When Max released his first commercial recording with the band Terra Incognita, it was praised by the Village Voice in a feature article that led their music section, and it has been credited with inspiring a movement in alternative music.
Although Max performed and recorded his original music throughout the 1980s and 90s in San Francisco and elsewhere, as leader of Terra Incognita and Wickiup, until very recently he had neither the freedom nor the resources to achieve his dauntingly ambitious musical vision.
But he continued - and continues - to write new material, learning and mastering new instruments and technologies, and these new solo recordings represent the first installment in a planned series offering, for your enjoyment, hundreds of compositions of mind-boggling diversity, inventiveness, and passion, none of which has ever been satisfactorily recorded or commercially released until now.

"he is an explorer, guiding through the strange past, shooting forwards into a future that shapeshift shivers , motorcycle throb, falling glass tension, torchlight in the dark soothing sometimes,whispering sensual danger too.
"he plays with words,juggles images, combines the pop detachment of the new wave with the healthy intrusion of world rythmns
"he is the sly professor concocting joyful experiments, he flirts with new sounds old instruments, the electro, the ambient, the post punk
"he is ambitous, yet serene, giddy yet somehow always quite subtle
"he has two albums out at the same time and he is all over the NBTMusicRadio"
