Funnily enough I knew Max when we were kids. My dad worked for his dad and I went to their (big) house a few times. I remember them building a synth from a kit. He went to a different school (the expensive kind) so I did not see much of him and we did not stay in touch. It's great to see he has done so well.
I hear similarities to Michael Nyman and maybe Philip Glass (one of my favourites) in his music. That is no bad thing. I know he does some pretty experimental stuff.
Cheers
