The success of Connecting Images was followed by the large-scale realization of Mountain Flying, the expanded and revised version of the compositions from Julius Dobos’ teenage years. The main supporter of the project was Nokia. After 7 months of production, Mountain Flying was released in November 1999. The album, which was the first large-scale electronic-orchestral music production by a Hungarian composer,[3][4][5][13] featuring an 130-piece symphonic orchestra and choir, multitude of synthesizers evoking the sonic world of snow-capped mountains, and once again Márta Sebestyén on the track New Pangea, was an instant hit. The success of Mountain Flying quickly spread across Europe and taking advantage of early online distribution channels, reached the fans of electronic and modern orchestral music worldwide.
" Mountain Flying is an adventure in your fantasy, a movie score without a movie. It is the musical expression of feelings like freedom, openness and respect for nature" - the CD booklet reads.[14] Dobos often describes the project as an album “made without much of a compromise”,[3][8] referring to Nokia’s conceptual influence in Connecting Images and the resources and time the major production required.
