The release of
The Golden Sun Of The Great East, the 8th Juno Reactor album. The album hones the exotic mix of surging trance beats, cinematic vision and lustrous world music flavors which characterized its predecessors, from propulsive turbo-opener Final Frontier' to evocative satellite serenade finale Playing With Fire' and its panoramic chorale of synths, strings and haunting voices. In between, tracks such as Invisible', Guillotine' and Trans Siberian' surge on mammoth waves of sparkling riffs, turbulent drums and Diva vocals, all directed by Watkins' unique sense of drama. While Tempest' and Zombie' introduce Darker atmospherics, Shine' and To Byculla' hop off the pounding beats express to deliver a subtler strain of exotic, emotional flow. Studded with future classics, the album seems built for a stratospheric live show. -Kris Needs
