psylicious Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed’ is the newest album release from Juno Reactor, whom need no introduction at all! The very word ‘Remixed’ can indicate only one thing; rewinding back to 2013 when Juno Reactor released his 8th album ‘The Golden Sun Of The Great East’. Fast forward to 2015, venturing into the reactor once again, coupled with an atomic selection of remixes creating an ‘audio reaction’ of musical creativity that simply pushes this album to the very brink of? Genius!! With a strong Juno Reactor fan base already attained, ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed’ album will no doubt inject its self further onto trance floors as it creates a path way for established and new fans alike. So is this just ‘another’ remix album to pacify Juno Reactors fan base? Certainly not! ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed’ is a strong credit to the power that Juno Rectors Ben Watkins injects into his music, even more so when there is no loss to the original material. You could simply call this a ‘musical extension’ that is built upon the solid foundation that is, ‘The Golden Sun Of The Great East’. Extrawelts remix of ‘Final Frontier’ evokes a sensorial stimulus that really hooks you into what ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed has to offer’. Tracks such as the GMS remix of ‘Zombie’, Zeologics’ remix of ‘Tempest’ and Cylons’ remix of ‘Trans Siberian’ each penetrate into the existing power that Ben Watkins originally achieved in keeping with the Juno Reactor sound albeit optimising a refreshing vitality throughout. In its own right ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed’ is a heavy weight album infused with psychedelic preservation of freshness that is a musical testament to the core of Juno Reactor; its past, present and future. By no means is this just some…dare I say it ‘cheesy’ cliché rushed album to elude the hunger for another Juno Reactor album. ‘The Golden Sun _ Remixed’ is long awaited and what you have all been waiting for, fulfilling your hunger leaving very little room for more! Enjoy!!

Starkraver Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Oh yes! Thanks Psylicious. Been waiting for this one.. Let's see whether these guys have managed to do justice with this gem of an album through their versions. To be honest I wasn't expecting these artists to do the remix. I'm a bit skeptical now.

Bill Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Extrawelt & Zeologic have the best remixes on this one. Mostly, these are standard psytrance tracks with some JR samples thrown in, nothing very special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Hypnotic LFO Room Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 All genre described as Techno on Beatport...nahhhhhh it's far from deserving to be called Techno. It's mostly fast boring generic psy and some slowed down wannabe psy-techno... nothing new really. Not my cup of tea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following your posts for years and it's almost always negative feedback - could you link to the type of music you like & find interesting (other that your own, obviously)? I'm really curious Edit: not saying this release is good, just something that came to my mind while reading the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkraver Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Me too, I really want to know what kind of music tickles your mind. And back to the topic. Nothing exciting over here. I was expecting something else! NOT THIS. Golden Sun Of The Great East is a great album. NOT THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been positive on example some of the new goa artists music if that failed your attention I know I am "negative". But in a scene where 99.5% is copy & paste and "lets make the same bass lines and fart sounds as the other artists" it's really hard to be positive. Sorry I am probably just some old grumpy guy who is over due. But at least I am being honest and true to my taste in music (which extends far beyond this scene in many directions and genres). And when they start to label mediocre "psy" as techno it's an insult to real techno IMO. Of course I like my own music. If I did not I would be a sell-out and a hypocrite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually pretty negative and jaded myself, but there are some releases on this scene I liked, e.g.: https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/70429-nervasystem-4-voodoo-voltage/ https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/68124-deviant-electronics-green-room-zion604/ https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/68920-hedonix-guerrilla-ontology/?p=1039799 https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/68961-nervasystem-time-travel-anjuna-2013/?p=1040108 https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/68077-cosmic-dimension-in-a-special-kind-of-space/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
