Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:The Chauffeur by: Duran Duran from: Rio Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 064 - New Wave Duran Duran are the pinnacle of the New Wave movement. They combined all the essential elements of New Wave into one tight-knit package. They wrote masterful singles in which image and sound blended perfectly at the cross-roads of New Wave obscurity and super-stardom. Their early discography and their rise to MTV prominence really charts the evolution of New Wave as a genre. Take them or leave them - these guys are the ultimate New Wave artifact. Their singles are all extremely strong - particularly "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Girls on Film", and "Planet Earth" - however it's this odd ballad that I'm going with to represent them on our New Wave collection. "The Chauffeur" features a great vocal performance from Simon Le Bon with terrific synth playing by the rest of the gang. I think this song is brilliant and shows that as a band Duran Duran could display a depth that some disregard by only considering their dance-anthem singles. I am a huge Duran Duran fan and I'm not ashamed to admit it. |
