Description:
European-style melancholy electro-techno-pop that has transcended time and resonates in the modern age! Alphaville, the proud German electro-pop band known for their smash hit "Forever Young," is celebrating the 40th anniversary of their career. The first compilation album "FOREVER! BEST OF 40 YEARS", which gives a bird's eye view of the band's career, is proudly completed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the band, which continues to attract devoted fans as a pop icon! This 3-CD edition contains 40 songs that condense the band's 40 years of history! Various artists from non-English speaking countries were active in the scene, and many masterpieces were created by incorporating the atmosphere and characteristics of each country into their songs. One such artist is the German electro-pop act, "Forever Young," which has been covered by popular acts such as Beyonce, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, and Jay-Z, and has been used in TV commercials here in Japan as well. The song was also used in TV commercials here in Japan, and the melancholy melody of the song has captured the hearts of Western fans. Their debut album "Forever Young," which included the worldwide hit songs "Big in Japan" and "Forever Young," was released 40 years ago on September 27, 1984. On September 27, 2024, exactly 40 years to the day of their memorable debut album, the band will release their first compilation album "FOREVER! BEST OF 40 YEARS", which will take a bird's eye view of their 40-year career. BEST OF 40 YEARS" will be released in two formats: a 3-CD edition that will cover the band's 40-song career, and an analog version that will contain 13 songs condensed from the 3-CD set. The 180-gram weight analog version includes an inner sleeve with a number of rare photos.(1/2) Source: Provided by the seller/distributor (2024/07/12) This pop band, Alphaville, was formed by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, and Frank Mertens. They are one of the few German bands to have made their breakthrough on the international music scene. With hits like "Big in Japan," "Forever Young," and "Sounds Like a Melody," they have inspired generations of fans. On the occasion of the release of their first best-of album to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary, the band members commented Marian Gold: "Alphaville is a band of very curious people, and for us the music world is a completely crazy playground. We throw ourselves into it, make mistakes, take detours, and come back with great insights and the craziest songs. It's a great adventure and a lot of fun. It was the right idea, in the right place, at the right time. Forty years later, however, this simple explanation no longer fully explains Alphaville's worldwide success. After all, it must be due to the special magic of Alphaville's music.If I had to add something else, I would say it is our enthusiasm that created it.
