2015 saw ジュノリアクター tour the world, Europe, Japan, China, Australia and North & South America, far from taking it easy in their 24 year JR released a album of remixes of “The Golden Sun…” ジュノリアクター was formed as an art project in 1990. To collaborate with other artists, producing music that was not commercially driven, to create experimental music soundtracks that would work with installations, and film projects. An example in collaboration with Norma Fletcher (Artist) Driving a S.A.M. surface to air missile around central London, past Parliament square, Downing st, up Whitehall, and eventually installed in an ex war burns hospital, Regents Park.

The Golden Sun Of The Great East is the 8th ジュノリアクター Studio album. The album further hones the exotic mix of surging trance beats, cinematic vision and lustrous world music flavors which characterized its predecessors, from propulsive turbo-opener ‘Final Frontier’ to evocative satellite serenade finale ‘Playing With Fire’ and its panoramic chorale of synths, strings and haunting voices.

In between, tracks such as ‘Invisible’, ‘Guillotine’ and ‘Trans Siberian’ surge on mammoth waves of sparkling riffs, turbulent drums and Diva vocals, all directed by Watkins’ unique sense of drama. While ‘Tempest’ and ‘Zombie’ introduce horror movie atmospherics, ‘Shine’ and ‘To Byculla’ hop off the pounding beats express to deliver a subtler strain of exotic, emotional flow.
Studded with future classics, the album seems built for a stratospheric live show.
