Title: Alphaville makes a foray into techno-blandness
Product review: Sorry I have to disagree with the other reviewers. I was a big fan of Alphaville in the 80's, but this one is full of empty euro-dance fluff that may get your feet moving but the melodies and chord progressions are absolutely commonplace. A guardian angel theme runs the course of this album, making it a concept album I suppose, and even this becomes tiresome. Also gone are the cryptic lyrics full of wild imagery that made Alphaville so unusual (though I suspect a lot of it was nonsense stemming from an awkward grasp of the English language at the time). I have yet to buy Prostitute, but my hopes are up on that one.
