Review

I couldnt hide my joy at "Arwen's Song" with uplifting trance building a crescendo of huge dance bliss... --J-Sin, Smother.net, May 1, 2004

Product Description

UltraMax "Technamericana" album contains cutting edge techno / dance remixes of classic American songs. Going further than Moby both in terms of style and concept, UltraMax blends the edge between the turn of the 20th century classics and hard-driven club beats. In "Technamericana" UltraMax supercharges George Gershwin's "Summertime", W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues", Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and J.P. Johnson's big band smash-hit "Charleston" with new energy making these treasures accessible and enjoyable to young generation. Also included in the album are house / dance remix of Willie Nelson's country hit "Crazy" and several original songs. Especially worth mentioning is "Arwen's Song", a J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired epic dance composition featuring renowned Russian operetta star Eugenia Zamchalova. Zamchalova sings Tolkien's poetry in Elvish on music by Pavel Fomitchov blending high esoteric opera with deep underground techno. Even the album cover (designed by the artist) constitutes to a work of art and presents both a challenge and a subtle tribute to American consumerism.

Incredibly refreshing. It's wonderful to hear that creative young artists are still finding new ways to reinvent the medium.
