Notes

"...Inspired by Paul van Dyk and Mozart UltraMax combines the power of beat with purity of Violins and Cellos creating dance music that is very driving, yet intelligent and melodic..."

Released in 2003 "Digital Bliss" was a collection of my 12 best tracks (including 2 songs from then non-yet-existing Technamericana CD). "Digital Bliss" was my first popular album and best-selling one. Many college and smaller radio stations played it, even worldwide. Record labels were not interested still (the advent of MP3 era took heavy toll on their business model) and I kept marketing the album myself. It sold several thousand copies until life circumstances made me to take a break from music activities. "Digital Bliss" is also the first album that was accompanied by a hugely successful 12" release with club edits of "Letting Go" and "Evocations of Happiness".

UltraMax and Paul van Dyk at Ultra Festival (Miami, 2003)Review

Well this certainly is the fusion between classical music and trance/techno. This is a big collection of some of UltraMax`s best songs and boy does it show. Each track is a perfect culmination of mind and body-bending dance music. Some of the acid lines are just amazing—dazzling arrays of twisted synths. “Love of the Violin” is perhaps the winner overall with its excellent mix of violins and classical compositions and trance. I originally heard of this album via TranceAddict.com and rightfully so as they very rarely give props to individual artists on their main page. If you are looking for something good to listen to after dancing all night or you want to relax in your bedroom then this is your album.
