“Big Thing” by Duran Duran

"Big Thing" shares its title with Duran Duran's fifth studio album, which EMI released in October 1988, and Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor wrote it together. The band produced it with Jonathan Elias, who also adds keyboards, and Daniel Abraham, who recorded and mixed it.

The album pushed further down the new road Duran Duran had started on with Notorious in 1986, with Sterling Campbell drumming and Warren Cuccurullo on guitar, two players who had first come in on Notorious after Andy Taylor left and who would not be made full members until 1989. Critics were split, though some warmed to its experimental writing and the band's shifting style.
