ASTRONAUT:

‘Astronaut’ was recorded at London’s Sphere Studios with Don Gilmore, Dallas Austin (Madonna, Christine Aguilera, TLC, Usher and Gwen Stefani)

and Nile Rodgers (Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran) sharing production responsibilities with the band. ‘Astronaut’ marks Duran Duran’s first

release on Epic Records, since they signed their new deal with the major earlier this year. Jeremy Wheatley (Massive Attack, Sugababes and

The Dandy Warhol’s) mixed the album at Olympic Studios in London. 'Astronaut' features 12 tracks, amongst others the first two hitsingles

'(Reach Up For The) Sunrise' and the epic song 'What Happens Tomorrow'.

Alongside the standard 12-track album, Epic also released a special limited edition deluxe package of ‘Astronaut’, featuring a 24-page colour

booklet and a bonus 45-minute DVD that includes candid, behind-the-scenes footage (shot by award-winning documentary film-maker Gavin Elder)

and five full-length live tracks from the band's sold-out concert run at Wembley Arena earlier this year. Live songs included are:

‘(Reach Up For The) Sunrise’, ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’, ‘What Happens Tomorrow’, ‘Union of the Snake’ and ‘Wild Boys’. Also featured on the DVD is

the spectacular music video for ‘(Reach Up For The) Sunrise’ – the first single off the album. Later on in 2005, a full DVD will be released featuring a full concert filmed at Wembley Arena, London, UK.
