Sci-Fi totally. The band title a famous Russian Sci-Fi film as well as song title the Ray Bradbury book. Is that the Face on Mars feature in the cover art?

Yes, I suppose it is There's also a 2014 remastered version with a different cover which also features the face.
Ina Deter Band - Neue Männer braucht das Land

Udo Lindenberg - Odyssee

Oh, I'm getting that 'not available' block, but I know that song well. Liked the way she rolled or trilled her consonants!

Nena was one of the more commercial artists, but this is a lesser known gem. Very atmospheric with quite an unusual mesmerizing rhythm to match the lyrics, very well done.
Nena - Satellitenstadt

Paul Hardcastle, 19

Is this really forgotten? When Paul Hardcastle was interviewed for the BBC's I Love the Eighties series in the Noughties(!) he said it was probably the least-often played number one from that decade. Perhaps this is no longer the case.

I considered adding this song too! It was my favorite dance song, even though the subject matter is pretty dark.

Major Tom by Peter Schilling -- possibly too commercial, but here is a live German version. I adore this song.

I didn' t know there were so many fans of Neue Deutsche Welle and German songs

Some lesser known Alphaville songs:

The last one has a very long intro, you might want to fast-forward. The tune is catchy.

Klaus Nomi, a real unique talent, died well before his time.

This one I find particularly poignant, singing a song about death while he knew he was dying.

I know this band. Other Hungarian bands of note active during this time are: Solaris, Skorpio, Kormoran, Panta Rhei, East. This is superb:

Summer in Berlin is still a favorite of mine
This one got a lot of airplay there. Sudwestfunk Baden Baden. I wonder if Radio Luxembourg still exists.
