4.0 out of 5 stars Newborn Alphaville, Sep 4 2003

By

Juha Ylinen "Heinijoki" (Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prostitute (Audio CD)

Alphaville has sailed a long trip from their tribut island ( Forever Young) to new land ( Prostitute ). Quitars are come to help keyboards. Alphaville has changed its basic sound much darker and songs are longer than before. If you loved Alphaville's first album, you won't necessarily like this album
because Alphaville isn't anymore 80s synt-pop band. When you hear for exemple Fools and Beethoven, you will know, what I mean.
Prostitute is not easy album to listen through because there are 16 tracks and maybe some booring ballads. It takes long time before you begin to enjoy all album. Be patient and listen all over again then you find how a wonderful musical journey Prostitute can offer you. My favourite songs are Impossible Dream, Ivory Tower and Iron John. Imbossible Dream is a very beautiful ballad for human love with great chorus which can almost reach to sky. Ivory Tower uses Alphaville's earlier hit songs names ( Forever Young, Mystery of Love, Romeos...) skilfully and with good taste. This dramatic song especially its end: "Oh my God! I feel so alone! I am 1 000 000 light years away from home. It seem to be a tragedy. How can I live in Germany. My another house is burning down..." Lyrics are just awesome! Iron John reminds a little Alphaville's earlier hits but it is much darker. Borrow this cd to your friend or library and make you own decision. Finally, Alphaville is not a dead band!

Reijo Piippula "Gravenimage" (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prostitute (Audio CD)

There's very good tracks like "Ascension Day" (very powerful track), "The Impossible Dream", "Iron John", "Ivory Tower", "Beethoven" and "Euphoria" (unfortunately there's three minute instrumental in this song before it starts, it becomes better while reaching the end). Anyway the more you listen to this album the more you'll like it. This must be Alphaville's second best album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Alphaville album ever!, Mar 9 2003

By

Katrina - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prostitute (Audio CD)

Get over "Forever Young" and "Afternoons in Utopia". Those are classics, but... THE REAL ALPHAVILLE are here in "Prostitute"!!!
I am a huge fan of the band, and talking about the pop music in general - I think this album is the most professional record that has ever been produced. With just over 70 min. of playing time, this album is a unique mix of different moods and attitudes in both music and lyrics. Marian Gold's incredible voice is at its best. It's quite a shame M. Gold is one of those artists, who are left underestimated, as I think he's a very talanted singer and songwriter... I wish there had been more hit singles released out of the album, apart from "Fools" and "The Impossible Dream". My personal favourite tracks are: "Ivory Tower", "Iron John", "All In The Golden Afternoon", "Ascension Day".
In conclusion, I have to say this album is a must-have CD for every fan of intelligent pop music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album of 1994 (Perhaps the album of the decade!)
There is a definite crime involved with this album, the crime of neglect. eight years ago America was deprived of the most complex, compelling and dynamic material thus created by... Read more

I like most the songs on this album. Some songs were weird but good. I love these guys so much i will like almost anything they do. Not as good as old stuff but still a keeper.
