I’ve been fond of Juno Reactor’s eclectic electroni
ca since I first heard Beyond the Infinite in 1996. I’ve listened to most of their albums frequently, especially Bible of Dreams. But I pretty much forgot about their first release, Transmissions (1993). Revisiting it now, I see why. It has little of the input from world musical traditions that they became famous for. It now sounds pretty much like conventional trance poised somewhere between darkrave and goa trance. But in fact, it was a pioneering work from which these trends subsequently evolved. It still plays well, and doesn’t deserve to be entirely ignored, just because the group went on to develop a more sophisticated sound.
