Alpha Ralpha were a short-lived band with Michel Mareska on electric guitar, Claude Alvarez-Peryre on electric and acoustic guitars, Jean Alain Gardet on keyboards, Charlie Charriras on bass and Emmanuel Lacordaire on percussion. On their only album, four more musicians appeared: Francois Breant on piano and synth, Jean de Anthony and Claude Samard on guitars, and Jean-Jaques Goldman on vocals. Alvarez-Peryre, a co-founder of the group was a member of Malicorne, while Gardet and Goldman were the members of Tai Phong. The band released only one album, the self-titled LP released for Warner in Canada and France in 1977. Their music could be described as a mixture of jazz rock and French symphonic, where guitars are keyboards are carrying the melodies for the most part, with occasional usage of vibraphone and marimba, and vocal harmonies.

Genre: Electronic, Berlin School, Ambient | RAR 3% Rec. | Label: Syn-Music (SYN-CD 94-01)

This album, described as Ambient/Space-Music/Meditation, is composed and arranged by Chris Höppner, with a little help from Peter Mergener. 'The Ring' sets an ethereal scene effectively before 'Start to the Worlds' carries on in he same vein. Sweeping synthscapes, weird effects, cosmic callings. The expected elements but well put together. 'World of Caves' opens with more spacey sounds which, if anything, are even better than those featured in the opening two tracks. Three minutes in and the track switches to a sequencer & improvised lead outing which to be truthful is not that brilliant, but it only lasts a couple of minutes and the track ends as it started with more ethereal synth…

An old rule says that musicians usually write their best material when they leave all commercial considerations, market analyses and the public’s supposed expectations aside and simply follow their innermost artistic instinct. Which is precisely how Alpha Tiger from Freiberg in Saxony went about writing and recording their most recent oeuvre, and the result is an offering that’s as impressive as it is surprising: their latest, self-titled release sounds rock-oriented and melodic, anthemnic and diverse, and – thanks to its completely analogue production – wonderfully organic.

Denmark’s four leading composers – Poul Ruders, Per Nørgård, Bent Sørensen and Hans Abrahamsen - have allowed the experimental trio Alpha to take their music behind the looking glass and let their works re-emerge in the trio’s very own sound world. Played and recorded entirely by heart, Alpha’s close encounter with the musical essences of seven different works seems to reveal the form and richness of each composer’s imagination in a new magical reflection.

Alpha was written by the songwriting tandem of John Wetton and Geoff Downes, with the exception of "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes", which was written by Wetton alone. Alpha was recorded during the spring of 1983 at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec and Manta Sound in Toronto.

Dans l’esprit traditionnel du reggae, le grand Alpha Blondy fait paraître Positive Energy avec des titres comme Rainbow In the Sky ou encore Freedom. Le chanteur ivoirien n’en oublie pas pour autant d’être engagé, dans Maclacla Macloclo par exemple : « Ce qui a tué Maclacla va tuer Macloclo. Les mêmes causes produisent les mêmes effets » à travers une triste énumération historico-politique : « Tyrannie démocratique, génocide démocratique, tortures démocratiques… ».

Following the success of their highly regarded self-titled debut, the original supergroup made up of four members of different '70s progressive rock bands, including lead vocalist and bassist John Wetton of King Crimson, guitarist Steve Howe of Yes, keyboardist Geoff Downes of Yes and The Buggles, and drummer Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Alpha. The album was certified platinum in the US and silver in Britain by the BPI and eventually sold over two million copies. Released in 1983, one year before the departure of guitarist Steve Howe, this would be the last album with the band's original line-up.Alpha focused more on mainstream pop/rock sounds, and is less characterized by progressive rock elements than its predecessor. The album reached #6 on the Billboard album chart and Top Five in the UK Albums Chart. The lead single, "Don't Cry," was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and returned the band to #1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.
