Alphaville (formed in 1982) is a German new wave and synth pop five-piece who rose to ’80’s prominence with the singles “Big in Japanâ€, “Sounds Like a Melodyâ€, and “Forever Youngâ€, hailing from Münster, Germany.
Prior to the earliest incarnation of Alphaville, founders lead singer Marian Gold and keyboard player Berhard Lloyd were members of the multimedia arts collective, the Nelson Community. The pair subsequently formed the live band Chinchilla Green, before Lloyd and second keyboardist Frank Mertens invited Gold to be vocalist of Alphaville. Originally formed under the moniker “Forever Young†in 1982, in 1983 the group secured a record deal with WEA, and by 1984 the name Alphaville had been chosen, named after the Jean-Luc Godard film of the same name.
Alphaville’s debut single “Big in Japan†was released in 1994 becoming a worldwide hit single, and topping the charts in Germany, Greece, Sweden, Turkey, and Venezuela. The single paved the way for Alphaville’s debut album “Forever Youngâ€, which earned widespread popular reviews, topping the charts in both Norway and Sweden. The album’s subsequent singles were “Sounds Like a Melody†and “Forever Youngâ€, both of which became top European successes despite failing to make an impression in the U.S.
Mertens departed the group after the release and was replaced by Ricky Echolette, who earned his first credit on Alphaville’s sophomore album “Afternoons in Utopiaâ€. Issued by Warner/Atlantic in June 1986, the record host over 25 guest musicians, and was marked by utopian and cosmic themes. Led by the singles “Dance with Meâ€, “Universal Daddyâ€, and “Jerusalemâ€, the album earned positive reviews and charted at No. 13 on the German Album Chart. The full-length “The Breathtaking Blue†appeared in 1989 spawning the singles “Romeos†and “Mysteries of Loveâ€. It would be five years before Alphaville released any original material with the single “Fools†ahead of the full-length “Prostitute†released in 1994.
Following another short hiatus, Alphaville returned to release “Salvationâ€, appropriately named as it represented a resurgence in the band’s success. Waving a salutary hanky to the experimental aesthetic of their previous albums, “Salvation†saw a return to snythpop, notably on the singles “Wishful Thinkingâ€, “Flameâ€, and “Soul Messiahâ€. Following the release of the live album “Stark Naked and Absolutely Live†in 2000, it was 13 years before Alphaville’s sixth studio album “Catching Ray on Giant†found its release, which was led by the single “I Die for You Todayâ€.
Leer másThirty-two years is a very long time to be in a band, even if you have a long list of singles, albums and success along the way. It doesn’t seem to be a problem for the German dream pop veterans, Alphaville, whom people know them for their debut smash hit, “Big in Japanâ€, which took the charts by storm in 1984. They take to the stage as the houselights go down and the blue lights go up. Their entrancing synthesizers and vocoders make you feel as though you are floating through space, and a very colourful space at that. It is no secret that Alphaville know exactly what they are doing as they play through their synth laden classics, “Red Roseâ€, “Romeosâ€, “Fools†and of course their hit, “Forever Youngâ€, which resurfaced in the charts five years ago when indie pop band Youth Group reprised and recorded it, only for it to go on to feature as a recurring love theme for the characters, Ryan and Marissa in season three on the TV drama series The O.C. It doesn’t end there though, as it was featured in the 1989 movie, Listen to Me, and a high school prom-related scene in the 2004 film, Napoleon Dynamite. There is a moment of transcendence as they sing this nostalgic classic. It is the peak of the set when the old fans and the new fans join together to sing in breathtaking harmony, followed by a loud cheer from the audience. It is no surprise from the audience’ reaction as to why this band are still doing what they do best.
Anglo-German new-wave band Alphaville rode the wave of invested interest within the genre during the 80s yet impressively as many others careers began to fizzle out, they demonstrated substantial staying power. Now thirty years since the formation and they continue to tour globally with the classic material including 'Jet Set' along with the new tracks from 'Catching Rays on Giant'.
It remains an upbeat operation focusing around vocalist Marian Gold who remains to be the only founding member. She is accompanied by well selected and highly trained musicians who know the discography well and you would be fooled in thinking they had toured together from the offset as their rapport is just so good. The audience continues to bellow along the chorus to 'Forever Young' especially now that is has had a remix by Jay Z in recent years. 'Apollo' and 'Anyway' close the show in suitably retro manner and prove there is still a place in the modern market for 80s new-wave.
Was at their concert in Copenhagen 23 october. Best night the past 30 years(best was my weddingnight). I stood in at the stage all trough concert, and can they perform? Oh yes, they all delivered the show, sadly i think the music was a bit too high, it killed Marian Golds voice, maybe because i stood right next to the loudspeakers. But also right next to David P Goodes, he plays the guitars like an angle. Only one wish.....that they would come back to Denmak once again, but this time in Jutland. Also i would like a meet and greet, so we could get authographs.
I saw Alphaville in Gothenburg on the 2nd October. The concert was fantastic, Marian Gold really delivers, I managed to be at the very front, with an awesome view of the band's performance. They played all the old favourites, the atmosphere was amazing, the band engaged wonderfully with the audience. All Alphaville fans need to see them live, the quality of the music is superb!
Great show. Marion Gold puts on a wonderful performance. He can still sing! What a great voice and fun time. Had a chance to do the meet and greet. He and his band were very gracious and pleasant to speak to. Very humble. Had front row seats and the interaction with him and the band made it for a memorable night. Hope to see them again.
Even though they are not "forever young" anymore, the second part of the show was superb!
The guys sung their best hits and got the Crowd dancing and happy.
Songs like "sound like a melody", "forever young" "big in Japan" will live forever.
a photo captured was reported towards me for Dresen show. i wasn,t there,
hang out,
and have fun is to greet , alphaville ,
an applause near the end is the gift of , hapoy new tear dear towards, the man we loved in alphaville.
In my opinion the concert was great but the place wasn't appropriate for that kind of venue. It's a shame when You go to watch your favorite bands in concert and the sound is not the best allied.
Spectacular show.
It reminds you just how amazing their music really is
The hard rock arrangements made pop hots into a truly amazing rock concert
Lots of passion from Marian Gold
The concert was cancelled and advised the same week. Not really serious for people travelling just for that.
They asked me for a change to other day but not possible.
