Alexander Kostruba - The Secret (Really Really Big Records)
Release Date: February 29th, 2008
Reviewed: 3/5
User Rating: 3.7/5

Really Really Big Records bring us Alexander Kostruba - The Secret EP

Kicking off with the secret there is some real mystery to the tune, starting with a very simple lead and beat, this track begins to widen. The tingley after intro is a nice touch and some analogue monopad is used to create a lead.
It has a very european sound too it and mixes with a soundtrack sinclair would of been proud of in those early computer days this not to paint to bad a picture as the final production has some real nice elements. Still there is alot here and it might be questionable as to whether this all mixes together well enough to grace whats expected of the top dance compilations these days.

Next is "Manifest", and the intro has some real elbow to it, edgy and fresh, this graining number hit me by surprise actually as the pad came in to give a great soundtrack vibe about it, still by the time the main drive of the track is back in it did slip more into a B-side sounding composition, this would really profit for some nice remixes but frankly i feel there it nothing to this in this original form, elements of this i do say are breathtaking tho.

Hope i dont scare people off this one as their is promise here, if extremes shape the future of our music then this might well be the dark horse for influence. Let say Alexander Kostruba obviously isnt short of imagination!!
