Alphaville - Stark Naked and Absolutely Live

New Label and New Live Album for the Veteran Band, Not Due Out in the Us Until the End of July. Album Details

 Even better with a bonus track
An excellent live album, with some songs surpassing the original version. Be sure not to miss the hidden track on 12, at 9.20 -- a different and beautiful version of "Dance With Me".

I've been following Alphaville since the early '80's, when I'd catch them on the legendary WLIR. I lost track of the band for many years, largely because they were so hard to find. Then a fateful trip to Warsaw, where I found their first album on CD. Thanks to the internet -- and amazon, I'm enjoying catching up on what I missed. December 31, 2005

 Al fin: Alphaville live
Por años los seguidores de Alphaville hemos querido oir un album en vivo, y he aqui este CD. Pasaron muy bien la prueba.

El playlist me pareció seleccionado, y la voz de Marian Gold en vivo le dio cierto aire mas dramático y personal a sus canciones. Claro, no faltarian "forever young" y "dance with me " las obligatorias en toda recopilacion de Alphaville, al fin y al cabo estas dos canciones los lanzaron al estrellato. Las demás canciones de este CD son tomadas de los ultimos albumes, "prostitute" y "salvation" el inicio del concierto se vuelve muy energico y positivo, la mitad se envuelve relajante con oir "flame", y el final se enciende con canciones de "prostitute"; luego de un espacio en blanco de 2 min aparece repentinamente la version de dance with me en piano, un final perfecto para un concierto de ellos.

Recomendado para continuar la coleccion de los chicos alemanes. Es buena idea tambien tener los CDs anteriores para saber como tocan en vivo y en estudio. April 21, 2003

 An Outstanding Album....!
I have been a devoted fan of Alphaville since they began and must say that it is a treat to have all favourites together on one album. I agree with Adrian Ramundo that the best track on this album is without a doubt the hidden track (no 12). Overall the fact that this is a live performance captured on CD, rather than a studio-recording is testament that Alphaville is all about raw talent and brilliance! The lyrics are all captivating and deep. Each song has a melody, unlike mainstream music of today. This CD is one that never leaves my car and I never get tired of playing this album, over and over again. Just buy it - you will never regret it! April 16, 2003

 Just Get On And Do Another Studio Album
I am an Alphaville fan but just found this to be a re-hashing of old material. This band already has two 'best of' albums and should concentrate on new material rather than a live album. If their hearts were truly in this project they would have performed many more songs, they have such a large catelogue to choose from. If Depeche Mode could do a double CD after only 6 years, why can't Alphaville after all this time? February 2, 2003
