"Resurrection" was the first album I created
after leaving Russia. I was convinced that my music was bad and thus was
afraid to take another chance. But as fate would have it, new music software
and tons of cool samples materialized before me and the temptation overcame
the fear. This album was a true work of inspiration. Although my skill was
lacking the ideas proved good as to my utter amazement many folks still
prefer this album to my later composition.
Review
One person creates the music of UltraMax, and
that is Max I. Fomitchev. 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.
