MAXIMUS & FELIX
"THE LIGHT FROM NORTH"
Blue Flame / BMG
This work is an impressive symphony performed with synthesizers and classical orchestra, whose 13 pieces include widely different styles, though mostly portraying New Instrumental Music. There are some passages of majestic orchestral music resembling the kind of music typical of the Hollywood movie soundtracks, other passages near to Pop and still others of a symphonic-cosmic character, the melody being always the protagonist. Although Maximus and Felix, the two musicians integrating this duo, possess their own style each, their way of combining synthesizers with the classical orchestra is quite similar to that of such artists as Vangelis or Kitaro.
