I have been trying to figure what to write about this for a week.
Not that I don't like the music, but these pieces were written to be ringtones. Yes ringtones for mobile phones.
These are a series of interrelated short "tu/ones" that are kind of ambient and very atmospheric.
A little like the stuff Orff wrote for school orchestras in their apparent simplicity.
I keep finding myself playing the CD. Over and over.
Try the link and see what you think.
One of my favourites is Cascade NW by W which is the second one down on the left.

  i am checking it out as I type. Looks very interesting - I may have to cough up the $$$ for the CD.
  
  Cheers
  
  P.S. Are you heading to the Firekites gig on the 23rd Oct? There is some great live music hitting Bris at the mo'.

      I am heading in; thought it may be an opportunity for a meet-n-greet. Let me know if you are up for it.

      The is some decent music heading to Bris at the moment- Bamboos this Saturday; Misinterpretato doing a live recording at the Bris Jazz Club on Sat 25 Oct; The Panics on 7 Nov; and a whole heap of interesting stuff at the Powerhouse, including the Jazz festival. Whew. I'm gonna be a busy little puppy.

      Cheers

              My GF and I will both be there. I will check the times, but I think it is at 7:30. Will prob get there a little before 7:00.
              
              I am a little dirty that I will miss the Firekites. The Bowery - which I liked from first listen - has steadily grown on me. Ah, the things we do for work.
              
              Cheers

        I like the album(as well as his others) but I sure wish Max would have done some proper fades on a lot of these tracks. Some end so abruptly that it ruins the listening experience. It's as though he just pressed stop in the middle of some of the songs. i realize these are ringtones or whatever but he could've made this a little more user-friendly. I would not recommend this as a starting point into Max's music.

          I agree, interesting effort here, but I much prefer the Blue Notebooks.

          My girlfriend made me take it off as it was annoying her.
