Rated 5/5
Review by fabriknos Jul 04, 2009
Looking back on Juno Reactor's influential discography, I consider Beyond The Infinite to be the strongest album from start to finish. While it may not have the same revolutionary impact Transmissions had on the trance & goa scenes, nor the mainstream appeal and accomplished production of Bible Of Dreams, nonetheless, we have in my opinion the most epic, creative, detailed and rich work from mastermind Ben Watkins. There is so much going on in these tracks sometimes that you forget you are listening to basically one guy with a bunch of machines. Yet, it doesn't suffer from that "over produced" sound that much psytrance fell prey to in the 90s. Instead of looping a rezzy 303 for an entire track or using the dreaded "blip" kick drums, Watkins instead relies on his studio wizardry and songwriting ability to produce an album that anyone would consider "complete." It's refreshing even in 2009 to hear trance like this, and the level of depth hasn't been matched very often, by Watkins himself or his peers. Not the groundbreaking release that Transmissions was, but a powerful step forward into a more diverse sound, and a sign of things to come for his future experimentation with dance music.
Rated 5/5
Review by PaulWay Jan 12, 2004
A great contribution to the trance scene, but IMHO it suffers slightly from being to 'samey' - the pieces blend into eachother and often get lost in more repeats with no substantial new themes or instruments being added for variety. Still, it's an important release and the above criticism shouldn't deter you from a thorough enjoying!
