Roaming far from its Spiritual Jazz roots, WEB MAX Il is, musically and emotionally, probably the most diverse distillation of what WEB WEB has created in its 7 years of existence. "We don't want to tread water," says Max Herre. "Our mantra this time was to let the inside guide us and freely explore and sound out the musical spectrum that fascinates Roberto (Di Gioia) and me when it comes to instrumental music and connected us for many years." Di Gioia adds: "With Max, I'm able to move through the most diverse styles like with no-one else and still always coming up with something original. He has the gift of transforming small musical sketches into a grand narrative. He's a visionary, music with him always becomes more imperative, never arbitrary." From the initial sketches a musical cosmos has formed in which complex Jazz compositions, cinematic motifs and West African polyrhythms encounter a board of instruments that expand the framework of a classical Jazz quartet in new and surprising ways. In addition to instruments borrowed from classical music, such as bassoon or bass clarinet, sounds of the musical-technical revolution of the 70s appear over and over again in the production, e.g. a Mellotron, the first sampler in music history operated with tapes ("6th Dimension" "Olobo") or an original EMS Synthi Hi-Fly ("Look Beyond The Sun"). In this sense, WEB MAX Il is more a producer's album than its predecessor, without losing any of the group's immediacy and emotionality.
