This song gets stuck in my head so badly. I can't help but feel a strange sort of sorrow for the last man standing in the video, who is learning his lesson about possessiveness versus physics, and has clearly brought everything on himself.
The video is actually called "Balance". An Oscar winner in 1990, it won the award fro Best Animated Short, and Alphaville used it for the song. This particular song is from "The Breathtaking Blue", one of their best, IMHO. Most of their stuff is sadly out of print, but if you can find any of the stuff, buy it, it's worth it!
Once I watched it in their studio in Berlin where I took place for an interview to Alphaville. They gave ma a VHS copy but I couldn't watch it for long time because we cannnot play PAL system in our country. I love it anyway and thanks for uplording.
I think Afternoons in Utopia and Prostitute contain the best songs,but it's quite hard to choose,I heard till now only good material from them.Sorry that it is difficult to buy their albums, most of them i can listen and download just on the net.
@WychOfAvalon Aw... I really mistyped that. It has to be "eighties" of course. Sorry. What I meant was that they changed their music and used new elements from Blues and Jazz... and that it may sound different because of that. Not their initial style from the early eighties. Thanks for the correction!
well, it is a good way to take a fantastic bit of stop motion animation (Balance - 1989, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_(1989_film) and then lessen it by making it an Alphaville video.
This music video had won the Oscar! It is original from Alphaville, very rare!

It is cool :) The creators Christoph and Wolfgang Lauenstein won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short of 1989 for this video.

This has got to be the most genious video ever made.
Esta debe ser la primera vez que coincido con la opinión de los premios Oscar.

honestly, a jewel.

Una idea brillante para un video brillante de un grupo brillante.
Uno de los mejores videos que vi en mi vida, sino el mejor!
Rocks!!
!!Alphaville the best!!!!!!!!!
I like this video!!!
This video accurately portrays politics in the modern Western World.
Cool. I remember seeing the models and the set used in the film at the Film Museum in Düsseldorf.
That is a VERY Fucking cool video!!!! Never knew they had a clip for this killer track!

An unusal sound respect to their earlier songs,but still great,an enjoyable,very interesting song!
@kcwong118 The video is a short film that won Oscar and was later used in this clip.
otherway around. first Alphaville clip, then renamed to shortfilm.
is from the songlines video
Back to the Future: Prometheus
Maybe that's what they meant in the first place with the title "Middle of the Riddle"
i also think maybe they we're representing different weights, 23, 35, 45, 51, 75
True. look it up xx

@torpeedo1 Yes it is, but they redeveloped their style ... this is already late 90s

this is not alphaville video this is short film "balance" by Wolfgang y Christoph Lauenstein (1989)
It was made for Alphaville. The band made a project called "Songlines". Each song from the album "The Breathtaking Blue" got a film :)
slenderman i never know you have your owned family
I think their album "Prostitute" kicks "Blue"s ass!
they should have put the chest in the middle in the first place
@kingstonlj Sharing is caring. xD
i dont get it, what is that! i'm fucking freaked out. If this has any meaning... then it was thought of after the video was done.
slendermans
