Embrya is the 1998 album by soul vocalist Maxwell, his second full length effort. Released on 30 June, 1998 through Columbia Records, this was the follow-up to his debut, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite and featured the singles "Luxury:Cococure" and "Matrimony:Maybe You".

I can't tell you how impressive this piece of music is ! It's one song almost 39 minutes long called "Prometheus". This is an all instrumental work consisting of mellotron, flute, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, organ and more. This is very complex music that is very intense. In the liner notes the band specifically thanks "ANGLAGARD for inspiring this project". And certainly that is who I thought of most of the time I listened to this amazing work as well as SINKADUS.

Next Limit has released an updated Maxwell Render Studio 4.1. Maxwell Render has long had a reputation for its high-quality results, but at the expense of speed. However, this version demonstrates that Next Limit has listened to its users, adding major speed enhancements alongside many other changes.

Next Limit has released an updated Maxwell Render Studio 4.2. The last version (4.2.0.2) had a couple of nasty bugs so we have quickly fixed them and built new versions of Maxwell Render, Studio and all the 3D integrations. It is version 4.2.0.3.

Shawn Maxwell’s New Tomorrow is a quintet made up of five of Chicago’s finest musicians. Performing all original material, they specialize in a style of jazz that is heavily influenced and blended with several other modern genres. Focusing on composition just as much as improvisation, they reveal stunning melodies hidden within complex time signatures. This new approach in Maxwell’s writing brings a perfect blend of composition and improvisation for a new direction in jazz.

Let's Not Play The Game is the CD5 by American soul vocalist Maxwell. This was released by Columbia in 1999 in support of the soundtrack to the motion picture, The Best Man, and features four different mixes of the song, including "Uncut", "Unsung", and "Justsung", translated as "full length", "instrumental", and "acapella".

Put on your dancing shoes and jive the night away. Standards like In the Mood and When the Saints Come Marching In will put a new lift in your step. Instrumentation includes saxophones, trumpets, trombones, French horn, piano, guitar, bass & drums. When I was a kid, back in the '60's, my dad listened to a group of records called "The Swing Era"… I believe from Time-Life. I grew up loving the swing rhythms and stylings of "Little Brown Jug", "Take The 'A' Train, and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" as they popped and hissed out of our giant console stereo. I've tried digitally remastered versions of the originals, like "Glenn Miller-A Memorial", but have always been disappointed by, well, the pops and hiss, and the generally low fidelity that these great old songs were recorded with… not their fault! But "In The Big Band Mood" faithfully recaptures the music in new recordings by Michael Maxwell and his orchestra, and their rendition of what I consider to be one of the most perfect pieces of music of all time - "In The Mood" - is excellent. I highly recommend this album!
