United - Alphaville Forum

stardustdawn · 03 Jan 2001, 01:03

as I was looking through United just now I noticed that many of the song credits were to Gold-Diamond/Gold. I was wondering what this meant. I mean, if both Janey Diamond and Marian Gold worked on this together you'd think it would just read Diamond/Gold. But for it to have Gold-Diamond/Gold confuses me. Unless Marian was married to Janey and she "hyphenated" her name like many women do today, but I seriously doubt this is true and I wouldn't want to start any rumors. So what's up?

music and lyrics, I believe.

Well, I think it means that the music was written / done by Janey and Marian, and the lyrics were written by Marian alone (or something). That is the only thing I can imagine.

Diamonds are more rare than gold, remember?

I bought "United" from hotstuff yesterday. I´ve only listend to it once, and I think that I´m a bit dissapointed... Of course it´s hard to say after just one listening. What struck me was the big involvement by Ricky. And Bernhard were mentioned in the credits, can´t remember for what right now... You can say that this is sort of an AV-album in a way...:).
But as I said... I didn´t like it at first.
"Cosmopolitican" and "For the Sake of Love" is absolutely the best according too me. A question: Is it actually Marian who is singing on "Five Years"?? It doesn´t sound like that! And another thing that confused me, in the booklet it sais (c) and (p) 1999. But didn´t United release in 1996???
Anyone knows the answer of those questions and maybe want to share your opinion of "United".

It has been re-released in America by 1999. 1996 was a south-africa-only release.
I like DANGER IN YOUR PARADISE the most.it´s so BRILLIANT! And feathers&tar is also very beautiful!
Marian´s voice has surprised us very often, aint it so? Remember upside down, parallel girlz, waiting4thenulite and so on

Has anyone ever heard the original cover of "Five Years" By Bowie...I like Mr. Golds version MUCH better...And I love Bowie...he just doesn't do it with the flare that Mr. Gold does
