Juno Reactor: Gods & Monsters
By Lisa Finning
As if we neede further proof that Ben Watkins prowess in electronic music exceeds most expectations. Aptly titled, Juno Reactor’s Gods & Monsters is ethnically diverse with tasty layers blended perfectly together.
I can easily see each unique track fitting seamlessly into a movie. How does one describe such a CD? Space odessy meets western elements, meets eastern, meets african, meets japanese elements, meets trance? Usually I’d describe each track individually but on this particular occasion I think that words could only reduce this fantastic musical voyage.
It’s rare these days to find an artist that defies description like Juno Reactor does. For those who enjoy electronic/industrial music, this CD is a definite must have. My favorite Juno Reactor CD to date.
Juno Reactor will be touring during 2008, check out the tour dates and album on their official site: http://www.reactorleak.com/
Leatherwolf: Dr. Wicked
Check out this new video for Dr. Wicked from Leatherwolf from their new album New World Asylum. Originally released in 2006 with vocalist Wade Black (ex-Crimson Glory). In an unorthodox move, the band re-recorded and re-worked the album with their original vocalist, Mike Olivieri who has returned to the band.
