Have you ever heard a good cover of an AV song ? - Page 3 - Alphaville Forum

That was probably the Australian band Youth Group who took the cover to Number 1 in Australia - though I could be mistaken. Its probably the cover that has done the best and it was the most recent that I have heard.

^ Eh, maybe. I'd never really heard YG's version, so I'd believe it.

I've never heard a convincing cover of Alphaville and that's due to Marian's voice which simply cannot be topped.

Hello everybody, I'm the new one :)

Actually I don't like covers. I even didn't like an AV cover, BUT... there is this one remix which is really mind-blowing.

I'm talking about the Victory of Love 2players remix by Sebastian Komor.
God, I'm truly loving it, although I don't like techno at all! But this remix is different... I like the rhythm and the fact he kept the original song and Marian's voice.

I have a question... does anybody know where I can listen to the song on the net? I don't want to download it, I just want to listen to it online and show some friends... they have samples on amazon but only short snips, 30 seconds, you know!

Anyway, this seems to be a nice board... think I'll stay a little bit :)

Peter, the new design is really, really excellent. I love it.

I still maintain that a good rock band should cover the song Days Full of Wonder.....

hello fans and greetings, one specially to wii for give me the opportunity to participate of this forum. Well , i think that the best cover version of one song of alphaville is the version of big in japan , in the voice of SANDRA CRETU , is wonderfull listen to her , for me is the best singer of the last 20 years and your voice is very sweet . I have a lot of songs of her and i listen your songs all days like alphaville. they are the best apportation of germany to the music. Greetings and good luck to all.
