@navigator: Of course we will help promote the album any which way we can. Biggest problem with this is that these things cost money and I'm not so sure that AV themselves are willing to invest a lot of money on promotion....that's what record labels are for! I REALLY hope that AV have signed with a record company who will help promote the new album, but I must admit that I will be surprised if they have....

We will buy the mp3-players with big free space, and record all the av tracks on them and we will give that anyone for free [smile2][smile2][smile2]

My prediction:

1. This album will not chart.
2. Marian/Alphaville will continue for many years to come, it's not about breaking into charts for him.

The chances of getting reasonably high into the charts without WEA is approximately 0,01%.

I agree with Moonboy....... Marian is a true artist and as long as he can create, he will continue to make music for music's sake. If it was all about creating to get high in the charts I think you would see a completely different discography than what currently exists.

I think that's a pretty accurate approximation

Krapplund · 16 Sep 2008, 19:42

But for sure I will promote them and the new album

navigator · 16 Sep 2008, 19:49

Yeah Krapplund!

We should all start some campaign of sorts. For Sweden, how about 10 people running naked through Stockholm together, each with a letter from "Alphaville".

I'm not volunteering though [tonque]
