Visions on Alphaville´s music by Alphaville, from various sources


"...The puzzling character of these descriptions is intended
and if it functions, it should release new associations,
which then (finally!) are the products of the listener´s phantasy.
Therefore, the lyrics shouldn´t be interpreted further by their originator,
since this phantasy (yours, not mine) IS the key..."

    "Alphaville is the name of a futuristic city in one of the more unknown movies made by Jean Luc Godard, the bands´s favorite director.

    A mysterious "Outland" agent, Lemmy Caution, arrives in Alphaville, a metropolis controlled by Professor Von Braun and a massive computer system called Alpha-60. Dominated by Alpha-60's perfect logic, the citizens of Alphaville have lost their ability to think, to communicate and to love. Aided by Von Braun's daughter Natascha, Lemmy Caution struggles to destroy the machine and rescue the girl.
    In this movie Alphaville obviously IS Paris, which symbolizes the fact that the word Alphaville stands for the most fascinating aspect of the reality; IMAGINATION...
