In The Garden Of Venus – Limited Flaming Orange

🌌 Modern Talking – In the Garden of Venus (The 6th Album)

(Hansa Records, 1987 – Vinyl Edition)

Some albums sparkle. In the Garden of Venus glows. This LP is a bittersweet send-off from Germany’s synth-pop duo, Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders. With shimmering production, lush melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, the album leans into romantic escapism while hinting at creative fatigue.

Key tracks include:

• “In 100 Years” – futuristic and melancholic, a fan-favorite with orchestral synths
• “Don’t Let It Get You Down” – upbeat and affirming
• “Who Will Save the World” – socially conscious and dramatic
• “It’s Christmas” – a seasonal surprise with sentimental warmth
• “Love Is Lonely” – introspective and melodic
• “Heaven Will Know” – soaring and cinematic

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

Visually, the cover is surreal and luminous: a cascading waterfall under a radiant sunset sky, framed in purples, yellows, and blues. It’s not just design—it’s dreamscape. The typography is elegant and theatrical, echoing the album’s romantic tone.

In the Garden of Venus is not just a synth-pop album—it’s a curtain call. It honors the lyric, the fantasy, and the listener’s appetite for beauty. It’s music that listens as deeply as it escapes.
