Perhaps some day in the distant future, at some far away campus, students of turn-of-the-century electronic music will listen as their professor waxes on about the effect that the seminal British trance entity Juno Reactor had on the world.
They will discuss the fluidity of the Juno sound, which was in regular flux with its various members morphing around frontman Ben Watkins. They'll point to Watkins' percussive innovations, his affinity for long spiritual vocals and his overlapping marriages with traditional African and Japanese beats and chants, and they will ask themselves why was it all so special.
Juno's greatest hits album "Odyssey 1992-2002," set for release next Wednesday, will be required listening for the course.
