(CNN) -- Berlin is still around, and the band that first hit it big in the 1980s is hoping to capitalize this summer on the recent resurgence in music from that decade.

The band plans to tour the United States, starting in May, and they just finished a new, as-yet-untitled album of original material that they're shopping to various record companies. Some of the songs were written by lead singer Terri Nunn with Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. They've also been selling independently a CD called "Fall Into Heaven," featuring remixes of some of their hits.

It's the busiest the band has been since they were at their peak in the mid-1980s. After their debut EP, 1983's "Pleasure Victim," went gold, Berlin followed with their first LP, 1984's "Love Life," which featured the hit "No More Words."

In 1986, Berlin scored a No. 1 single with "Take My Breath Away," from the soundtrack to "Top Gun." The band broke up for a spell after that, but the '90s have been witness to a slow Berlin revival that will reach a new peak with this summer's tour.

"We're booked through the summer," says Terri Nunn, lead singer in the group. "I love it. It's great for me in my life right now."

It's an interesting time for Nunn. Along with pushing for renewed interest in her band, she freely admits that, now in her "late 30s," she's hitting her sexual peak, and it's translating to her work.

"It's all I can write about, it's all I can think about, and a lot of the new record is about that," Nunn says.

Nunn has clear goals for Berlin and its upcoming tour.

"One is to expose or express the sexuality of a woman, as opposed to the sexuality of a girl, which is what Berlin used to be about," she says. "And also to get people to understand the drug that is music. The truth about human beings is we like to get high, so I want to make the concert experience as much of a true high as I can get it to be. If I can make that happen to people, it would be a fun, easy way to get blasted."
