Reviews
"Fomitchev's trance music - which blends classical instrumentation with pulsing techno beat - can be described as ideal soundtrack for cruising the solar system via one's mind." -- Tulsa World
After introducing you guys and gals to the wonders of underground dance king Ultra Max via his “Digital Bliss” album, I was really looking forward to hear the progression of the Ultra Max sound. What I was presented with was something so special I couldn’t hide my joy at hearing “Arwen’s Song (Galadriel)” with its progressive uplifting stamp of trance that builds slowly to a fine crescendo of huge dance bliss. This particular song features a great sample from Russian operetta star Eugenia Zamchalova taken from Pavel Fomitchev’s “Galadriel” composed of lyrics in Tolkien’s Elvish language. He also remixes the classic “Charleston”, the great “St. Louis Blues” by W.C. Handy, and “Summertime” which is a remix of the ’34 classic. I’d expect nothing but great dance music from Ultra Max based on their previous work and I’m certainly not disappointed. Neither will you.

Well this certainly is the fusion between classical music and trance/techno. This is a big collection of some of Ultramax`s best songs and boy does it show. Each track is a perfect culmination of mind and body-bending dance music. Some of the acid lines are just amazing—dazzling arrays of twisted synths. “Love of the Violin” is perhaps the winner overall with its excellent mix of violins and classical compositions and trance. I originally heard of this album via TranceAddict.com and rightfully so as they very rarely give props to individual artists on their main page. If you`re looking for something good to listen to after dancing all night or you want to relax in your bedroom then this is your album.

One person creates the music of Ultramax, and that is Max I Formitchev. He creates blissful electronics that have a techno feel mixed with classic touches. His music is intelligent and speaks in electronic beats. His music reminds me of a cross between Robert Miles and Moby. The songs have smooth beats that are made for dancing. "Consequential" starts out with string sounds that go from calm to more fierce sounds mixed in with techno beats but it is more focused on the classical atmosphere and fusion. With these songs you get a very Space like vibe, with such tracks as "The Call of Stars" which is has more techno beats and downbeat piano synth sounds. This song has more of a dramatic feel that goes up and down. This is one of my favorite tracks on the CD. "Fatalism" sends of a darker feel from the beginning, but kicks back up with the smooth beats and send out uncertainties to the listener. "Asteroid" sends out sort of a x-file feel and a feel of riding around in space. In this song there are a lot of fun electronic sounds. I like how the programming has this medium like tempo that just glides and bounces along. You won’t hear a lot of voice sounds into "Automatic". This song feels like a space video game, and has those video game sounds, and more on "Feel my Desire" and the next track. The album does a good job of having good techno songs, techno songs with classical touches. I believe Max has given us a good fusion of sounds along with mini adventures through space.
