very good type of music of the 80's

Marian Gold and Bernhard Lloyd went for "so80s Presents Alphaville" with Blank & Jones in the basement and have not only excellent, rare Maxi versions of singles hochgeholt from the 80s, but come up with for this very special: There is the B-sides, digitized and remastered from the master tapes, of which some people had suspected, they were lost.

In the digital refreshed version "so80s Presents Alphaville" is not only for Alphaville fans a treat, but quasi music lessons of the finest kind for the future generations.

As "so80s Presents Alphaville" sounds? "Forever Young"! Ok, that was flat, but it hits exactly. The music of Alphaville oscillates between restless, plush and clean as it could only 80s. This fits with the sound that the remastering has brought out the original tapes of the A- and B-sides of the former Maxi-Singles. From far less acknowledged B side jewels to the Alphaville classic hits "Forever Young," "Big In Japan", "Sounds Like A Melody" shimmers and flashes everything without (sonically) to lose depth. Blank & Jones have remastered carefully. Thanks for that.

For "so80s Presents Alphaville" is Alphaville took with Blank & Jones three years. On the second CD they gathered rare and rare treasures remix their songs. By Remixes and B-sides exhilarating remasters the double pack is already attractive. The booklet with entertaining band narrated history and photo rarities then sealed the fate of the purse:
