In the late 80s I used to go record shopping every weekend with my brother. We would hit all the usual spots in New York City that carried anything New Wave or EBM. Places like Rebel Rebel, Bleeker Bobs, Discomania, St. Mark’s Sounds, Vinylmania and Tower were always stop off spots. We stopped going when we started to get good at making music ourselves. After years of buying and listening carefully our schooling was over. It was our turn to make the music. Alexander’s first record is far better than anyone else’s first try. In fact, right off the bat he was fully qualified to be released. The lyrics he came up with were smart and fit Things to Come Records visions of the future. If you don’t know these songs you are in for a real treat.

I always thought Alex have really a lot of talent for making music,when we had chance to work togheter.I just knew some of those tracks and i had the confirmation by listening those again.
I really look forward to hear some new track from him soon.
Although he’s hard working as a Dr. these days I know his music making days are not over.
