3D, MASSIVE ATTACK "The Melankolic label heroes; a band of beautiful understated charm, good friends and fellow strugglers." ... ALTERNATIVE PRESS "Masterfully crafted torch songs, coated with a thin layer of orchestral gloss and trip-hop beats that stand out as unique."... CD NOW "Few bands exceed Alpha in the creation of truly encompassing and sensual chill-out tunes."... POPMATTERS "Alpha have a knack for lush, floating textures whose less beat-oriented groove emphasizes the "trip" component of so-called trip-hop."
