Marian Gold’s career stretches 38 years. 8 studio albums with Alphaville, a number of compilation releases, and two solo albums. But it was the first two Alphaville albums that had enormous success, not only just within Germany and the German-speaking territories, but worldwide and their hits Big in Japan, Forever Young, Dance with Me, and Sounds like a Melody became household staples.

Marian has been the one constant in Alphaville, always looking for a new challenge, and recently he found it with the German film Orchestra Babelsberg. A double album of tracks spanning his career has been re-recorded, some in a completely new style, and was released on September 23rd of 2022. In Part One of this interview, Marian talks about his upbringing and the inspiration of Berlin, and the development of Alphaville in Münster.

Make sure you listen to Part Two.
