1997 interview with Nick

I love reading interviews with the band, old or new, and I find that much of the time Nick gives the most interesting interviews. The one above is no exception.

It's a little bit saddening to read that interview, seeing Nick's enthusiasm over the Medazzaland album, considering the album ended up not doing very well and was never even released in the UK. But I consider Medazzaland a landmark Duran Duran album, and Nick's thoughts on it at the time still ring true to me. Just because an album isn't a commercial success doesn't mean it's not a great work of art.
