The project was active for just one album, So Red the Rose, which was certified Platinum in the United States and included the hit single 'Election Day'. Duran Duran began work on their fourth album Notorious in 1986 as a trio, without Roger Taylor (on sabbatical) and Andy Taylor (began a solo career).Info Hash: 3F5F015BFCA01B3C80D9C335EF82963455ECF2C6 Piece Size: 18821 x 256 kB Pieces Arcadia - So Red The Rose Arcadia Profile Arcadia were a pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran as a side project during a break in that band's schedule. So Red The Rose is the first and last album of Arcadia. Subsequent singles from the album, “Goodbye Is Forever” (US #33), “The Promise” (UK #37) and “The Flame” (#38 NL), found isolated successes around the world. It was certified Platinum in the US and 2x Platinum in Canada. It shot to #1 in Italy for seven weeks and reached the top 20 in ten other countries, pushing So Red the Rose into the top 40 in five countries. In October that year, the first single “Election Day” was released. Some things on it are rather dark and esoteric and done in a slower tempo, with jazz touches and Spanish touches here and there. What we do in Arcadia is looser, less structured and more moody and atmospheric than Duran’s music.
In 1985, Le Bon described the album’s sound to the LA Times: Le Bon commented the band drew inspiration from frequenting the city’s galleries, cinemas and shops. When Nick Rhodes approached Simon Le Bon with the idea of forming a side project aside from Duran Duran, he reluctantly agreed on the condition Rhodes let him use his yacht in a boat race (that almost killed him).Īfter spending time in Geneva “getting some ideas together”, the group spent the spring of 1985 in Paris recording at a then-staggering cost of over £1 million.
