The band's repertoire includes several of his instrumental pieces. The famous blues "Cold Beer", a version of the song by Boris Grebenshchikov and the future "mitka" Vladimir Shinkarev, interpreted by Alexander based on the music of Jimi Hendrix, for a long time became a real calling card of the guitarist. In 1988-1990, "EXPERIMENTS" regularly performed in St. Petersburg halls, while Lyapin himself simultaneously recorded with Yuri Morozov, and played with "DDT".
