Alphaville

Formed in Münster in 1982, the German synth-pop group Alphaville draws its name from a 1965 Jean-Luc Godard film. Founded by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, and Frank Mertens, the band rose to prominence during the 1980s. They secured significant chart success with tracks including "Forever Young" and "Big in Japan." While the lineup has featured various musicians, Gold remains the sole original member to perform with the group continuously.
