This CD has brought back lots of memories in a nice way. Though there's no new song in this album, most of them are well-crafted. The remixes are incredible. You just can't have enough of those songs. Check out different version of "Sounds Like A Melody" (great mix !!), "Forever Young" (sounds like Cher's 'Believe'), "Jerusalem" (the uptempo one-- very cool), "Big In Japan" (2 different mixes --- well done !!), and many more. Just get this CD. It's a bit pricy, but well worth your money. Trust me. Peace !!
I absolutely love Alphaville's classic songs, but it is nice to hear a different, more modern version of them. Most of the remixes I like. The "Big in Japan" mix doesn't quite stir me as I'd like, but it's still interesting. I would reccommend this album, especially if you love Alphaville.
This is a very melancholic look at the past and the future. Allthough it might seem to some that Alphaville had run out of songs, there are at least TWO brand new albums that we can expect in 2002! One was an exclusive web-album that will be released on CD and the other a brand new Studio Album. So if you think this is very good, but the best that Alphaville can do, just wait.
This is a superb album and it is not only for Aplphaville fans. A must have!
I was expecting AV was going to produce some kind of 2000 release of their most popular songs, and they did it very well!
Actually, the best two songs are Paul Van Dyk Mix for 'Dance with me' and the FY remix. The style is danceable but very modern. I recently discovered at the end of the last track there's a hidden version of Jerusalem... Wow!
Also, Marian Gold's voice is actual, so you can expect hearing him singing Jerusalem or Dance with me not from the old records.
The true credit for this album is the fact they are inspiring live their best songs again, so there's a kind of melancholy and some kind of brand new spirit in these songs.
