Salvation by Alphaville
Salvation is an album by Alphaville, released in 1997. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Flame”, on 2 lists with a best position of #839.
Salvation, Alphaville's fifth album, arrived in 1997, and it finds the Münster synth-pop outfit, named after Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film, still chasing grand, glossy melancholy long after the '80s hits had faded. Marian Gold's voice is as soaring and theatrical as ever, riding on waves of keyboards from Bernhard Lloyd, with Ricky Echolette adding guitar and keys.
Three singles went out, "Wishful Thinking", "Flame" and "Soul Messiah", and not one of them made the German chart. It was the end of a chapter in more ways than one: the band's last record for Warner and Metropolis, and the last to feature Lloyd, who finally walked out in 2003.
