Inspired by films such as The Ipcress File, Get Carter, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Funeral In Berlin and The Day Of The Jackal, The Alpha Tapes evokes a cloak and dagger world of treachery and skullduggery with its mix of experimental electronica and cinematic orchestration.

Transfiguration is one man, Dave Sherman, from Manchester, and the album features two vocal contributions from Roger of The Montgolfier Brothers.
