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
After
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.
