While at the time Afternoons in Utopia got lost in a welter of mid-'80s Euro releases with airbrushing and bad synth playing galore, in retrospect it's actually a successful endeavour, perfectly evocative of a mainstream style long vanished while containing its own artistic worth. Dance With Me" and "Red Rose" were the much more conventional singles which got released in America, the former benefiting from some great U2-inspired guitar and the latter a reasonably sassy pop number that's one of various chances for Gold to exercise his Bryan Ferry fascination.

Talk about Alphaville - Afternoons In Utopia


Mavegar
"Forever young" was among my favorite records in the early 80's, this follow up initially disappointed me at the time as it lacked that same "synthetic shine", but I have come to realize that it is just as good, if not better than their debut album. Moving away from pure-synth-pop, into more conventional pop instrumentation with a psychedelic edge, their songs benefited, as goes to show by numbers like "Lassie Come Home", one of the finest songs of the 80's.
