4 stars This record is slightly sentimental, perfect for the young intellectual teenagers we were, dreaming of some comprehensive girls and some good jobs to do as a living. When I listen again to this nowadays, I always think about the 80's, recalling how enthusiastic we were about our future! Actually when you listen to the melodic and modern epic keyboards, to the catchy and addictive lead & backing vocals, to the melodic electric guitars and the modest drums, you just say to yourself: "it was a privilege for us to have such a great record to wholeheartedly listen". This record was like a model, it was truly appreciated since we were beginning to meet girls. It was not rare to notice many garage bands try to play their songs. In order of comparison, let's mention the prog band Pallas sounds a bit like them. All the instruments on Alpha form a solid ensemble, and you just listen to the music as a whole. One may qualify this album as being accessible, and the songs are not extremely progressive. The music is rather simple, barely progressive, and definitely not complex.

Rating: 4.5 stars
