Notes

Did you ever wonder how George Gershwin's music (Summertime) will sound in a club? Or if it is possible to combine the roaring 20s Big Band classic (St. Louis Blues, So Sweet / Charleston) with techno? Or how about J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired trance with operatic vocals (Arwen's Song) sung by Russian operetta star Eugenia Zamchalova in... Elvish? Taking after Moby UltraMax sings (with equal miserable results) in W.C. Handy's classic Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

Review

Eugenia ZamchalovaArwenAfter introducing you guys and gals to the wonders of underground dance king UltraMax 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.
