5.0 out of 5 stars Memories with a Bang!, Feb 20 2004

Instant Classic.
Yes, those are only re-makes of their old hits but done so exquisitely that it is hard to compare them to the originals. You won't find here a boring and so typical two minute bass line showed in the middle of a song - so we can call it a 'remix'. Instead, you will find here a complete recreation of the original idea, only this time circa 2001.

Forever Pop is vibrant and powerful. And on "Sounds Like A Melody" you wish your amplifier could go all the way to 'eleven'.

P.S.
Extra / hidden track and a half (just like the one on "Stark Naked...") is a nice touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome CD, Dec 4 2002

I first heard of this CD from KaZaA! I did a search for a song and the Forever Young remix (which does sound like Cher's Believe) appeared by accident. I downloaded it, fell in love with it, and scoured the Internet to find the source. To my amazement there was a whole CD full of Alphaville remixes. I bought it from Amazon.com's marketplace and I haven't regretted it a bit.

I've only had it for a week but I'd say my favorite songs are all except tracks 2, 5, 6, and 10; not that these songs are bad but the other ones are just so good -- I'm pretty sure these will grow on me though. Contrary to some sites track 13, the Eiffel 65 remix of Big in Japan, is not 14 minutes, it's only 3:30. There's a hidden remix, or two depending on how you look at it, of Jerusalem starting at 5:30. I don't know why Alphaville hid them, they're awesome! Much better, IMO, than the one listed, track 6.

I have pretty eclectic musical tastes and this CD is a perfect match for me. It moves from Cher sounds, the Forever Young remix, to spoiled brat enjoyment, the Jet Set remix, to 80s Sting-style rock, the Red Rose remix -- my favorite song BTW. Did I mention the Forever Young remix sounds like Cher's Believe?

Anyway, awesome CD whether you're an Alphaville fan or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars We were expecting this..., Nov 18 2002

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange, but True
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... Read more
