This reminds me of the theme song from the German TV-series "Ein Fall für zwei".

This is now available on streaming and digital music services as well, thankfully for us who didn't buy the limited 12".

Excerpt! Copie!
A brilliant remix of the Alphaville classic "Sounds like a Melody" by Blank & Jones in collaboration with the two Alphaville founding Marian Gold and Bernhard Lloyd.
The original spirit of this brilliant song has been preserved and yet the new Grant & Kelly remix sounds very fresh and powerful.
The original design of the record cover has been very tastefully redesigned and the sunny yellow of the (really heavy) vinyl is also a feast for the eyes!
My advice: strike while it still exists!

Alphaville is one of my favorite German synth pop groups from the 1980s! I just discovered this exciting brand 2020 12" vinyl release while searching the trending new releases here. I just ordered this 12"! Looking for in hearing the new Grant And Kelly remix (Blank & Jones), I could not locate any real audio of the new mix, but I know I will love it anyway.

This is one stunning piece of '80s synth pop with its sweeping orchestral instrumental breakdown. One to treasure and proudly grace any dance collection.
