Review

All too often, techno recordings that sounded exciting in the clubs of the late '80s and early to late '90s didn't hold up well at home, where their limitations became quite obvious. Bible of Dreams, on the other hand, is interesting both on and off the dancefloor. Instead of simply concerning itself with the number of beats per minute it can provide, Juno Reactor delivers trance to sit down and listen to. The mostly instrumental material (though with scattered soundbites and samples) is varied, and the group fuses trance with everything from Middle Eastern music ("God Is God") to heavy metal ("Swamp Thing"). ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

Samples

  • The song "God Is God" contains a sampling of Charlton Heston proclaiming, "...you shall see hail fall from a clear sky and burn as fire upon the ground, you shall see darkness cover Egypt...and you shall know that God is God..." This sample is from Cecil B. DeMille's film The Ten Commandments (1956).
