Strange Attractor - New Album

I wonder how it would be if it was mid-eighties today and we were awaiting the release of TBB, discussing first snippets (with not enough synths but contrabass, sax, piano, jazz-style,... and, of course, again, not enough synths).

Well, at least no one would claim it"s because Ricky and Bernd aren't involved in the production.

It would have created an uproar around the globe.. :p I must confess "the mysteries of love" made me an AV fan, though

I loved TBB instantly and still do today but AIU was a disappointment to me.(I'm still not convinced.) We each look for different things in Alphaville. Being disappointed isn't offputting and quite often if I hear the songs live or in demo versions (as in the AIU era songs on Dreamscapes) I get them. Overproduction is what kills a song for me.

I want to hear it whole, I can't really judge by snippets if it's good or bad...

So, what about the release party? Anybody going knowing that's in the middle of the week?

I find it quite ridiculous to judge, review or discuss a yet-unpublished album based on low-quality 30-second snippets on third-party-vendor sites...

Why don't we all rejoice that the long-awaited new Alphaville album is only three-and-a-half weeks away at last, and allow a band we supposedly all love to develop and present their own, unique artistic vision?

Celebrate, be open, DIG IT...and if it won't grow on you over time - well, that's okay, too, because we are talking about art, not about a built-to-order consumer product, right?
