03rd album-Ready for romance (1986) / Vinyl record [Vinyl-LP]

🕊️ Modern Talking – Ready for Romance (The 3rd Album)

(Hansa Records, 1986 – Vinyl Edition)

Some albums flirt. Ready for Romance embraces. This third studio release from Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders refines their signature sound—layered synths, falsetto harmonies, and emotionally charged lyrics—into a polished, chart-topping experience. It’s the duo at their most confident and cohesive.

Key tracks include:

• “Cheri, Cheri Lady” – iconic and irresistible, with cascading synths and romantic urgency
• “With a Little Love” – upbeat and affirming
• “Wild Wild Water” – dramatic and cinematic
• “Just Like an Angel” – ethereal and tender
• “Heaven Will Know” – soaring and heartfelt
• “Don’t Give Up” – motivational and melodic

The production is rich with gated drums, shimmering pads, and Bohlen’s melodic architecture. Studio monitors will reveal the full fingerprint—vocal layering, stereo depth, and the emotional microdynamics that define Anders’ delivery.

Visually, the cover is symbolic and serene: two doves—one white, one dark—facing each other against a soft gradient. It’s not just design—it’s duality. The typography is elegant and theatrical, echoing the album’s romantic tone.

Ready for Romance is not just a synth-pop album—it’s a sonic embrace. It honors the lyric, the fantasy, and the listener’s appetite for connection. It’s music that listens as deeply as it loves.
