Our Take

Right, let's dive into the dazzling world of ALPHAVILLE's The Breathtaking Blue, now available in deluxe vinyl format for all you audiophiles out there.

From the very first needle drop, you're transported to a synth-pop utopia where every beat feels like a gentle caress and every lyric is a poetic revelation. The production quality on this album is so pristine, it's like bathing in a tub filled with liquid diamonds.

Lead singer Marian Gold's vocals glide effortlessly over the lush instrumentation, creating a dreamy, atmospheric soundscape that you can easily get lost in. Tracks like "Romeos" and "Summer Rain" are sure to have you bopping along in pure bliss.

But don't be fooled by the album's dreamy exterior - ALPHAVILLE packs a punch with their thought-provoking lyrics and introspective themes. The Breathtaking Blue is more than just a collection of catchy tunes; it's a deep dive into the complexities of human emotion and existence.

So grab yourself a glass of champagne, dim the lights, and let ALPHAVILLE's The Breathtaking Blue sweep you off your feet. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is equal parts whimsical and profound. Cheers to that!

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.
