Few side projects have ever proven so disastrous. When Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and guitarist Andy Taylor formed the Power Station in 1985, it not only toppled their other band's domination over the pop world but cast a dark cocaine and slap-bass cloud over the entire decade that didn't shake off until Miami Vice was cancelled and Nirvana arrived. But that wasn't all. Superstitious types believe that resentful Durannies set a curse on singer Robert Palmer, Chic drummer Tony Thompson and producer Bernard Edwards that eventually sent them all to early graves. Two decades on, all that is swept aside and what remains is the music: Self-indulgent and superficial, yes - and, with just eight songs, in such small portions. But, in retrospect, the Power Station is also unexpectedly forceful and funky, particularly with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong." --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews

out of site
the songs are well written but most of them need some good beats in order to attract more of their listeners. only a couple of them were great but they need some better ones

Happy to find CD verion of the album
I had the cassette of this album, but wanted to upgrade to CD. I have also seen Power Station in concert. Some of the extended versions of the songs are a little strange, but that may be due to only being familiar with the cassette which didn't have the extended versions. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but am sure that it will be just as good. Highly recommended.

In With the In Crowd
I'm not much of a joiner, but I'm with the majority (and then some) on this one. My favorite new band in these days was Fastway. They were like Eddie Cochran taking acid and speed together. But I had also been a fan of Chic in thier day. They were an original in the margins of disco. Bernard Edwards was the man.
Anyway. the Power Station was fantastic, and though we mourned it then, thier failure made this one all the more a treasure.
