising all the singles ever released for the Arcadia project ( So Red the Rose album LP), also including "Say the Word". The DVD contains the original 1987 video release Arcadia. It included the entire album, single mixes, the B-sides "She's Moody and Grey, She's Mean and She's Restless" and "Flame Game (Yo Homeboy Mix)", four versions of non-album track " Say the Word" (a track from the soundtrack of Playing for Keeps), and an instrumental mix of "The Promise". Box sets Īs part of EMI's massive Duran Duran reissue plans, a jewel case 3 disc (2CD, 1 DVD) boxset of So Red the Rose was released 12 April 2010. The album's artwork featured painted ink drawings by fashion illustrator Tony Viramontes of fashion model Violeta Sanchez as well as an innovative "light space" photograph of the band by Dean Chamberlain, who also directed the video for the song "Missing." Nick Rhodes said of the model Sanchez on the album cover, "She had an elegance to her, an old style classic beauty". There were many musical guests on the album, including David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock, Grace Jones, and Sting (who provided backing vocals on " The Promise"). The album peaked at #23 on the Billboard 200 in January 1986 and at #30 on the UK Albums charts in December 1985. It included the singles " Election Day", " Goodbye Is Forever" and " The Flame".
