Review
A very successful and knowledgeable blend of the worlds of pop and classical; orchestral music that in no way feels forced or unnatural. --Bob Woods, Director, Telarc

Review
[Ultra]Max always has an interesting and original twist on his tracks, and I see him going a long way. --DJ Judge Jules, BBC Radio 1

Review
Classical music is something that typically evokes groans of displeasure from college students, but I think UltraMax is onto something here. The TechnoClassica experience is proof that Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach will survive another generation, thanks to technology and the fusion of creative minds that I m sure those three composers would envy. --Centre Daily Times

Customer Reviews

not TSO nor even close
this album is nothing like TSO. if you like heavy "typical" techno beat this has it plus a ok opera singer. they could have done a better job of techno=fying the classics without making them sound like every other techno out there. not an album i would listen to the whole way through. the song "im attracted to you" is overly repeatitive mostly of the songs name. i do not know why people thing songs must repeat and ryme. repeatitive music/songs get deleted very fast, and some i take the time to use audacity and truncate. i did pay to see TSO live, i would not pay or even go for free to see this artist.

my copy has me very upset as it looks, and smells... letterally, like a pireted copy. all the cover art is on plain printer paper, you can see the inkjet printing lines, it is low dpi making it grainy. the cds are common CD-R printables with low quality inkjet printing on them. i have informed the artist of this.
