Were they successful? Was their new music any good? And, are they still performing?
Yep, they’re still performing. However, the new CD is slated for release “sometime in 2004”. They have a new single (Reach up for the) Sunrise which will be released as a Mega-Single.

The video can be seen all around the place, including http://www.abc.net.au/broadband/ and http://www.duranduran.no.
The single can be purchased from the iTunes Music Store, and was #1 most-added song at adult radio in the last week. It was also #1 on the listener-voted Top 5@7 on STAR 98 Los Angeles. The song is hot!
