Did they drop from space? - By: C. Coomber, 11 Aug 2008 
This "band" dropped from space, or have been trapped somewhere for over 50 years, these is the only logical reasons i can think of that they must have travelled many many miles from their home planet still thinking that everyone on earth still dress like a 1950's sitcom. Then try & set a style when they land with some of he worst music i have ever had the misfortune of listening to.
Alphabeat = Amazing - By: A. Noble, 04 Aug 2008 
Debut album from Danish group Alphabeat. I have seen them perform live twice now, they would have to be the pop band of today. Great songs, great live performers!! Fascination is pop at it's best, along with the new single Boyfriend. Great 80's influenced band. One group to watch out for!!
a lovely upbeat guilty pleasure - By: spike, 28 Jul 2008 The alphabeat album is bound to help lift the gloom of those who had a hard days work with poppy upbeat tracks like "10,00 nights of thunder" & "fascination" which are popular updated throw backs to the 80's when the commitments, housemartins & everything 80's music had to offer but thankfully without the ott fashion statements.
Disappointing Rehash - By: Lee Kelly, 07 Jul 2008 This is not the original album. Three of the best tracks have been removed (Into the Jungle, Ocean Blue & The Hours) & replaced with sloppy generic synth-pop dribble (Gogo, Public Image & Touch me touching you). Get your hands on the original. Its much better than this one.
At once frothy and retro - By: C. Porter, 24 Jun 2008 
A great album, all high-octane Scissor Sister-esque camp one moment & full-of-itself grandeur the next.
"Go-Go" & "Boyfriend" sound like True Blue-era Madonna, having a mix with Opportunities-era Pet Shop Boys, whilst "10,000 Nights" & "Fascination" could have been on the last SS's album.
There's also a Grease soundtrack / rockabilly thing going on, which resurrects the shades of Aqua & <
> The Cartoons, but there's a great sense of genuine fun & songwriting nous which elevates this album way beyond any of that.
The male vocalist has a kind of twang to his delivery that put mein mind of the lead vocalist of The Tubes ('Fee' Waybill) - no bad thing,in my book.
I didn't expect to like this, to be honest, but it has an inevitability & joie de vivre that's simply irresistible, as Robert Palmer once said.
Yes, there are other acts exploring similar ground, but this lot have the smack of authenticity about them.
Fun!
