Alpha is a trip hop/electronica group, comprising founder member Corin Dingley, Wendy Stubbs and Peter Wild - founder member Andy Jenks left the set-up before the release of their most recent album "The Sky Is Mine". The duo of Dingley and Jenks formed Alpha in 1996 after working on various projects in the Bristol area; from where trip-hop originated and which also included Massive Attack and Portishead. Like Massive Attack, Alpha recruited singers to add vocals to their downtempo, beat-driven compositions of the late 1990's, 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.
