Just finished Andy Taylor's "Wild Boy: My Life In Duran Duran" and it is a really great, honest, and fun read. He notes that "The Reflex" is his favorite song, but is quite open to interpretation. He thought it was about a young boy, but could be about anything. It was produced by Bernard Edwards of Chic, and had a very cutting edge repeat/stutter effect that the record company objected to, calling it "too black." So the remix is actually what the band wanted the song to sound like originally. My favorite Duran song, as well. Cheers! \m/ \m/
