Review: Steven Lorenz' label presents an expansive album from Maxim that teases house and techno into new forms. From the ambient opener, "Call", into the dubbed out, mysterious techno of "Secret Society" and "Projections", his dusty collaboration with ENL, Alone Amongst shows that Maxim brings a fresh perspective to electronic music. On the title track, Maxim raises the tempo, but doesn't lose his cavernous sound thanks to the use of found sounds and emotive strings. Meanwhile, at the other end of the tempo spectrum, Maxim delivers a seductive, soft-focus downtempo track on "Of Us". Not even the clubby remix of "Alone Amongst Company" by Tension can trump Maxim's music.
