*Fireworks Magazine (The Biggest UK Mag) / MASTERPIECE "The whole venture be extremely rewarding ! You will requiere patience and multiple listens before the album reveals all of its secrets, but if you have the time to do so you will discover a record that is deeply affecting. Moving on the orchestral version of the Album. The rearranged versions of these songs sound like the greatest version of a Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore soundtrack from a film that you've never seen and they are richly rewarded in their own right. Sweeping and Epic. I would not be surprised if the composer was hired to produce the music for big Hollywood Blockbusters in the very near future. If there was a remake of "Lawrence of Arabia" , Enix would be the man I'd ask to do the music."

Excerpt:
The orchestral version is what it says, the songs were recorded in orchestral style and are reminiscent of the soundtrack of the Schwarzenegger film "Conan".
In conclusion, a varied work with many twists and intelligent compositions. The entire album is worth a listen.
*Finish note, if one wants to go deeper within the music, grab some headphones (I suggest this to capture the atmosphere of the piece), turn off all modern devices, and find that right moment to drift away and relax with the orchestral version of “Far From Home,” which was recorded with the “Budapest Symphony Orchestra” will offer a unique sound and atmosphere—much more epic, emotional, engaged and complex/hard songs this time than before. https://metal1on1.squarespace.com/metal/max-enix?fbclid=IwAR2-bEccYhb3bUtJJImY0Q9Es6eQnvltALGCmQyZ6i9UtbqicUgb5fkgtt0
*DPRP: Its synchronously offered orchestral version, available separately or as a package deal with the release described above, adds a whole new view and complementary experience. It was recorded with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and contains a completely instrumental, immaculate performance of the total concept, with exclusive sound effects and choirs that narrate the story. Recognisable through recurring melodies and themes, it offers unique transformed sounds and atmospheres. The serene breeze of Angels Of The Apocalyptic Storm is a striking example, which will delight those in favour of film scoring composers likes John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Philip Glass.
https://www.bluestownmusic.nl/review-max-enix-far-from-home/ Awesome Review (nl) ! Excerpt: Try to imagine a mix of Jeff Wayne's War Of The World, Hans Zimmer's film music, the prog rock of Dream Theater and the sound of Ayreon and you will get an idea of what to expect on this album. Max's powerful and sensitive vocals along the double Album. Far From Home by Max Enix is a very impressive concept album and an album that should easily find a place in the collection of every progmetal fan! The very beautifully designed textbook should also be mentioned.

-84% Excellent Review by Via Nocturna (Portugal): "I was thrown into the idea of this album by Max Enix, Far From Home: with three hours of music, an endless list of guests, with the Bupapest Symphony Orchestra leading a set of gigantic songs and with the most unexpected twists and turns. Far From Home is an album that revisits various musical scenes, some of them outside the metal spectrum, such as some passages of hip hop, jazz or new age. A creative and instrumental richness (with a highlight for the sensational piano textures) always accompanied by symphonic, orchestral and choral elements, for all the vocal diversity imprinted by a group of vocalists, each one as its own record."
-8,3/10 by Profil Prog (Canada): "A titanic work with inevitable redundancies on the titles, their lengths and structures which should not be synthesized too quickly; we talk about the beauty of life, faith, the human condition, we talk about a rock opera fresco whose last flowing title should be listened to first to help you understand the musical structure of this French artist extraordinary."
-Josh Rundquist (Heavy Debriefings USA): "Far From Home is one of the Best Album of the month (June)"
-Awesome Review (nl) Excerpt: "Try to imagine a mix of Jeff Wayne's War Of The World, Hans Zimmer's film music, the prog rock of Dream Theater and the sound of Ayreon and you will get an idea of what to expect on this album. Max's powerful and sensitive vocals along the double Album. Far From Home by Max Enix is a very impressive concept album and an album that should easily find a place in the collection of every progmetal fan! The very beautifully designed textbook should also be mentioned."
-8/10 Metal Digest (Greek): " ‘Far From Home’ is an opportunity for you and your “everything” friend to embark on a wondrous journey of choral arrangements, multiple vocalists of every stripe, ripping guitars, and multicultural inflections."
-Heavy HQ (Us): "The scale of the album does feel like a Devin Townsend and Hans Zimmer hybrid."
-8/10 Saitenkult (De): "This year's monumental work of progressive rock and progressive metal comes from Max Enix, bears the concise title 'Far From Home' and captivates for other 160minutes!"
-8/10 AWESOME Review ! SoundMagnet (De): "Densely packed Cineastic Progressive Metal with orchestral violence. In addition to the vocals of Max Enix himself, who does a great job and is quiet varied, the female vocals are sung by Elise Wachbar and cut an equally good figure. For fans of symphonic metal with cinematic means and a lot of mass and class, Max Enix has a musical feast in store."
-10/15 by Betreutesproggen (De): "If you look at the album purely musically, fans of concept albums in the style of symphonic prog metal will quickly feel at home here. There are countless beautiful melodies, wonderful orchestral arrangements and outstanding vocal parts."
-80/100 Rock Overdose (Greece): "Max Enix's "Far From Home" is a magical musical journey, a musical adventure full of surprises. As a songwriter, composer and producer, Enix shows off his extraordinary talent by creating an ambitious double album that perfectly combines many different genres into a single body of work.
"Far From Home" is a work that transcends and breaks the boundaries between musical genres, presenting a work with a truly fresh sound and inspiring ideas that is definitely worth a listen."
-8/10 METAL HAMMER GREECE: "Passion is the beginning and the end of Far From Home. Passion for Art without limits, for unbridled creation and the elevation of man as a being and not as a consumer product. Listen to it again and again and you will constantly discover something new.
"An extremely talented artist, one of those who doesn't just do calculations and measurements with the eyes on the number of sales, but dedicated himself soul and body to his Art. Max Enix brings out his innermost soul, both musically and lyrically, in a way that you cannot resist and what he tells us is indicative of what it happens in his mind."
-8/10 ROCK HARD GREECE AWESOME! https://rockhard.gr/max-enix-far-from-home-wormholedeath/ "The overall result is a triumph for Max Enix, who succeeded in creating something remarkable, something that fans of progressive music, but also those who like their sounds adventurous and provocative, will appreciate above all. He who takes risks and dares wins in the end."
-PowerPlay Magazine: "The genuine emotion Enix has for his music is clear to pick up in his vocals. I can't say I loved them , but there's no doubt he has talent. Enix should be proud of his achievement; this is a monumental project he's put together, and he should be applauded for the sheer effort it must have taken."
-Awesome Rockallica (Greece). https://rockallica.com/akoysame-to-almpoym-toy-galloy-max-enix-me-ti/ Far From Home is a project that take risks and wins. This is a double Album that Highlights Max Enix's ability as a composer and artist. It is a musical journey that transcends the boundaries of musical genres. Far From Home is one of those Albums that is worth listening to without a second thought..."
-7.8/10 by Music Connection Magazine (Uk)
-RockHard Italy AWESOME review by Emanuele Biani, DPRP (Holland) AWESOME Words, Rocknytt (Swe), Radio Erdorin (Fr), This is Rock (Es)
-Masterpiece/Awesome/Brillant by some listeners (world), advices and Many Others...
-Metal Alliance Mag / An ambition that exceeds the boundaries of the imaginable! The highest spheres of symphonic and European metal (Opeth, Ayreon, Therion...)! Max and Elise make a fine vocal duo. Max's multiple nuances and Elise's soft, charming timbre are a perfect match. Max's own performance on Beyond my Blood, where he embodies several characters through the nuances of his voice - and through his acting in the video clip - delivering a dialogue with himself full of expressiveness and emotion.
Emotion is the very essence of what Max Enix and co are trying to convey with Far From Home, and it's present at every moment, filled with passion and heart.
Listening to Far From Home, there's no doubt that it's an extraordinary album, in the first sense of the word, in terms of its ambitions, which go beyond boundaries rarely reached, and in terms of the musical journey it invites listeners to take part in. Just imagine what a feat it must have been at every level (logistical, financial, writing, musical arrangement...)!
As well as the practical aspects, it's also the more abstract ones that make Far From Home stand out from the crowd, because of the immensity of the heart and soul that went into it. Far From Home finds added strength in its ability to rediscover itself with each new listen, allowing it to improve like a fine wine.
-Lots of others to come..."
