Duran Duran- The Chauffeur

This video for The Chauffeur is the only one on the album in which the band do not appear at all. It was filmed around Notting Hill during the autumn of 1982, while the band was away on tour.A moody, elegant black-and-white piece inspired by the fetishistic imagery of Helmut Newton which features two mysterious, hauntingly beautiful women who are seen ritualistically dressing themselves in elaborate lingerie before traveling separately through the dark streets and tunnels of London to meet in a vacant underground car park for an exotic lesbian encounter.

The Melody of Robert Smith

Crystal Castles have teamed up with Robert Smith to record a song which is rumored to be their next single. The song is a track on their second album which was remixed and given a new life with Robert Smith's vocals. "Not In Love" is actually a cover of 80's New wave band Platinum Blonde.

Instant Hit: The Human League- Marianne (Alt. Version)

"Marianne" was a principal track on Human League's 'Holiday 80' EP. Two versions of "Marianne" were completed for this EP, but this alternate version has only appeared in remixed and re-edited form on the Australian release of the 'Travelogue' album. Of this version, Philip said, "We did a nice version of Marianne - much better than the 'Holiday '80' one. I think it was great - one of the best things we've ever done - but Virgin wouldn't put it out because they didn't like it."
