AllMusic[1]

Für immer (Forever) is the fifth album by Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, released in 1982. It was their last album for Virgin Records.

The band decided to split during the recording of Für immer, disillusioned with the reception of Gold und Liebe. Gabi Delgado and Robert Görl followed with the solo albums Mistress (Delgado) and Night Full of Tension (Görl).

The album was reissued on Mute Records in 1998.

Reception

The AllMusic Guide to Electronica calls it "defiantly non-melodic though not exactly harsh" and finds it a "disappointing album."[2] Trouser Press noted that the album is more varied than the two before it, with styles "from funk to rock'n'roll to distorted metal drone before returning to a dance blowout for the final track."[3]
