Alpha Centaury – Alpha Centaury (1976) (@256)
24 Jan 2010
(Review from gepr.net, progarchives.com)
Alpha Centaury is a French band that recorded only a selftitled album in 1976.
Their slow, minor-key approach is reminiscent of “Asia Minor” in particular, though Alpha Centaury’s overall feel is that of 70s progressive. The guitar’s lush sound is sometimes reminiscent of Hackett and the keyboards are leaning on a cross Genesis’s Banks and Floyd’s Wright.
There is that darkness that was prevalent with other French bands, but “Alpha Centuary” have more of a jazz influence mixed with a bit of spacey, almost psychedelic, element. There is even a bit of an operatic tinge in some of the vocals.

- Daniel Abherve / drums
- Serge Nevez / keyboards, vocals
