I remember the moment I was introduced to Alphaville. My sisters and I were lying on the floor with my cousins. We were looking through his LPs and I picked up one he had recently bought. The album? Forever Young by Aphaville.
I was hooked. My cousin made me a tape of their music that he had, and I bought some of their albums as they came out. It is difficult to think of which was my favourite track. I remember listening to Afternoons in Utopia often:
And I always enjoyed listening to Dance with Me:
Do you have any Alphaville favourites?

I’ve never heard of Alphaville before, Colline. His music is very haunting yet beautiful. Thank you for introducing us to him.

Their songs wet haunting – and especially appealing to teenagers (which we were at the time of their popularity). They were a German group who had quite a following in South Africa. I am pleased you enjoyed my contribution this week.
