Press Reviews Totally Wired: 3/07/00 spaceman blue shift from fragile goose pimple melodies to Velvets style guitar and bass workouts with a precision and power that is a marvel to behold. Sweetly uplifting melodies against lush almost My Bloody Valentine style guitar washes. Steve Lamacq Radio 1 01/02 'ALASKA have serious potential'.
