Description: | Limited triple gold colored vinyl LP pressing. Eternally Yours is about permanence and transience. The lyrics of the songs from four decades are for the most part written by Marian Gold herself. A central theme for Alphaville and Marian Gold has always been dreaming: 'We get around quite a lot, we've played almost everywhere, in and out of our heads. All this contributes to our music, to the idea of what Alphaville could be. It's like a never-ending dream. Those who listen to our music hear fragments of that dream.' The all- new and titular song reads like a farewell letter. In fact, except for the chorus, all the lines are taken from sonnets by Shakespeare. Marian Gold and his two arrangers Max Knoth and Christian Lohr succeed on this album in providing the musical substance of the songs with the appropriate sound content. At the same time, the songs do not sound unusually bloated or overused - on the contrary: as a listener, one wonders about the natural, warm, even familiar sounds and asks oneself why there have not been more symphonic arrangements of Alphaville songs before.Gatefold sleeve. 4-page booklet.
There are no exclusive tracks on this vinyl release, since everything new has since 2023 been released digitally.
These tracks were previously released in 1999 on the box set [r357970]:
- "Pandora's Lullaby (Lunapark Version MCMXCI)" was originally titled "Pandora's Lullaby (Opera Version)"
- "Dream Machine (Dreamscape Version MCMXCIX)" was originally titled just "Dream Machine"
- "Elegy (Springtime Version MCMXC)" was originally titled just "Elegy"
The last two tracks mentioned here have also, confusingly enough, been re-released on the 2023 digital EP [r27475311].
