Alphaville - debut album (vinyl)

Forever Young

This is the debut album released by German synthpop band Alphaville in 1984 on the Warner Music Label. It contains the massive hit ' Big in Japan' which launced the band into stardom. It also contains the ballad "Forever Young" and "Sounds Like A Melody'. According to some music critics it is a classic synthpop album.

"Said the band, "'[Big in Japan]' beamed us up into showbiz heaven, half of the album was still be to written. So, while we were in the middle of composing and arranging the residual songs, we were sort of overtaken by our future selves. Once we wore tattered jeans and sweaty leather jacks now we were homeless millionaires living in hotel suites and airports." [Wikipedia]
