Почему все молчат о самой грандиозной Дюрановской новости нового тысячелетия - их объединении в оригинальном составе?

Всем ли по душе эта идея? Как много вы от неё ожидаете?

Лично мне всегда было жаль, что ушёл Рождер, поэтому я рада его возвращению, но лично я вместо Энди оставила бы Уоррена. Возможно, это только рекламный ход? Хочется всё-таки верить, что это ностальгия их заела друг по другу и славным денёчкам совместной работы (вы смотрели Extraordinary World интервью - особенно Саймон был ошеломлён и все разочарованы распадом этого союза с 'дружеской' точки зрения).

Одно ясно - нас ждёт либо большая лажа, либо грандиозный триумф! Хочется надеяться на последнее, а ДД как всегда не торопятся. Последний раз альбом обещали, кажется, где-то к следующей весне? Судя по опыту, этот срок может быть ещё отодвинут. Хоть бы не томили уже...

Вот одно интересное интервью -

NIGEL REEVE
DATE: April, 2003
INTERVIEWED BY: Tom McClintock


Nigel Reeve is a producer extraordinaire who works for EMI in London as their UK Catalogue A&R Manager. Nigel has worked on a number of EMI projects, including David Bowie, Deep Purple, The Ramones, Dexy's Midnight Runners, ELO, Marillion and of course, Duran Duran.

Recently, I had the chance to interview Nigel about his work with the Duran Duran catalogue.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off, it is probably important to note that you do not work for Duran Duran - you work for EMI. What Duran Duran material have you thus far worked on and what sort of leeway have you been given in terms of what Duran Duran projects you get to work on?
I do indeed work for EMI but I believe I have an obligation to treat the band's repertoire in a way that maintains its and their integrity. Basically, although the band are no longer signed to the label, I am their A&R man. If they have any issues with things concerning the repertoire, I'm the person they should feel they can come to.

I've worked on a number of Duran projects over the years: Greatest and the Girls On Film remixes at the time, Strange Behaviour, the Rio remaster and of course the first singles box which is due for release in May.

I have a large amount of leeway in what I do with the catalogue but I always try to maintain that working relationship with the band. I don't go out of my way to cheapen the catalogue in any way, though there are parts of EMI over which I have no control i.e., internationally and at the budget price point.

Whilst there may be an amount of unreleased material in the vaults there is a time and place for that to appear, if at all. You don't put all your eggs in one basket and some things are unreleased for a very good reason! So whilst having a large amount of leeway is a good thing the mandate has to be dealt with professionally.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since Duran Duran is no longer signed to EMI, how much involvement do they actually have in terms of their back catalogue and their work with you?
I keep Nick in the loop all the time and we get together every now and again for lunch to talk through things. Needless to say I go through management with my plans so as not to conflict with anything new the band are doing. The band don't really have the time to approve everything and plan everything that happens on the catalogue so much of the trust lies with me. I'm sure I'll know about it if I f#$k up.

As I'm sure you are aware, I cover off many artists across the EMI catalogue and I have to split my time as evenly as possible which explains why the fans don't get a constant flow of releases. Apart from that, as I say, the band have new things going on and the focus should be on that rather than the catalogue most of the time.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you have been digging through the EMI 'vaults' indexing the Duran Duran catalogue. Have you found any interesting demos, live recordings or early mixes of the band's work? Any titles you can divulge?
I can't divulge any titles I'm afraid, but yes, there are a number of things there that may surface on a Duran Anthology project. Certainly that is something Nick is interested in doing at some point. Such a project would need a full year of research as many tapes in the vault have merely working titles and therefore can't be identified without playing. In that respect we are talking about mix downs and multi tracks.

As I said earlier, there are things there which are unreleased for a very good reason and shall remain so. The decision on what will or won't be released when it comes to the unreleased material really lies with the band; they know best.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about the Arcadia and Power Station side projects?
I'd love to do projects on both acts at some stage, both CD and DVD, but I guess we are going to have to wait and see how the land lies. I personally think the Arcadia material is certainly due for another look at.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From a technical standpoint, what condition are all the Duran Duran master tapes in? Has there been a need for extensive restoration work, and are all the tapes present? What sort of equipment has been needed thus far?
Most tapes from the 80's, not just Duran's need baking. That is something that is a general thing and no reflection on the Duran tapes which once baked play fine. The only thing is that many tapes have work in progress titles so an archive project on the tapes will require the bands assistance. Basically most of the Duran earlier original tapes do need remastering as they were never cut for CD in the first place and so they need tweaking for the format whilst ensuring we don't lose the original intended feel.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you needed to contact the original producers and engineers such as Coiln Thurston or Bob Lamb? Any bits recovered from Alex Sadkin's estate?
I did have to contact Bob Lamb for the acoustic version of the Chauffeur which is on the singles box as EMI didn't have a decent master, but I haven't been in contact with the other producers. I have talked Duran over dinner one night with Ken Scott whilst we were working on a Ziggy Stardust 5.1 mix, but that was just general chat rather than work related.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the biggest voids in the Duran Duran catalogue has been videos. While the lads certainly are excellent musicians, much of the Duran Duran mystique was generated through their video presence. While there were certainly many VHS and beta tapes produced back in the early to mid 80s, the last time I checked, there were no official DVDs available. What's the status on that front?
There will be a release of the Greatest VHS on DVD later in the year. It will be in PCM stereo not 5.1 as music DVD's are still in the infancy and the sales don't really equate to the budgets that are required to do a proper job on catalogue releases. As such this is really just a stop gap until the money is there to really look at the DD video catalogue. It will still be a fantastic DVD with some little extras and not unlike the Best Of Bowie DVD that I did last year.

Obviously DVD's are going to be a big part of the Duran catalogue release schedule over the next 5 years.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside from the music and video elements you have thus far used on the Duran Duran projects, does EMI have a full assortment of artwork and photographs for the various releases?
We have a lot of material but then again so do the band. As long as the relationship with the band at my level remains as good as it is I think we can produce excellent releases. There is scope of a DD anthology project at some stage including audio, visual, artwork and other assets that none of the fans have seen or heard before. I know this is something Nick would love to get his teeth into however it'll take 2 or 3 years to pull together so don't hold your breath!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the singles box set (tentatively set for May, 2003), what part of the Duran Duran back catalogue is in line for your treatment, and are there any plans to reissue DVD-A or SACD audio releases of Duran titles?
At the moment SACD and DVD-A are battling it out for the hearts and mind as of the public and until things are little more stable on the formats front Duran probably won't figure on either format in the short term. The creation of assets for both formats is expensive and once again at the moment the sales really don't go anywhere near to paying back that investment, particularly outside of the US. There will be multi channel mixes of Duran material at some point but it will need to be done with great care and attention. Finding the correct tapes to start with is going to quite a task!

The singles box is set for May 12 here in the UK though some territories may go later. In the summer there will be remastered mini sleeve versions of Duran Duran and Seven & The Ragged Tiger, as per the Rio release of a couple of years ago, in the summer though they won't have videos on an enhanced section as they are being saved for the Greatest DVD in September/October.

Everything else in Duran catalogue land really depends on the plans for the band's new album and what label it appears on, any major tour and my continuing relationship with the band. It's very much a case of watch this space.
