Gone!: July 2011

Shit yeah!

As i'm sure many of you readers already know about, Juno Reactor kicks ass, so this excitement for an old project started in the 90's may seem overflowing, but I live in a goddamn cave people! I choose to find my music by chance in the moment it catches me and usually through not very conventional ways....which has it's pluses and minuses. octopii. This is already starting to sound highly pretentious but i swear i'm not "indie" nor vegan, and I don't like starbucks, my only intention in this parenthesis is to hopefully make you less stupid and robotic so please bear with. Some time ago I decreted that our philosophy and cosmogony reflects itself through very simple and sublte actions, the most noticible ones are our habits, anyway, this is relevant because if you think about humanity and how it behaves as massive entities you will realize it collectively creates a perception of things and at that point you'll have to decide, do you stay within that perception? or do you play around? and I'm not even talking about "listening to different genres" I'm talking about where and how you get your fix. on top of that I personally choose to live in ghost world, the world of the everyday unknown, upublished, unsucssesful because why the hell should you care?

Now to get back to Juno Reactor this is one of those minuses from living in a cave, It took 20 + years and 8 albums untill I found them, however in this immense sea of music I'm just grateful for the fact.


The Mortal Kombat & Cash tour eh? Interesting....

So basically it's these guys-- >>:

Ben Watkins
Mike McGuire
Stephane Holweck
Jens Waldeback
Taz Alexander
Mabi Thobejane
Michael LaDonga
Simpiwe Marele
Mandala Lande
Greg Ellis
Paul Jackson
Steve Stevens
Sugizo
Squid
Xavier Morell

<<--spearheaded by Ben Watkins playing a steady blend of ethnic and electronic instruments. Some are songs, others atmospheres but to the audiophile they are what captn crunch is to kids...with sugar. It is a prime example of what embracing technology can do, this is music of the future *which is pretty much here*. Musically speaking, it achieves a unity that is so pleasent to hear, how often can you say you heard tribal-drumnbass-blues and liked it? OR how about their specialty, etno-orchestral-techno? yes, these guys are the laser-printed sushi of sushii.

They're so crazy they got a jap chimp and a pregnant dude on tour FULL TIME!

Also they make me wanna eat some buddhas.

They've done countless soundtracks, the most known is probably the Matrix one, other lesser known like Texhnolyze and some video games are in the mix aswell.
