![]() ![]() The second single to be taken from the band's third album Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983), the song was another success, reaching the top-ten on both the UK and US charts. It has a loosely sketched storyline in which the band appear as members of an underground resistance movement called 'La Luna' (the name is one of the few connections between the video's content and the song lyrics), organizing a revolt against a modern (1980s-era computers are used) oppressive militaristic regime, apparently in France. About New Moon on Monday 'New Moon on Monday' is the tenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 23 January 1984 in the United Kingdom. ![]() Those that almost made the grade but deserve an honorary mention include luscious B-sides Faith In Colour and Like An Angel the subtler end of Duran balladry in Too Late Marlene (Big Thing), Starting To Remember ( Pop Trash ) and Point Of No Return ( Astronaut ) as well as pop highpoints I Take The Dice ( Seven And The Ragged Tiger ) and Too Much Information (the ‘Wedding Album’ ).Ī few moments from Rio are also absent (well, we couldn’t include them all), and newer fare such as Face For Today and Paper Gods also just missed the boat. The music video for 'New Moon on Monday' was filmed by director Brian Grant during the morning of 7 December 1983 in the village of Noyers in France. We’ve chosen to disallow both covers (skilfully circumnavigating the much-maligned Thank You LP) and side-projects to avoid any squabbling, and there’s a lengthy list of cuts that were reluctantly consigned to the ‘bubbling under’ category. Beyond the album hits, there’s a singular chart-topping satellite single, album tracks revamped with cutting-edge producers (and then put through the Duran mould) and a few B-sides that were plainly as good as any of those carefully-selected album choices. ![]()
