Alphaville je německá synthpopová skupina, která vznikla v Münsteru v roce 1982. Zakladatelé Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd a Frank Mertens pojmenovali kapelu podle stejnojmenného filmu Jean-Luca Godarda z roku 1965. Celosvětovou proslavily hity Big in Japan, Forever Young či Sounds Like a Melody.
Kompilace Forever Best Of 40 Years na 3CD vydává vydavatelství Membran k čtyřicátému výročí kapely a mapuje celou její kariéru. Obsahuje 41 skladeb v převážně remasterovaných verzích z let 2019–2023, včetně symfonických verzí, delších klubových mixů a původních sedmipalcových remixů. Mezi zastoupenými písněmi jsou vedle tří největších hitů také Dance With Me, Summer Rain, Romeos nebo Lassie Come Home.
