This compilation features 7 records: Next, Alpha, Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow, Cold Day Memory, Black Out the Sun, Time Travelers & Bonfires, and Kill the Flaw.
This has cohesion and a slow-burning eroticism as well as Alpha’s trademark ’70s AM gold popcraft, capturing both the Bacharachian mood as well as the songs.
Where Massive Attack excel in dark, disturbing thumps of electronic boom, Alpha dwell in the nostalgic world of ’60s lounge-pop made hip by Burt Bacharach.
