 Band Review :: Juno Reactor
Juno Reactor, also known as Ben Watkins, just might be the pioneer of a style of music that could be around for generations.
Juno Reactor’s way of making music has changed over the years, as is shown on the album Odyssey 1992-2002, which shows noticeable progress starting from the song “High Energy Protons”, taken from his very first album, Transmissions, and ending with the latest single created in 2002, called “Hotaka”.
Juno Reactor incorporates some of the best sounds and beats possibly conceivable which makes him pleasurable to listen to just about anywhere, not to mention his numerous creative songs that could be (and should be) put into movies.

Juno Beach was founded in 1996 because it became painfully obvious that the major label record companies were ignoring huge portions of the market place.
Juno Beach was formed to bring new and innovative artists to the world, but the focus of the company is to sell their material.

 Juno: Aversion.com Interview
While the art-rock ethos that guides Juno’s work has shuffled it into the same neighborhood as other melodic post-rock bands, the extra elements the Seattle-based quintet brings to the table are enough to seriously frustrate the efforts of anyone who’s used to quick descriptions of a band’s fare.
Juno’s music takes on vast, sweeping sonic arcs, though they are the very same vast and sweeping terms coined (usually completely inadequately) to boil down the essence of rock’n’roll.
Nowhere was it as apparent as when the band took its music to Europe, where, in an effort to help draw more fans in from the street, promoters tack on a descriptive tag line after a band’s name in hopes of luring more fans to the show.

 Interview, The Morning News/NWAonline.net 5.13.01, by Amy Graves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Juno has a sense of humor that shines through "A Future Lived in Past Tense." For example, the song "Covered in Hair" starts with some crowd noise that Carstens recorded at the end of a Nina Simone song.
Carstens went on to explain that the band recently toured Europe, and not all of the European audiences were overly appreciative of Juno's stage presence.
This is significant; this is a band that has toured the United states 12 times in the past five years.

 Juno - A Future Lived in Past Tense (DeSoto)
Juno's call to arms is "Put on your punk belt and rock it for all the square-cools," as proclaimed in the second track of their new album, A Future Lived in Past Tense, "Covered With Hair." And Juno arms themselves with not one, not two, but three guitars.
Much like Sugar compared to Mould's previous band, this, Juno's 2nd album, is much more like something you'd file under easy listening than their first album, This is the Way it Goes and Goes and Goes.
The song that produces Juno's call to arms, "Covered With Hair," is pure arena rock spectacle, pushing forward three loud rock guitars with Carstens voice propelling an anthem against the latest supposed death of rock.

In the astrological chart, Juno indicates the nature of the issues and opportunities in significant relations of all sorts: those that are of a personal nature to those of political leaders and nations of the world.
Juno's placement in the astrological chart is one of several points that determine the types of significant relations drawn into our lives.

This new version from Juno's Band fails to convey the same sense of epic grandeur, though the players creditably evince the shifting moods and fleeting visions of the work and give a beautifully inflected reading of the Adagio, with Ian Brown's piano contributions a model of restraint.
Juno's Band seems closer in spirit to the more lightweight ASV performance from the Schubert Ensemble of London, but I can't help concluding that Fauré intended to convey altogether darker emotions than either would suggest.
Juno's Band also gives a forthright reading of Ravel's piano trio, which doesn't avoid technical pitfalls in the difficult second movement (Pantoum) and finale.

The second is at the end of the band's set-closer, "January Arms." Emotionally and physically wrecked after pouring himself into the entire performance, Carstens is on the stage floor sitting on his haunches, breathing heavily, sweat pouring down his face, eyes closed in distant concentration.
Juno have always had strong chops, but there are some deliciously subtle hooks and turnarounds on this album that really showcase some of your strengths as "song" writers and not so much as "thematic" writers.
Juno as a band has kind of always been known as this "three guitar front." And one of the things that really stands out on this new album is the bass playing and how much it drives a lot of the songs.

Juno is a rock band who balances their sometimes intensely hostile energy with dreamy space sounds, epic blasts of guitar, and great lyrics.
Gabe: I don’t think we’re necessarily hoping to quit our day jobs with this band, but we’re hoping that the band will eventually perpetuate itself to be something that enables us to travel and play music for people without it costing us money.
I think that if anything, the point or the end result of all the work we put into this band is to play a lot of shows, and to play for people who like the music that we make.

Juno's always had a few core members and a mess of revolving friends; when two or more of us want to get together in earnest it'll very rapidly become all consuming again.
However, in the early days of Juno we could only articulate our ideas in non-technical terms because none of us had any schooling in recording engineering, nor did any of us have an intimate understanding of the gear being used.
Nate would take Juno practice-room recordings out on Foo Fighters tours with him so that he could sit in his hotel rooms with his bass and a cd player, writing bass lines and practicing our songs in preparation for the studio sessions.

The Aztec Marching Band is the only high school band to have ever won three consecutive Sweepstakes in the entire 50 year history of the National City Maytime Band Review.
The Aztec Band performance of 1963 scoring 99.5 out of 100 possible points is probably the greatest single marching band performance ever achieved by any high school band.
We were never a very large band, 50-55 musicians (jr.hi bands at the time were very small and didn't send us many freshman) but we were known for our excellent marching and showmanship scores as well as 450 to 460 (out of 500) music scores.

My Juno quest began on a snowy February night in Kingston, when, after a Blue Rodeo show at the Grand Theatre, I jumped into a rental car and headed back to Toronto for the Juno nomination press conference the next morning.
I heard the same quiver in Molly Johnson's voice that I'd heard 15 years previously from k.d.lang as she read 'and the Juno goes to,' and even though Oscar Peterson wasn't nominated, I was sure there had been a mistake and he would appear out of nowhere.

Arlie Carstens, Gabe Carter, and Jason Guyer opt for the expansive, the repetitive, the spacious, the spacey.
And while the guitars are crucial to the band's sound, they are just one piece of the big picture.
Those songs both appear on Juno's first full-length, This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes, alongside the featured "All Your Friends Are Comedians," which showcases the band's capacity to create rousing anthems out of pure bombastic might.

Though the band’s intricate arrangements meld hints of the avant-garde love for progressive arrangements, it doesn’t let its highbrow ends cover up its want to kick an ass here and there and let it fly with the all-out rock.
Whether the band packs more riffs than you’re likely to hear in a guitar store on a Saturday afternoon ("Help Is on the Way") or packs minimal keyboard touches into its already full-bodied sound without sounding crowded ("A Thousand Motors Pressed Upon the Heart"), Juno takes hard-hitting post-hardcore to new levels of artistic distinction.
Juno’s artistic sensibilities also prove to be its Achilles heel, however.

Now and then ("When I Was In") Juno exhibits an anthemic pop sensibility that suggests that the Foo Fighters would be perfect tourmates.
