Alexandria by Louisa John-Krol

a jewel in the field of romantic ethereal-pop fairy music"

(L'Ame Electrique Magazine, Greece)

'Beauty, grace, passion and excellence are the hallmarks of Alexandria' (Celestial Voices, England)

'A canny fusion of ambience, folk and classical.... a haunting music sensation... setting myth and poetry to soaring vocals' (Melbourne Times)

'between Dead-Can-Dance and Enya...Louisa's voice can easily compete with the finest artists of the genre'

(Tranceform, Germany)

'Alexandria reveals a pronounced esoteric and ambient side, but the fascination for other styles like classical music is omnipresent'

(Side-Line Magazine, Belgium)

'Eerie... dreamy... soothing... Its ethereal folk sound comes from an echoing mixture of instruments... Adding to the atmosphere are lyrics full of mysterious storytelling.'

(Rhythms Magazine, Australia)

'A magic potion that gives life to all those mysterious characters from the fringes of reality... full of vivacious incantation inspired from mellifluous rumors from the faery lands and the literary world.... a tasty cocktail of Myth by this Australian voice treasure.'

(FAO CASA Gazette, Rome)

Alexandria's title-track is a tribute to Milton & Cavafy; music adapted from 15th century piece 'Baixa dansa Barcelona'.

Words from cherished listeners:

"If I would meet my Creator I know she would be singing your music." (Lance, USA)

'...on a clear, star-filled night, Alexandria was playing on the Ardfern penninsular, off the Mull of Kintyre at the Westernmost reaches of Scotland from one millenium to the next.'(Mike Robinson, Edinburgh)

'You have a crystalline voice. Thanks for making perfect music for my own dreaming.'(Craig Gidney, Washington D.C.)

'A few people create things that will stand forever. Your work will continue on for many life times if not literally forever.'(David Bagby, California)
