The Claudias, Gulfstream, The Rosie Singers, Wednesday (background vocals).
Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Their 1984 debut, FORVER YOUNG, features somber but catchy synth-pop not unlike late Ultravox. Three songs-- the title track, "The Jet Set" and "Sounds Like A Melody"--were sizeable hits, and a fourth, the brooding and atmospheric "Big In Japan" (ostensibly about heroin addiction) was a worldwide Top Ten smash. Unfortunately, by the time of Alphaville's 1986 follow-up, synth-pop was no longer a chart concern, and the trio quickly faded from sight.
Recorded at Studio 54, Berlin, Germany between July and August 1984.
Alphaville: Marian Gold (vocals); Bernhard Lloyd, Frank Mertens (various instruments).
Additional personnel: Ralph Vornberger (vocals); String Section of the Deutsche Oper, Berlin (strings); Ken Taylor (bass); Curt Cress (drums);

Purchase Forever Young CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | When In Rome CD (1988)
Forever Young
 $9.25  
When in Rome was another in a long line of British pop acts scoring one major hit single before seemingly disappearing without a trace. The 1988 hit "The Promise" was essentially a carbon copy of New Order's radio-friendly dance-rock. Dark yet catchy, boasting a throbbing dance rhythm, a singalong chorus, and a hypnotic melody, "The Promise" certainly deserved the success. Like many one-hit wonders of the '80s, When in Rome failed to maintain the momentum set by its only hit song by releasing a dud of an album. "The Promise," the opening track on When in Rome, starts things off nicely, but the remainder of the album is embarrassingly weak. Vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann sound just fine solo (as demonstrated on "The Promise"), but their attempts to harmonize on such tunes as "Heaven Knows" and "I Can't Stop" are often laughably bad. "Wide Wide Sea" is the only track here that comes close to matching the dramatic, instantly memorable songcraft of "The Promise"; the rest of the album is utterly forgettable. There are several ways a band could set its place in musical history as a one-hit curio. One way is following quickly dismissed musical trends, exemplified ...
| | Depeche Mode Some Great Reward CD (1984)
Forever Young
$7.29
Depeche Mode's U.S. breakthrough album, 1984's SOME GREAT REWARD, expanded the U.K. synth band's American following from a small cult of Anglophiles to the same sort of teenage adulation that the Cure had started attracting around the same time. Featuring the Top 20 U.S. hit "People Are People," along with cult faves such as the intensely mopey "Blasphemous Rumours," the fashionably S&M-tinged "Master and Servant," and the disarmingly earnest love ballad "Somebody," this is the album on which Depeche Mode finally shed the stigma of founding songwriter Vince Clarke's departure.

Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Beginning and ending with brief, atmospheric synthesizer instrumentals, their second album AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA investigates somber but catchy synth-pop not unlike late Ultravox, including the title track and "Red Rose." These are counterbalanced by more peculiar fare like the impenetrable "Carol Masters" ...

Forever Young

Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Following their all-keyboards approach longer after synth-pop was fashionable but unfortunately disbanding before artists such as Mouse On Mars made Germanic synthesizer music hip again in the late '90s, Alphaville remained rather outside of musical trends during their mid-'80s ...

Sheriff's playground is in the same neighborhood as Gastr del Sol's and Low's. This guitar (sometimes piano) and drums duet strips rock to its bare essentials, writing skeletal music, fragile to the point of breaking apart, and recorded very closely to hear every overtone of the cymbals, stroke of the sticks, hum of the guitar amplifier, and, while we're at it, the cars passing by in the street. Of the seven pieces on Sheriff, four are untitled instrumentals. The other three feature vocals but are limited to one line, their title: ...

Forever Young
$12.69
Ready made equally for the car CD player, the iPod, or the olde-school puffy headphones on the couch, United Nations of Snacks is the true album for audiophiles and new song seekers.Snacks makes pop music the way they like it. Head-lodging melodies. Good beats. Tight arrangements. Unique lyrics that would shrivel into atomic nothingness before being clichéd. Lots of musical flavors all tied together with spot-on production and studio creativity.Cosmic Forces have drawn you here because you love music and find it hard to find those truly inspired nuggets that feed your musical addiction. Contained here are 13 of them. Equally represented are the sweet, the sour, the dark, the light, the melancholy, the manic, the philosophical, the absurd. * Do you want to ride jauntily down the road of lost dreams and wave and laugh at the ghosts that torment you? Put on track 1, "Yesterdays Are Gone."* ...
