1986 was the year England's duran Duran was reduced to a trio. Drummer Roger Taylor bowed
out due to nervous exhaustion, and guitarist Andy Taylor walked out in a huff for a solo
career. The remaining members (Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, and John Taylor)were left in a funk
and were unsure what musical direction to take. They decided to hook up with the ever-trusty
Nile Rodgers, and the result is "Notorious," the band's most rhythm-oriented disc to date.
The title track is near-flawless; never before has the group released a groove this tight
and sedcutive. Simon LeBon gives us a never-before-heard falsetto in the single "Skin
Trade," which features some guitar work that's unmistakably Nile. Moreover, things get moody
in the angelic "Winter Marches On," and we're brought to the disc's closer, the stomping
rokcer "Proposition." Did I fail to mention the group's forgotten and underrated single
"Meet El Presidente?" "Notorious" is a solid album from start to finish and represents a
step towards musical maturity for the band. Following the abrupt departure of two members,
you have to give these guys credit for bouncing back with an impressive disc that doesn't
disappoint.
