At the end of '81, Gold and Lloyd (Frank would come in not long afterwards) took part in a concert with 5 other artists, as Nelson Community.
Initially the band name was Forever Young, however, after a few months they changed the name inspired by Jean-Luc Godard's film: Alphaville "the city of the future". Which, incidentally, represented even better their whole project.
Mertens left the band in late 1984 and was replaced by Ricky Echolette (Wolfgang Neuhaus), in early 1985.
The band is still active today, playing new concerts and also promoting re-mastered re-releases of their first albums.

A German band from Muenster. As far as I know `Forever young´ was their debut LP. The LP provided several hit singles for the German charts of that year: Big in Japan, Forever Young, Jet Set, Sounds like a melody. Summer in Berlin and Fallen Angel are also worth giving a listen to.

LOVE this band. Marian Gold is such an underrated songwriter. It's a shame that these guys never really took off in the US like they did in Europe -- their music is spectacular.
