"Big In Japan" was a real horror. Sickeningly twee but a big enough hit to be played into infinity at tacky Continental discos or dragged out annually as a Radio 1 golden oldie: "Back in time with Alphaville . . . All of which makes "Forever Young" a real surprise. A stately and well-sung melody floating along on echoey church organ, it does everything but scream `follow up'. Big in the credibility stakes if not in the charts. (Martin Townsend, No1, November 3, 1984)
