antic604 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Quote From the back streets of London to Hollywood blockbusters of the Matrix, Juno Reactor's story is ever evolving. Ben Watkins aka Juno Reactor is constantly exploring new areas visually & musically, evidenced by the new album “The Mutant Theatre” (also the name of the new live extravaganza). "The Mutant Theatre" is a resounding achievement from one of trance's most innovative, pioneering artists. https://junoreactor.bandcamp.com/album/the-mutant-theatre BTW, they've uploaded most of their discography to Bandcamp: https://junoreactor.bandcamp.com/music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wonder how it'll hold up to the last one. Excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoebis Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I heard him in play in Belgium 2 weeks and I have to be honest. This was the most shitty set from a classic artist I heard in my life. Vini Vici kicks and sounds and guitars on top of it. I went to sleep in my car... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He visited Finland a few weeks ago and it was the most un-inspired live set I've ever heard. Didn't even play anything from the 2015 album.

Yeah, I've seen the full live 4 or 5 times since Ozora 2009, and it's been getting progressively worse every time, with Boom 2014 being not much more than a joke; you could clearly see that the musicians on stage had no fucking idea what the others were doing and over all the whole gig just sounded like shit. I remember Ben Watkins stating somewhere that he "doesn't believe in rehearsing". Well that was more than apparent there. I'll stick to listening to the albums instead.

Deimos Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm just glad that I got to see JR live while Ben was still supported by African-tribe members... and singer from Labyrinth album. It was I think 2008 and promotion of Gods&Monsters album (which was awful and luckily only 3 songs from that crap were played live). Bonus was that it was concert with Laibach, so it was not a festival set, but full 2+ hour experience (Laibach 1,5h) - and combo songs with Laibach (God is God) This now really sound like digital shit..................

the goa constrictor Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Juno Reactor are playing at DEFCON in Vegas this summer in the USA. I vend at that every summer, so I'll be going. I doubt it'll be as awesome as the Bible of Dreams tour, but I'm not gonna give up all hope just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuser Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Only 1 listen but I found this album remarkable. These guys are in a different league. Return of the pistolero was a pleasant surprise A new Juno Reactor album and it gets hardly noticed on good old Psynews .. 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I quickly skimmed some samples and don't understand the negativity. The last album was fantastic and this sounds really cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antic604 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Really good album. I like how after all those years they still sound like them, with those song-like arrangements, movie-like chord progressions, really tasteful use of singing and simple but innovative and unique sound design. They're still at the top of their game, and - for me at least - this might be their best album yet. I really loved the "classic" Beyond the Infinite or Bible of Dreams, but I always had problem with those albums being really uneven, with some awesome tracks and some that I could barely take... This, on the other hand, is equal quality start to finish, although obviously few tracks stand out, like the "Let's Turn On" or "The Sky Is Blue, The Sky Is Black". Highly recommended!

Urban Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Return of the Pistolero (SICK!) and Voyager 304 are my favorite tracks of this album, rest are all decent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh mang... Bible of Dreams is a perfect album. Same with Beyond the Infinite. I will say that both albums had parts which weren't immediately my favorites but grew on me with time and I love more and more as the years have passed; but those are perfect albums.
