Juno Reactor - Guardian Angel

Juno Reactor - Guardian Angel 1995
Juno Reactor is a musical and performing act known for the cinematic fusion of electronic, orchestral and global music, the Matrix score and other film works. Central to the project is Ben Watkins, and his collaborations with a constantly changing ensemble of musicians from across the world, including percussionist Mabi Thobejane from South Africa along with countrymen Amampondo, Eduardo Niebla, Steve Stevens, Greg Ellis, Taz Alexander, Ghetto Priest and recently Yasmin Levy.
Originally Juno Reactor was formed as an art project in 1990; Ben Watkins wanted to collaborate with other artists to produce and be involved in exciting projects that were not commercially driven. He wanted to create experimental music/non musical soundtracks that would work with installations, art pieces and film projects.

Recently rewatched Texhnolyze and was reminded that there's nothing else like it that gets made these days. A damn near masterpiece that series was. This song is super fitting too!

[@meowsaidthecat82]

I have the dvds:) one of the animes I kept in my collection.

[@victorhugogoncalves4624]

Problem is i'm waiting for years for me forget everything about it so i can rewatch without remembering a lot of details, but that time never comes

[@StarMineBR]

I didn't skip any opening from Texhnolyze episodes, this one is such a banger!!

[@SlavaPolskaArmia]

Потому, что аниме студии поняли, что необязательно делать аниме с рваным повествованием, минимумом диалогов и посредственным сюжетом, чтобы оно стало хорошим.

[@mikakeinanen8382]

What do you mean "near" a masterpiece?

[@Sultanis91]

Petition to have it as mandatory soundtrack in every cyberpunk thing ever.

[@KKKVVV-ox6sm]

ahhh 2077

[@Dac_DT_MKD]

To have the same soundtrack in every cyberpunk thing ever would ruin the song.

[@nlnu1337]

No thanks it would ruin it with how shit "modern" cyberpunk is

[@zapan9643]

Technolyze has it in the intro

[@ja-si]

you have my signature good sir. Just finished watching Texhnolyze 🥲

[@KamuiKunitsuna]

I have seen Texhnolyze, twice, and the second time it was MUCH more depressing than the first time. This track fits absolute perfectly. Dark, deep, depressive and still energetic.

[@KitsGravity]

Still the greatest anime ever made 13 years later

[@Z3MBlE]

"If there's anything you want, anything at all.. come to me. I'll be your guardian angel."

Actually this was realeased a thousand years into the future and came back and landed in 1995 for some reason. Ben Watkins trolled everybody.

[@thomasbeimer7062]

... that after 15 years this masterpiece has only 1 Mio views, proves that mankind is doomed!

[@Laughing_Individual]

I first heard this track in the movie Drive (1997) and after years of trying to find it I run into again as a Opening Theme for the anime Texhnolyze. Damn fate, you scary!

[@Laughing_Individual]

During the motorbike fight scene at the Apollo bar near the end. After Toby told Maleek about a plan B to fight them off.

[@rafaelroman4513]

you know this people actually have music on the matrix , film witch was inspired by cyberpunk anime (ghost in the shell for the most )

TECHNO RULES, FOREVER!!❤❤❤❤

[@LydiaReiko]

nowadays the genre has split.. its no longer techno, but goa trance

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

Absolutely, dude! REAL techno, too. 😎👍

[@ShadowWolfIsBack]

​@@LydiaReikoNope. Techno is a solid style, just like house. It's not going anywhere. People just can't commercialize it like before because sampling is now very limited with all the copyright obstacles that we now have worse than ever. But, this track was always goa trance. Techno is simply its origin and techno has many styles within it, including goa trance. True techno itself (early 90's techno 1990-1996) was spawned from EBM, industrial, very little electro funk and A LOT of new beat. So yes, this track is techno in general, but is goa trance more specifically. It's a lot like how rock has many styles within it as well, including heavy metal.

[@ShadowWolfIsBack]

​@@HowlingMoonCinemasYup. Techno indeed.

[@LydiaReiko]

its like calling the domestic cat an ocelot just because it recently evolved from them.. sure go ahead with whatever you think it is then

[@andrewbates8076]

True story, cross my heart.... Whenever I bought a new sound system, this was one of 3 tracks I would play before laying down my cash, along with "Enya" and "Metallica", purely to hear if the speakers could handle the bass. Anyway, I banged this out blaring in Curry's (I'm that old) and 2 staff members came running over. I assumed I was about to get told off, and was about to say "Fuck off, this costs 500 quid, I'm just testing the bass", but they pre-empted me with... " Who the fuck is this, and where can we get a copy?"

[@distractednine_di]

This is definitely the best song I've ever heard in my life.

[@PsychoticLuke]

I Love Juno Reactor because they're sooo unique! So many bands these days play the same music over and over... but that's not the case with Juno Reacter - their music has always been enchanting, mystical... really exotic! :D Things you really don't hear everyday! You actually get surprised that the music CAN be played THIS well! LOL!

[@Boleniana]

Texhnolyze may have been weird as hell, but no one can deny that it had an EPIC opening, mostly due to this song~

Today (April 17 2020) I looked for the animatrix soundtrack, saw a piece by Juno reactor and remembered that I knew that name but now how. Looked a bit more found this and now wondered where i knew this from, looked at the comments and the first comment by 'Blarg EminA' told me (Texhnolyze). I love these kind of realization that happen from time to time.

[@frankvista]

I take your word and agree; just being sure. For those who are not familiar with Goa-Trance, that would probably be a popular genre to classify JR as: which it is a genre that arose in India during their electronic music era. However as Ben Watkins describes, I would not not generalize the group as anything else but JR; which is I suppose the reason I like them so much.
