There are possibly people out there in the real world who believe that techno consists
simply of Moby, Orbital, or (even worse) Paul Oakenfold. Yet, amidst all of the generic
cookie-cutter techno bands out there, there are a few that stand out that neither delve into
single-loop inanity nor burrow into freakishly complex Aphex-Twinian compositions (not that
it is a bad thing to experience every once in a while).

Granted, this is still "dance" music, yet it retains only the absolutely essential cliches.
One of the greatest aspects Of "Bible Of Dream", and Juno Reactor in general, is the
variation within an album: a diversity that manages to remain thematically connected
throughout the songs. Each song features the basics: a steady drum beat and strong bass
lines. The additional ornamentation is what makes each song unique. Two of the most atypical
songs on the album, "Conga Fury" (featuring "Nelson Mandela's favorite traditional South
African percussion act") and "God Is God" (featuring strange female vocals and religious
samples), contain various instances of live tribal drumming and singing/chanting (which
would be explored in greater depth in their later albums). Thankfully, it is still
recognizable techno/trance, but it manages to evoke images other than a crowded dance floor
or cityscape. A few other tracks, "Kaguya Hime" and "Children Of The Night", are much more
synthetic and darker in nature, containing foreboding industrial-esque ambiences (the
"Children Of The Night" track reminds me of the Front 242 "Off" album, though I do not know
if that is a common sentiment or if it is just me) and sound effects. Finally, the best
track "Komit" is simply excellent trance-techno. With it's phased string introduction,
addictive bass line, extremely mobile synth leads, and breaks including chorused choirs, is
quite simply one of the best electronic songs I have ever heard that is good for any
listening occasion or mood. Period.

If you only buy one fast-paced techno album ever, buy this album. Or (worst-case scenario),
if you only listen to one techno song in your entire lifetime (unlikely, but possible),
listen to "Komit". It's that good. After all, they would later go on to create two more
highly-regarded albums and score two Matrix movies, so they must have been doing something
right.

"Bible of Dreams" is 4th album by Juno Reactor, released in 1997. Polish version came out
2 years later.

Helljoy it!
