Track list needs work.......2004-01-12

If you're looking to get started with Alphaville, you could do worse than to pick up this expensive import, but you could also also spend a bit less and arguably get more of their best work for your money.

The good: the inclusion of the achingly gorgeous "Lassie Come Home" and the giddy, goofy, dance-around-the-living-room classic "Sensations," two tracks from AV's second album _Afternoons in Utopia_ that didn't seem to get enough attention the first time around.

The bad: sadly, the third album just wasn't very good, and the four tracks chosen to represent it here don't seem likely to convince anyone otherwise.

I say, skip this one, pick up _Forever Young_ and _Afternoons in Utopia_ instead -- hey, they're both available used at bargain-basement prices -- and burn yourself a nice mix featuring the selections from those albums included here, plus "Fallen Angel," "Universal Daddy," "Summer in Berlin," and whatever else strikes your fancy.

Then, once you're suitably obsessed, pick up _Prostitute_ and _Salvation_ (albums #4 and #5), whose pleasures are myriad.

Alphaville is one of greatest syth-pop bands in the 80s! Absolutely, Alphaville seems to be as good as Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. This collection has an important place in Alphaville's career because after this their music changed darker and sophististic. You can find classic songs Forever Young, Jerusalem and Big in Japan for this album. Some important songs are unfortunately missing for exemple Fallen Angel. My favourite tracks are a beautiful and major Jerusalem, a terrific Dance With Me, a mournful and fine quitar tasted Romeos and awesome and evergreen Forever Young. There are some songs that Alphaville would have droppep out. Booring Summer Rain and too long For A Million are these songs. All in all, If you like syth-pop, this is a great buy for you.

los dorados tiempos del pop aleman.......2003-04-21

Hace muchos años compré por mera curiosidad este CD por una unica canción: dance with me. Pero mi sorpresa fue positiva pues esta compilacion me dio una idea clara de lo que es Alphaville, uno de los clásicos del pop alemán.
El CD me parece muy bueno, nada de aburrido, ritmos pop mezclados con mucho sintetizador de diversos tipos. Las mejores canciones: "Jerusalem" "dance with me" "the jet set" y por no mencionar las demas que tambien tienen una excelente combinacion ritmo-melodia.
Es una excelente recomendacion para quienes quieran oir y coleccionar "rarezas" del pop de los 80's, seguro no se aburrírán!

Best selection of Alphaville songs.......2000-06-11

This is definitely the best collection of their work on one CD, as other compilations that I have seen do not include one or two of their top efforts. The band has a typical 80's pop sound with a hint of rock in numerous places, lots of synth. Lyrics are strong and production excellent. The main tracks off the album have gripping melodies - "Big In Japan", "Sounds Like A Melody", "Dance With Me" and "Forever Young". The depth and reach of the sound is just fantastic, and you will definitely be exercising the louder levels of your audio system. The other songs definitely hold their own and grow on the listener as time goes by. This is a definite buy, go and get it.

Great album........1999-04-29

After first bringing this album back to the US back in 1992, I have had numerous requests for copies from friends. I have dutifully brought back copies on every trip to Germany or the Czech Republic. The selection of singles exceeds in quality those on any of the US-release Alphaville greatest hits albums. If you only buy one Alphaville album, this is the one to have!
