Album Notes & Community Reviews
The German synth-pop trio delivered a remarkably pristine, highly melodic debut packed with massive, globally ubiquitous new wave anthems. 'Forever Young' utilizes sparkling, cutting-edge digital synthesizers to score incredibly romantic, deeply melancholic lyrics concerning youth, cold war paranoia, and enduring love. It remains a highly atmospheric, energetic, and definitive pop document of the 1980s.
