Inspired by film makers such as Godard and Hitchcock as well as rock models
like Depeche Mode or Roxy Music, Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank
Mertens, about four years ago, began to experiment musically and with their
ideas about working with studio electronics. At that time, naturally, they
were in modest surroundings because money was obtained with difficulty and
everyone had to have a study job on hand for living expenses and instruments.
From this ground, they shifted from Berlin to favourably costing Münster,
where Ariane, then Marian's girlfriend, could supply a flat. Here together
with friends they started the Multi-Media Project "Nelson", from which
Alphaville emerged.

Under the new band name, "Alphaville", the debut single "Big In Japan" is
released on January 14, 1984.
Two follow-up singles, "Sounds Like A Melody" and "Forever Young" are released.
Their first album, "Forever Young" is released worldwide.
Frank Mertens leaves the band for personal reasons. Ricky Echolette takes
his place.
