Our Take
Our Take
ALPHAVILLE's Afternoons In Utopia (Deluxe Edition) is a journey through synth-pop paradise, a whimsical romp through a world of neon lights and ethereal melodies. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a universe where the sun never sets and every day is an endless dance party.
The album kicks off with the infectious beats of "Dance With Me," a track that will have you grooving in your seat from the get-go. As frontman Marian Gold's smooth vocals wash over you, you can't help but be drawn in by the sheer catchiness of this song.
But it's not all glitter and gloss on Afternoons In Utopia. Tracks like "Universal Daddy" and "Jerusalem" delve into deeper themes, exploring ideas of power, politics, and religion with a nuanced touch. It's a refreshing change of pace in an album that could easily have coasted by on its shimmering surface.
The Deluxe Edition of Afternoons In Utopia also includes remixes and rare tracks that add an extra layer of intrigue to the album. From the pulsating energy of the extended version of "Red Rose" to the dreamy vibes of "Lassie Come Home," there's something here for every kind of ALPHAVILLE fan.
In conclusion, Afternoons In Utopia is a must-listen for anyone who loves their music with a side of nostalgia and a healthy dose of whimsy. So put on your neon shades, turn up the volume, and get ready to dance the night away with ALPHAVILLE.

About the artist
Alphaville
Ah, Alphaville. The German synth-pop legends who took the world by storm in the 1980s with their infectious melodies and futuristic soundscapes. Led by the enigmatic Marian Gold, this band has been breaking hearts and blowing minds for over three decades. With hits like "Big in Japan" and "Forever Young," Alphaville carved out a unique space in the pop landscape, blending catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics. Their debut album, "Forever Young," remains a classic of the era, capturing the hope and uncertainty of youth in its shimmering production and Gold's earnest vocals. But Alphaville is not just a nostalgia act. They continue to release new music, pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic landscapes. Their most recent album, "Strange Attractor," is a testament to their enduring creativity and relevance in the ever-evolving world of music. Marian Gold remains a magnetic frontman, his stage presence as captivating as ever. The band's live shows are a spectacle to behold, with a mix of old hits and new material that keeps fans coming back for more. In a world of disposable pop music, Alphaville stands out as a true original. Their music is timeless, their vision uncompromising. So next time you're in the mood for some synth-pop magic, look no further than Alphaville. They're Big in Japan, and they're Big in our hearts.
