Album First Listen: Maxime Alexander – Ma14 (1991)

It's not often that we are totally blown away by a piece of music which comes through our promotional inbox. We stumbled upon this one by chance and it could very easily have been missed. However, for some reason it stood out upon a glance. The accompanying website which provided us with the release information was designed with a stunning sense of aesthetic and the release itself has great promise. Maxime Alexander, a newcomer, is based in Cape Town, South Africa and has crafted a six track release which could have come straight from any major label. It's dynamic, edgy and beautiful. Each track has a sense of depth and intrigue which is not so usually found in a debut release. Everything about the 1991 label is encouraging, from the subtle brand design and cover art to the music featured. This is a very strong opener, expect big things:
