God is God Juno Reactor 2024

So, back in '97, I teamed up with Ray Stevens to create the "God is God" video. I licensed "The Color of Pomegranates," a movie by Sergei Parajanov. One of Martin Scorsese’s top ten films.
I got together with Nick Burton to write this track. An amazing percussionist and he's also the eyes behind the designs for some of Juno Reactor's singles and album covers, like "Bible of Dreams" and "Labyrinth." We probably finished it around the first album "Transmissions," but it just didn't fit with the themes of those early albums. It wasn't until "Bible of Dreams" that Greg Hunter, a great engineer and producer, mixed it.
A funny thing is that when God Is God dropped, it blew up on MTV's late-night dance shows and caught the eye of Alice Cooper and Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey's husband, Tommy Mattola CEO of Sony Records, even hit up my manager, Mick Paterson, wanting me to direct Mariah's next video. I said no. First off, I have too much respect for Sergei Parajanov and his original work. Plus, directing a big-budget video! All I'd ever done was Super 8 stuff. And honestly, making a video for a big star didn’t feel right. Even after Tommy insisted, I said no.
Big shoutout to Mike Stanton for syncing up the footage and edits with an upscaled film version. The old one was kinda blurry...

[@Mark-ih7hk]

first time i heard this was 1999, the song still has the same strength and beauty. Such a surprise to get to see the official video 25 years later. Brilliant work!

[@robbpeppertree]

Wow! I've never seen it so clear! There's so much detail I've never seen before. I would love to see the video for "Feel The Universe" in this video quality!

[@xaedmon]

Straight & to the point! No fillers additives or preservatives- truth and nothing but. Love the lady doing those amazing vocals! wow!

[@PhyzzFizz]

i am pretty sure that is natacha atlas singing, sounds like her anyway

[@coyotejake9164]

Fantastic! I've seen this song connect so many people. I can't wait for the new video release!

[@TheMIDDLEEASTT]

Year 2024 and still listening ❤

[@chasekimball5999]

This is FANTASTIC! I have been dreaming of an updated version of this video for at least ten years!

[@RoboGoby]

One of my favorite songs forever. A timeless masterpiece that has lived (and flourished) on every media device I have owned to this day. Get shivers every time

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

glad to hear Robo

[@Autumn0625]

This is one of my favorites, Juno Reactor you have amazing songs🤩 it is so relaxing to listen to. You deserve more credit for your hard-working career, Keep up the good work😁👍, and have a blessed wonderful day🙏😇....Man!! it's been so long since I listened to this song 😮 I'm happy that it's back again🤩

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

Autumn thank you, it is a pleasure to have these reincarnations :) resurrections may be more like it, with the Boxset coming next month I feel I have been swimming in the past, and in someways looking forward to finding clear water with new musical directions

[@Fygee]

Seeing this in such high definition is amazing.

[@WilliamAppel3]

Thanks for releasing this! Ever since I heard you in the Matrix when I was a kid, I have been a fan. I look forward to more of your podcasts too!

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

Thank you, hope to set up new podcasts soon :)

[@venglin1]

This is a masterpiece. I first saw it on Polish TV in 1997 and was truly amazed by the psychedelic vibe. Then I saw Parajanov's film and I was even more impressed.

[@SpaceMarine113]

it's not psychodelic, it's an entire religious expirience

[@rodzaytsev2103]

Neither psychodelic nor religious ....more like poetic 🤔

[@junesun8289]

Two masterpieces have become one wonderful dream❤

[@mikestanton281]

I’m so happy that this is seeing the light of fans, and as a fan who really wanted this to exist, I’m glad we can all share in how awesome and groundbreaking this video is. Please to build it. No more blurry version. Here’s to a great Juno Reactor filled 2024.

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

Thanks Mike for recreating this video

[@chrisporter84]

I bought bible of dreams in 97, this year i'll turn 40 (ooch), and this song and album is still one of my favorite electronic music record. thank you.

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

is amazing to me, and thank you for listening for such a time, sometimes it feel like yesterday and other times like someone else's life!

[@kdreibel]

You performed live in San Francisco (2003-ish?) with an African band, who were chanting and dancing. I remember them and the entire audience chanting along to "Pistolero", then you stopping the beat, getting out an electric guitar, starting the beat again, and shredding along to the rest of the song. I always wondered if that moment was improvised. It's still one of the best shows I've ever seen!

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

We improvise a lot, turn off the electronics, and Jam, for my fav moments, where the edge of it all falling down is, is a beautiful spot, like on a cliff at sunrise, I remember it well

[@jakubrosenkiewicz9599]

Because of this music video I went for a beautiful journey of watching this amazing film some years ago. Thank You for that.

[@Sxcheschka]

I discovered you guys from the brilliant anime, Texhnolyze, the opening song: Guardian Angel (Xavier's Edit). I cannot love your style of Goa Trance enough!!!

[@derbydali]

Love from Tunisia

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

The Color Of Pomegranates is a wonderful film, well worth watching:)

[@MissPristineVenom]

God is Juno.....love it Bro.

[@victoriaskydancer42]

Definitely has "Pageant of the Masters" vibes. I've watched it more than once just to take it all in. 👍

[@eric_eagle]

Wow! Looks and sounds as great as ever! I got introduced to Natacha Atlas through this track! Longtime fan

[@JarrouaniFan]

Beautiful in every thinkable way. May this journey never end. Please keep fascinating!

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

I am trying to but nothing that interesting is coming yet, is a waiting game of writing loads of yakati yak and then one...

[@clemcrea]

a friend of me made me discovered this amazing album when i was 16, on summer french beach... 45 years old now , and still listen juno reactor !! in normal time i'm metal or classic music lover ^^

[@00DJALIEN00]

I have the vinyl single (Front 242 Mixes) and used to play it a lot. Big fan of your work.

[@matticus9832]

😮❤ This is otherworldly in it's sound, you're like an artist who paints with music, masterpiece! 🎉

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

My music playlists would be so dull without Juno Reactor! Lately I've been listening to Tetsujin on repeat for about 6 hours at a time. What a banger! Appreciate Juno so much 🙏

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

I should make an extended mix of that one ?

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

@@JunoReactorOfficial YESSIR! & then extend it a little more 😁😁

[@xygnusx5067]

I was entranced. I needed that. Thank you.

[@OK-otic]

This is really nice 😮 im just listening on my phone speakers right now, but I will have to revisit this when using a great sound system!

[@JunoNova]

Nice work Mikey!

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

Mike Stanton brilliant Job

[@dmitripopov8570]

Interesting story! Excited for the new release!!

[@DJSolitare]

Absolutely CLASSIC!!!!

[@stevencraig8876]

I always envisioned the images being crazy wheel in wheel angels with all the eyes on them around the bright throne of God with all sorts of crazy looking angels flying around really quick with smoke, and clouds and lightening shooting everywhere. Lots of crazy moving parts of unrecognizable objects.

[@AnjiEnnui]

Juno Reactor is the sole reason I got into trance/Goa trance. The video is super cool!

[@clemcrea]

me too!

[@BrokenGoth]

I’m so excited for this! A little over an hour to go! I saw you back at Seattle RCKNDY on your tour with Moby in the 90’s. You guys way upstaged him and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I saw you with Amampondo again in Seattle in 2021 and I was really pregnant but I still danced the whole time! My daughter is 22 now and she’s a huge fan also! We are moving to Rome in a few years and don’t stop enchanting the masses. I need to experience a show again, it’s been too long. Are you still in touch with the guys from Amamapondo? I’ve always wondered if you guys kept in touch.

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

I love Rome

[@SolitaryPsylocybin]

Damn, haven't heard this is a long time. You guys are so slept on but I'm not sure if it's on purpose. Conga Fury needs a re-release. Would love to hang out one day, keep it up.

[@Tammytrance]

Top Notch J.R.

[@MortiePL]

God is God is pure masterpiece. I've been to the 2014 concert in Warsaw's Progresja and I had such a blast. Me and my friend got so lucky that coming into the club we encountered Ben Watkins going out for a smoke and talked to him! He is such a lovable guy and showed empathy and nothing but patience talking to two youngster fans outside the Progresja club, hah. Still got the autographs and commemorative photo. Best day ever.

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

What you didn't realize was I was vampirically sucking nearly all your youthful energy, thank you

[@MortiePL]

@@JunoReactorOfficial and would you look at that, works like a charm!

[@djtixer]

Just placed my pre-order for your 2-LP set. Incredible stuff. I keep hoping for another U.S. Tour, but this is the next best thing.

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

I will dj in the USA a few times, Minneapolis in June, and Texas in October? and maybe somewhere near Buffalo in May... I need more shows in the USA for sure and to bring the new band would be great.

[@getthoseskills4451]

What a track. Britain really does produce some talent. Huge shout from the US. Loving Juno Reactor and also other various UK electronica based acts like The Prodigy, Faithless, Burial, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, UNKLE, FSOL, Massive Attack, Leftfield, Stereo Mcs, The Streets, Goldie, The Bug, ALLFLAWS

Great! I never expected to see an art house film paired with trance, but it somehow works :)

Not sure if I would call this track trance? :)

[@nsmqac0118]

When the original version of this video came out many years ago, I was just stunned. It made me question the very fabric of our society... it simply disassembled every human habit or custom to its basic components. It did it so well that I could clearly see how everyday human behavior might seem extremely strange and unusual to an objective observer. This is a pure artistic masterpiece.

[@hannahrosewilliams8951]

Always a cool song and a very memorable video. Thanks for the great quality upload!

[@woolfyx]

One of the most enchanting music videos of all time now remastered in high quality. Awesome.

Always ahead of time 27 years later and the whole concept :video and music stands the test of time, Thank you very much for the inspiration Mr. Juno Reactor!!

Incredible, what a blast to the past! Thanks a lot for sharing :) What a weird imagery; it sure does go along perfectly with the music, yet I can only imagine what a weird watch the film would be!

It is a great film to dive into, there is a lot about the written about the symbols

I think "Bible of Dreams" was the first JR album I've heard. Still my favorite. Second fav is "Beyond the Infinite."

[@le_hardi6984]

Excellentissime...

[@skoog7091]

Great track that is one of my favourites. Remembering dancing to this in the 90s and dancing to the cover made by Laibach in the 00s. T😊

[@JunoReactorOfficial]

The Thieving bastards of Liabach 😀 I loved that they put out a cover version first, I love their music, i had a nice time with Ivan in Slovenia, went to the town they came from, a mining town, we went up to the top of the Mountain, and drank some strong drink and toasted his dads resting place, from their you can see for miles, and many other countries in the distance.

[@clivelindsay6635]

@@JunoReactorOfficial I love your track - and the version by Laibach, who happen to be one of my all-time favourite bands. Can you enlighten me as to how Laibach's cover ended up being released before your own original? I have searched Google without finding an explanation. Thank you in advance.

[@ZBM]

" We probably finished it around the first album "Transmissions," but it just didn't fit with the themes of those early albums." Wow, so it was written back in 1992-93? This composition was STRONGLY ahead of its time!❤
