Alphabeat - Fascination

Postby Frank_Chickens » Tue Apr 15, 2008 11:27 am

This is an excellent song in the 80's vein from Danish Band Alphabeat:

It's like "Footloose" minus the dark edge.

Are you going to serve some wine with this cheese?

I saw the video for this song and had to download it. I use to have "three day stand" with this song and was listening to it really a lot. Then I just put it off my playlists. It remained as a guilty pleasure I guess.

Granted, some may see this as cheesy but it's a decent track. Flip knows how they're going to follow it up though.

Also, it does smack slightly of 'Modern Love' by David Bowie as well.

I loved their song Boyfriend, and the great retro Pete Hammond remix of it was so damn fun.

their more recent stuff is more in club dance style than their debut, which I of course don't mind at all. I like Scandi pop in general [:D]
