New romantic releases, week 38

This week's new romantic releases and commemorations highlight a reflective moment for the genre, with Midge Ure unveiling a best-of compilation and Nouvelle Vague preparing a tribute to Depeche Mode. Duran Duran is honored with a Royal Mail stamp and a renewed focus on their emotional track 'Ordinary World,' written after the loss of a close friend. Meanwhile, Talk Talk's legacy is marked by the 35th anniversary of their final album, Laughing Stock, and speculation grows over a potential reunion of a cult prog group linked to Roxy Music and Gong. The week underscores both celebration and retrospection across the new romantic landscape.
