'Alphaville' is a German synthpop band created in 1982. While there was a Spanish band with the same name since 1980, it does not seem to have been plagiarism but both were inspired by the French film Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (known in Spanish as "Lemmy contra Alphaville" or simply "Alphaville", Jean-Luc Godard, 1965), where it is a city controlled by the Alpha 60 computer that also dominates the minds of its inhabitants.
