Hi Katy! I have question for Nick:
TV Mania was produced “Medazzaland” and “Pop Trash,” in fact for me two excellent albums of the band in the artistic concept. I can hear in both discs the influence of TV Mania in Duran Duran, but I can hear it too in songs like “Astronaut” and “Too Close The Sun.” My question for Nick is if TV Mania marks a dividing line between two eras of the band, 1978 to 1995, and 1997 to the present? Thank you. Eduardo
“Hello Eduardo,
The TV MANIA period was defined by the amount of time Warren and I spent together in the Studio; aside from BORED WITH PROZAC AND THE INTERNET, we developed a creative relationship, producing the two Duran albums as well as a couple of tracks for Blondie, which were never officially released. I think both “Pop Trash” and “Medazzaland” were more experimental than the other albums we made in the 90s, but I hope an element of that experimentation remains in our work today. Our creative process is entirely different now, and bringing in other Producers has undoubtedly inspired a different mood on each record. Nick”

Thanks Dew, Studio 54 is a very cool track!
Pop Trash Movie not so much - let's just say Duran's version is much better and a very pretty song.

Not sure why he thought TV Mania would extend beyond the time Warren left, but it seemed like English might not have been his first language, so maybe something got lost in translation there? The two TV Mania/Blondie tracks are featured on a DD Fan Club UK 2005 compilation called Duran Duran/Various Artists "Dream Boyz" CD. Track 15. STUDIO 54 (demo) TV Mania/Blondie Track 16. POP TRASH MOVIE (demo) TV Mania/Blondie Ha... if only DD's fan club actually did release live/demo CDs! (that's a bootleg, btw)
