ALEXON Studio Grand Opening Madison Heights, MI, February 22, 2000 "Today the music industry will be forever impacted" claims Steve Kretzmer, managing partner of ALEXON Studio. "For many, many years the progressive music scene has been diluted with crossover rock bands and jazz acts. With the advent of ALEXON Studio will come the resurgence of the progressive music we grew up with in the 1970's". In conjunction with Bill Andrews(Alonesoul Productions), ALEXON Studio will begin the promotion of progressive music. Its digital studio capabilities will be used in the production of new progressive music works as well as the audio resortation of music from the 1970's. The first scheduled CD-EP release, Kobolds, will mark Steve Kretzmer's return to the progressive music scene. "Just like Lennon I have been a good house husband and I'm itching to get back into the act". And just like Lennon, Steve Kretzmer's life long friend and musical "McCartney" partner Steve Gore is overjoyed with S.K.'s return. "It was the partnership of Lennon and McCartney which made the Beatles great, so too with Steve's return ... the Rascal Reporters will finally get the respect and praise from fans and fellow musicians alike", Gore rejoices. |
