[Freenure]

Man, I got this on my cellphone and i let it play when i go to sleep. It gives me some good relaxation before i sleep...

[peterkougi]

I love Luciana. Anyone know what language the vocals are in?

[idrinkk]

@peterkougi i think it's a dialect of hindu

[Deadpool]

The birth of Juno Reactor...? Transmissions came before Luciana. Wouldn't that have been the birth?

[AVfoundry]

Yes and no.

The music on Luciana was made BEFORE Transmissions, for an art installation, called Juno Reactor, which entailed driving around a decommissioned nuclear missile around London to raise awareness of nuclear war. That's where this video is from. That was the start of Juno Reactor, which was the nickname of the missile.

But in terms of discography releases, they released Luciana on CD AFTER Transmissions, so you are right on that.

the video doesn't fit the music. when i listen to it i imagine either a space-craft trapped by a black-hole and slowly sucked in, with flaskbacks of images going trough the crew's minds (small crew, 2-4 people), or an underwater ship (a big one, titanic-like) and the struggle of the spirits of the dead to get to spiritual light, to "heavens".

[Freenure]

I don´t know about you, but when I am looking for a song, I play it on youtube first, regardless of the images on the video. This vid was no exception.

[TraceurMikado]

this is booring

[AVfoundry]

because you don't know the history behind it.

and that make YOU boring.

[Freenure]

This song really rocks.

Listen to it lying on your bed, on complete darkness. It´ll feel like you are being taken by aliens.

But my favorite parts are when the female voice sings.

Imagination. Use It As A Weapon.

[guaranaa]

wasnt this song just a 45 minute track made up completly by sound effects .. no real beats of instruments involved?

45 minutes of what it would sound like to be locked in the hull or engine room in a space craft

[AVfoundry]

Yes it was. This is just a segment from it. Ben Watkins provided it

[Floorkilla18]

its more than 60 minutes long ;)

[AVfoundry]

about 62 actually

[Redington931]

61 minutes and 21 seconds if you want to be tedious about it. But yeah, it's very minimal. But with the right atmosphere (at night, with the lights off, no source of light to distract you) and patience to let your mind give away and let the music embrace you, it can be quite an experience. But most people will find it boring and not really music at all. But that's understandable. It's really more subtle than most songs.
