The Impossible Thrill, 2003. Still, 04:07. Dim, 04:57. The Impossible Thrill underscores Alpha's knack for lush, floating textures whose less beat-oriented groove emphasizes the trip component of so-called trip-hop. Read full review. Few bands exceed Alpha in the creation of truly encompassing and sensual chill-out tunes, and while The Impossible Thrill fails to really explore new territory, it's revisiting familiar and hallowed ground. Critic Score. It seems that their second album has run out of ideas, leaving the trip-pop hybrid naked in a world that look, matters. 4mo
