The duo of Dingley and Jenks formed Alpha in 1996 they were originally called Ariel after working on various projects in the Bristol area. Alpha recruited singers Wendy Stubbs, Martin Bernard, Helen White and Kelvin Swaby now of The Heavy to add vocals to their downtempo, beat-driven compositions of the late 1990s, which led to them being included in the category of “Post Trip-Hop”. “ComeFromHeaven”, their debut LP was the first release on Massive Attack’s Melankolic label in 1997. They are currently on Don’t Touch Recordings, a label they founded and have released a further eight albums to date including the very exciting collaboration with Horace Andy ’ Two Phazed People’ which is getting outstanding reviews. check it all here www.alphaheaven.com New Alpha album The Eleventh Trip due for release in 2012

This music is sooooo... Canadian. Even though they are not. But their music is crowded with wood and with lakes. Almost to the point that I often don't manage to connect with their music. Nevertheless, they sound unlike anyone else in "trip-hop" (if you accept that they would be trip-hop one bit....)
