Underrated.......2005-10-10

Nobody ever gives this album the recognition it deserves. These tracks are solid. Samurai got a single (deservedly), but don't forget Ice Cube and Mars.

A Musical Masterpiece.......2005-09-18

I am one of the people that jumped on the Juno bandwagon after Shango, and I have been a huge fan ever since. I recently had the honor of purchasing this CD off of a longtime friend of mine (the same friend that got me into Juno) and I am eternally greatful. This recording is nothing short of amazing. Songs like Guardian Angel, Ice Cube, and Samurai pulse with energy, while other tracks have just the right mix of smooth ambience and spacey experimental sounds that makes this sound more like a great piece of art then a simple CD. This is quite a hard album to find, but a treasure that no Juno fan should go without. Ignore the naysayers, Beyond the Infinite is nothing short of amazing.

It really is a classic........2005-05-13

I do have to add my two cents to this, mentioning artists like Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Jean M Jarre, and Tangerine Dream in a review about Juno Reactor, is just plain bizarre. This is akin to complaining in a Metallica review that they don't sound like The Beatles. Sure, these groups share musical roots, but of course they are very different and cannot be compared fairly. Even trying to compare JR to Prodigy as that reviewer did just doesn't make any sense.

That reviewer, or any other techno fan who thinks psy trance is simply 'mildly interesting' or dead, just does not understand this very unique and complex genre, and is not aware of the amazing psy trance currently out there. This album is a classic in that it is one of the early releases that defined the genre. It is true that JR has evolved/changed musically (to great effect, IMHO), but other great artists continue to create stunning psy trance, such as Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, Shpongle, and Hallucinogen, to name a few.

As for this particular album, although it is indeed a classic, I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I agree with the reviewers who say that a number of these songs do get a bit repetitive. My favorite tracks on this CD are Feel the Universe and Mars... very trippy... :) but some of the other tracks are not quite as inventive, IMHO. But, regardless, a great CD and a must-have for serious psy trance fans :)

Classic? Of course. Essential? Sure........2005-04-13

But amid the ethers and intangibles predictably appreciated by synth-heads, the preference of mysterious buttons to vulgar strings, there seems little crime in forgetting or even omitting that spark so worn-out in Roc, but so overlooked in Tec:

Skill.
*Demanded by*, rather than *grasping for* Talent.

Try taking it out for 'dated' or giving it up for 'guest', but if you can't recognize a genuinely talented composer here, then it wastes breath to mention that all composers must be musicians, but few musicians can be composers.

You'll enjoy some tracks more than others, and on ensuing releases you'll find a borderline of predictability, but artists like this define everything from sub-genres up to musical theory.

Le meilleur de Juno Reactor.......2004-05-03

Je possède la plupart des albums de Juno Reactor et à mon humble avis celui-ci est de loin le meilleur et le plus puissant. Bien que dans le monde de la musique électronique il n'est pas rare que les morceaux musicaux deviennent rapidement obsolète ce disque est encore avant-gardiste. Chaque trame est une oeuvre d'art finement travaillé où la répétition est presque inexistante. Il y a de l'évolution dans chaque oeuvre de Juno Reactor.

"Beyond the infinite" à ce petit côté sombre et psychédélique que l'on devrait retrouver dans toute oeuvre cinématographique de science-fiction post apocalyptique.

Atmospheric techno.......2004-06-27

Beyond Thee Infinite Beat is an album of originals and dance remixes of tracks from Towards Thee Infinite Beat. The Dave Ball remix of Money For E is more spacey and the voice samples sound more eerie, whilst the Jack The Tab remix brings the Catalan vocals to the fore; this is my favorite of the three versions.

The original version of S.M.I.L.E. is followed by the Greedy Beat Syndicate remix which includes the funny vocal sample "just one hard boiled minute" in the effusive instrumental blend. The original of Bliss is followed by the scintillating Andy Falconer remix and the atmospheric Short Sharp Taste of Mistress Mix.

Kazumi Watanabe Proves His Compositional Skills Once Again!.......2003-12-08

Many jazz artists have toyed with, or even composed using the Classical form. In this outing by Kazumi Watanabe, he creates something similar to some of Norwegian guitarist Terje Rpydal's work. One can't think of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" as a point of comparison, as most of the tracks are named after planets, and flow together as one piece of music, with different movements and themes. Like his previous recording, Watanabe uses a large ensemble featuring a string quartet, yet this recording is a polar opposite of "Dear Tokyo", which is much more a jazz record. Most of the record features excellent classical guitar work, but the tracks "Jupiter", "Saturn" and "Sun" really stand out for me as they have some really great electric guitar work. This record also features vocals on two tracks, which in some ways, feel like they don't belong, because the complexity of the agrrangments changes drastically during these tracks. None the less, they have their own part in the overall theme of the work and feature good vocal work by an artist (Nora) I'm unfamiliar with. Overall, Kazumi Watanabe fans should not be disappointed by this release.
Sayonara!

Nul doute, ce disque est un excellent achat. Ne serait-ce que pour la pièce "Silver" avec son petit côté mélodrame où encore "Magnetic" pour sa sonorité glutural.
