British electronic duo (Glyn Thomas, Richard Woolgar), active 1999–2003; released B.A.S.I.C. (2000/2001) and White Noise (2002); collaborated with Brian Molko on Carbon Kid; sound steeped in 80s synthpop aesthetics.

A single review tackles Alpinestars’ White Noise with a critical eye. It highlights heavy 80s influences (New Order, Depeche Mode, Moroder) and notes the Brian Molko feature on Carbon Kid. Despite the references, the album is judged disjointed and underwhelming.
