The First Three Sins of Far From Home
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Max Enix and his album, Far From Home
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features of various tempos, tones that utilize virtuoso riffs/multi-cords, rhythms and melodic passages. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involve multiple tones, ranges, and clean male/female singing/operatic sections. The Third Sin—The Percussions: This involves a vast world of various tempos, fills, beats/strikes and patterns from the drums.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Magical spark of beauty, epic, grand, bold, and breathless sensation
Immediately after pressing that button, the listener is welcomed to the opening piece, The End Of An Era, the introductory instrumental, and the remaining thirteen pieces, where Max Enix takes the listener on a concept journey.
Far From Home is not just an album; it reflects our world. It explores potential futures and their consequences, delving into the beauty of Life while also addressing the human condition, spirituality, and societal issues. The album denounces human stupidity on specific points and advocates against actions like corruption, conditioning, oppression, tyranny, exploitation, forced work, domination, the law of ‘do or die’, religious fanaticism, divisions, violence, and indifference. It’s a thought-provoking journey that invites you to ponder these pressing issues.
While Max Enix‘s music may not be everyone’s cup of tea, this album is a must-listen for those who appreciate avant-garde music and the ‘Beyond music and words’ musical spectrum. It’s not just a unique musical journey; it’s an exhilarating one that will leave you wanting more and eagerly anticipating each new track.
Prepare to be whisked away to a world of epic proportions as you embark on this musical journey. Far From Home is a special release that will enchant your ears, heart, and soul. It’s an experience that’s best savoured without skipping any tracks. So, find that perfect moment, settle in, and let this captivating musical spectrum wash over you.
At the same time, Far From Home is delivered and provided by impressive and skilled (all wrapped professionally/sophisticated arrangements) devilmanship, and not just Max but a handful of guests that give the listener this fruit of art release. It consists of incredible music, instrumentation, lyrics, and story concepts that are all well-executed, beautifully scored, and composed, and each composition/characteristic is convenient to place at the right moment.
Far From Home is a fusion of musical elements you’ve never heard of. It’s an awe-inspiring multi-verse of instrumentation artistry, with technical guitar and drum work that utilizes various tones, tempos, and rhythms.
The vocal work is equally diverse, with multiple tones and ranges and clean male/female singing/operatic sections. This unique blend of musical elements makes this album an authentic fruit of art.
In contrast, one will find other elements within the musical spectrum, instrumentals, and vocals (pull the music together!), which include progressive-symphonic-post rock/metal, film scores/sound effects with diverse aspects of world/New Age, hip hop, Jazz, international variety, and others.
Finish note: If you want to dive deeper into the music, grab some headphones (I suggest this to capture the piece’s atmosphere), turn off all modern devices, and find the right moment to drift away and relax. The orchestral version of Far From Home, recorded with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, will offer a unique sound and atmosphere—much more epic, emotional, engaged, and complex/hard songs this time than before.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Far From Home. We want to give a shoutout to Max Enix for letting us review his Far From Home album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins of Max Enix and his album, Far From Home
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia:
For us, Far From Home is a compelling and astonishing result—with a magical spark of beauty, epic, grand, bold, and breathless sensation. At the same time, the Orchestral version of Far From Home hit me and transported me away to somewhere tranquil and the loss of time. Honestly, the second part is unique and breathtakingly beautiful.
Take a moment to listen to both versions—simultaneously, the piano work gives me that Freddie Mercury, and sometimes, sections of the music (within the songs) give that (German acts) Helloween/Gamma Ray vibe -spine-chilling sensation.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
Eye-catching artwork captures the whole story—simultaneously, the inlay art captures each song of their story…
The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:
Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of Max Enix and his album, Far From Home. Therefore, this concludes Max Enix and his album, Far From Home review.
