Biography
Andrey Alexandrov (31) a.k.a ZIRREX is one of the pioneers of Russian psy-trance scene and one of its most unique and distinctive artists. He started making his music in 1995 strongly influenced by uprising world trance scene and top projects like Hallucinogen, Astral Projection, Cosmosis, Trancewave, Total Eclipse etc. Originally a professional guitarist he managed to combine his previous musical experience (classic rock, neo-classic rock) with latest developments in modern electronic sound, creating his own distinctive sound, which boasted to be both melodic and twisted.
Until 1999 he played on numerous parties in Russia and was considered to be one of the top projects on Russian scene and undoubtedly most recognizable one, due to his full power positive sound and remarkable energetic live sets. In 1998 he released his debut double CD "Lost In Time" album which consisted of almost all killer tracks he wrote during his 3 years of stage experience. This album was a total success in Russia and became very popular among psy-people (you can hardly find a person in Russia who's been in trance longer than 5 years and who doesn't have this album in his collection or at least it's pirate copy) The secret of success was surely in uniqueness and quality of his music - i bet there was no cd more powerful and stunning on local scene in 1998 than any of 2 CD's of "Lost In Time". Unfortunately this release didn't came outside of Russia due to releasing label's bankruptcy and plenty of distribution and financial problems.
