Title: Alphaville's third album a curious blend
Product review: After the overproduced nonsense of "Afternoons..", this album was a definite breath of fresh air, if uneven. Its also a hard one to judge, because some of the songs are so good (the title track, "She fades away", "Heaven or Hell"), and some are almost unlistenable ("Ariana", "Middle of the Riddle"). The synth arrangements are a bit dull: we're still waiting for the lightness and elegance of "Forever Young". Marian's voice sounds a bit deeper here, and he's striving for more vocal range. All taken into account, a pretty good album.
