Children Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 (edited) Juno Reactor - Beyond The Infinite Artist: Juno Reactor Title: Beyond The Infinite Label: Blue Room Date: 1995 Track listing: 01. 07'11" Guardian Angel 02. 08'08" Magnetic 03. 07'03" Ice Cube 04. 07'39" Feel The Universe 05. 06'54" Razorback 06. 08'17" Samurai 07. 06'36" Silver 08. 08'19" Rotorblade 09. 07'10" Mars Review: More psychedelic than Bible Of Dreams, this album has 2 quite good Tracks, Track 2 and 3, but other Tracks aren't awesome in my opinion ... I precise I don't like Juno Reactor's style that much, so if you like Juno Reactor there is many chances that you like this album :-) Rating : 4.5/10 Edited September 18, 2006 by DeathPosture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stathis_gti Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 I dont own this album but i have the single of Guardian Angel (track 1).This track is the history of trance for me.Fast and kicking,with very good bass lines,and trippy samples that makes you lost in space.But this must be a great album because because of that, JunoReactor became very famous (They used to come all the time here in Greece for DJ sets and live PA's).

Guest tequilamaster[at]mailexcite[dot] Posted January 25, 2000 Share Posted January 25, 2000 a really great album of goa. probably one of the best with The Gathering 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted January 26, 2000 Share Posted January 26, 2000 I like this album a lot, because Juno Reactor has a very full, distinctive sound with samples and melodies that you don't hear elsewhere. Not classic Goa, but if you're a little open-minded, try it. Every tracks are great, but my favorites are Feel the universe, Mars and Ice Cube.

Guest djonanis[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted May 11, 2000 Share Posted May 11, 2000 This is a very nice and well done material. I must say that I dislike the art work, but the tracks on it are amazing, chek out the 7th track, it is really good for the morning. (I remember when I put it in a party in cuauhtla an guy robert came closer and asked me with an attonishing semblant what is this? and when I said jr he could not believe it). Children, I siggest you to listen this album carefully again. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gilbreathfamily[at]worldnet[dot] Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Imagination, use it as a weapon... they certainly have. Simply the best trance album ever made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ir0nm0nk3y Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Very different from a lot of most psy/goa trance but, it is just so good. When I listen to this I truly can "feel the universe functioning". It has the perfect balance of energy, walking the line between smooth and frenetic. A must have. 10/10.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Sitting down to listen to this album... I started getting some twinges of deja-vu. I heard Bible of Dreams first - by the end of BTI I had found many parallels between it and Juno's newer release. The pounding, provocative opening track "Guardian Angel" did almost as good a job as Jardin De Cecile (and is just as memorable), the pounding "jungle" feel of Razorback instantly made me think "Congafury!" BTI isn't quite as "developed" as Bible, but that isn't suprising, and certainly doesn't stop it from containing some of Junos' better material. But overall - and this applies with Bible also - I just can't get into this album. One thing puts me off: It happens a lot earlier with BoD, but not until later on with BTI - further into it. Distorted Guitar. *sigh* Perhaps I _am_ slightly biased, yes - I can't stand the sound, I have to put up with it surrounded as I am, here in the UK, by arseheads that actually enjoy Indie. But I make no apologies for this: guitars and trance Do Not Mix For Gods Sake. On Bible, when it first reared its ugly head on Swamp Thing, I almost chucked the case out the window... it practically ruined the album for me! Typical then it should do the same with Rotorblade. Both Juno and Infected Mushroom (only marred Gathering slightly, almost completely ruined Classical) need to take a page from Simon Posford's book. With the exception of the above average Shpongle releases, he really does know how to make decent trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snow Dog Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Granted, this album may not be for everyone, but for me it defines Goa Trance. It is a landmark in the scene and I hope every Goa fan has the opportunity to hear it at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slinker Posted November 3, 2000 Share Posted November 3, 2000 an absolutely landmark album in every sense, the distinctive juno reactor sound is always welcome in my CD player..some stomping tracks and breaks mixed up and served on a golden platter...with some mellow moments to round it off. Simply breathtaking...and certainly for its time astonishing!! you have to hear it and appreciate it.....9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 Still one of the best album of all time ! All the song are a universe by themselves and can take you on a distant journey... No words 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ravemail10 Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I can't add anything new to this review except that "Feel the universe" is in my opinion a distinct masterpiece and may well be the best psytrance track ever made! 9/10 for the album, because it's THAT GOOD. As to electric guitars in trance - as long as it applies (like in this album) go right ahead and put them in. SUN Project is really nice, for example. Semsis is really bad, for example. I don't understand how that dude above me can say IM ruined "Classical Mushroom", it's an amazing cd. Guitars + Psychedelia = Beautiful, Hard Music. Bom! - Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyne Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I can't believe that review above where the guy says that ONE song with distorted guitars ruined the album for him... Anyway I love guitars and I totally support the idea of mixing genres. Oh and my review: this is one of the best trance albums I own. If you like it and wonder how more energy could be added to the tracks, I suggest you take a listen to Koxbox remox of Feel The Universe on the Samurai EP. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ir0nm0nk3y Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Although this is one of the first albums I bought when I discovered psy/goa it remains one of my favorites. A lot of people do not like to classify Juno Reactor as psy/goa but, whatever you want to call it this is a great album. They manage to mix frenetic energy with a smooth, ethereal flow. Guardian Angel, Feel the Universe, Silver and, my favorite, Rotorblade. If you enjoy electronic music of any kind you really should get this album.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Better than anything out there... Just the best there is!NOBODY sounds like Juno Reactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Lord have mercy! Guardian Angel is fucking awesome! I love that track so much. It's so powerful and energic and crazy! Listen to this at night, really loud! The voices make me go insane..." If you want anything, anything at all...I am your Guardian Angel." Ahhhhhahahaha, I love it! Wow. Magnetic is a very good track. I like how it gradually builds from ambient into a, solid and danceable piece of work. I've heard, Feel the Universe over twenty times and I still like it. Ice Cube is very cool. Silver is excellent. There are no bad tracks on this album. Some tracks are decent or good at the least, but for the most part, this album rocks! Juno Reactor's style has always been very different and unique, as opposed to your typical psytrance. I don't know how I would classify this style of music, other then to say a very cool, unique, melodic (sometimes dark) techno/trance that gets pretty psychedelic at times. This album is much more powerful and adrenaline pumping then their previous albums, although JR-Shango has some powerful tracks as well. Beyond the Infinite is my favorite of their four albums to date. I can understand if someone does not like this style. It is not very different and there is more dialogue (silver) than on your usual Psy influenced cd. 8.9 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djcpr[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 I'm glad most people like this album as much as I do. When I was really starting to get into electronic music I got this album, and it proved to me at the time that there was a world of music for me to explore. Now 5 years later this album still stands in front of me as a milestone in electronic music and psytrance. Definatel one to listen to if you haven't already. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rotorblade Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Juno Reactor rules. My favorite track is Rotorblade. It's simply awesome and beats the shit out of any other "goa" track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest per1sh[at]home[dot]com Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 ok...people bitching about the guitar in this album need to have their skulled pried open. mr. watkins doesn't feel the need make his music according to your retarded ideas of what is and isn't allowed in goa. you can be a bitch and say that "it's not real goa". so be it. it's not real goa. and it beats the shit out of most of awful mindless boring goa i hear.

Guest kidro102[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Probably the best trance song or song of any genre I have ever heard in Guardian angel, the rest of the album is nearly as good and is a step beyond anything released since. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergi Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 What suprise me at a first listen to this, is the sort of mature sound it delivers for being from 96. I believe this must have almost been the only real psy/goa trance sounds emenating from the 96 trance scene... and it does indeed deliver mindsweeping, and mindblowing tunes which is arranged very good. Opens with Guardian Angel, a psychedelic twisted tune who is going to be literally forcing everyone in it's near vicinity to get up on their feets and start jumpin'. Goes on with magnetic, a little more dreamy tune but still sustains that real heavy beat. Then we have of course ice cube, which moves quite slow, but has the nice beat pumpin effects and melodic sequences... and the cd just keeps on getting more massive and more heavier all the time. This is one hell of a masterfully composed piece of art... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Extremely good album....Concept album....But yet all songs remain quite different between themselves...Something's missing in Razorback and Samurai...All in all 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rupz Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 ROTORBLADE is my personal no.1 ever... the atmosphere is incredibly dark and mysterious, it's something you'd hear in a apocalyptic futuristic movie or something The bass is strong but not too heavy... the bass and beat are very repetetive but they fit perfectly with the cool and rich effects... and the spacy flute melody makes it all perfect... this is a modern masterpiece, music of the future! If only i could find more electronic music of this quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
