The Breathtaking Blue

The Breathtaking Blue is an album released by the German band Alphaville in 1989. A companion video, Songlines was released in 1990. Unfortunately, the experimental jazz feeling of the album has effected the band's reputation and The Breathtaking Blue is regarded as the band's weakest album. The band would experiment even more on their next album, Prostitute. The Compact Disc release of this album was one of the first commercial CD+G format discs.

The album produced three singles:

• "Romeos" (1989)
• "Summer Rain" (1989)
• "Mysteries of Love" (1990)
