Retro-tolerant Mucke for nostalgics

I freely admit that the career Alphaville after the two successful albums "Forever Young" (1984) and "Afternoons in Utopia" (1986) had moved a little out of my field of vision. A concert mid-90s turned out to be indigestible rock spectacle that made the grown fond of Youth songs only imagine yet. After many years without a new album release the newly formed band around Sanges veteran Marian Gold 2010 thus came to a new Silberling. The grandiose fallen out of time to translucent advance single "I Die For You Today" had made me quite sit up. A little retro-Content for the inclined synth and 80s fan - yes why not?

Everything sounds so familiar. Master Gold reached still problemslos even the highest tones, the arrangements are used to bombastic and often the handset captures a cleverly led melody line. That may be condemned as old-fashioned and loud "stop!" crows. But let's be honest: the wheel must be reinvented again and again? Just such a cute mini-pearl like "The Things I Did not Do" conjures me with its reminiscent of eventful youth Sounds constant pede a smile on the face's. We would like to thank!

Even with the ballads such as "Heaven On Earth (The Things We've Got To Do)" or the places something sounding like a mixture of Vangelis and Reamonn "The Deep" is gewohntermaßen dug a little too deep in the Kitsch and bombast can. Whether suits me something, then verily days dependent on me. Complete failures there is anyway hardly, even if "Call Me" has been "The Wendler" set the indicator towards pop Reserve á la and remains only thanks to the energetic choruses on track. Fortunately, blowing a wild "Gravitation Breakdown" takes the doubt out of the coat.

With some rippling fillers ("Carry Your Flag", "Call Me Down") to tears, although the maximum by valuation-bar, but thanks to retro delicacies as "phantom" or the quiet-resolved "Miracle Healing" the runner-up one must quite ans lapel staple. Good thing!
