Juno Reactor - My next 10 favourite songs

I did my top 10 favourite Juno Reactor songs earlier in my blog.  Now, I want to share my next 10 Juno Reactor songs that I like but are songs that haven't been recognized as being great.  I think the majority of the songs on this list should be more recognized and hopefully over time, they will be.  There will probably another 10 Juno Reactor songs list that I could do in the future.  But for now lets start with the list:

1. 10, 000 Miles from the Transmission album.
- Now on the whole, the Transmission album is generally not recognized as being one of Juno Reactor's better albums (or the most listened to either).  However there are a few gems in the Transmission album one of them being 10, 000 Miles (another one is High Energy Protons but that song is more recognized).

2. Magnetic from the Beyond the Infinite album
- Again Beyond the Infinite is one of Juno Reactor's earlier albums and like Transmission, it is often forgotten about.  There are many songs from this album that I like but there is one song in particular that doesn't get mentioned as it should.  That song is Magnetic.  I think this song is one Juno Reactor's finest, it has a nice Spanish guitar section, which often gets over looked (plus another song which has the Spanish guitar, Pistolero, is more widely recognized).

3. Kaguya Hime from the Bible of Dreams album
- I have made a blog post about what Kaguya Hime is all about.  Most people don't know the whole back story behind this song is so it is understandable that many people won't know what the lyrics mean or what they are.  Overall, this is a very nice song to listen once you understand the meaning of the song is.

4. Song for Ancestors from the Shango album
-  Many people feel that this song is too slow, but actually I think this is why this song is so good.  It's very moody and very pleasant to listen to the vocals of this song.  Add in the nice percussion from Amampondo and this track is pure golden.

5. Angels and Men from the Labyrinth album
- This song is absolutely amazing.  Taz Alexander's singing in this song is spectacular.  This song is even better when played live.  I saw the live version of it when I went to San Francisco and it was absolutely amazing.

6. Las Vegas Future Past from the Gods and Monsters album
-  What if you combined elements of Jazz and Electronic?  Well you would probably come up with this song.  How Ben Watkins managed to come up with song is just pure genius.

7. Playing With Fire from the Golden Sun of the Great East album
-  I think this song was originally supposed to be in the Gods and Monster album but then it was scrapped.  I'm glad Ben brought this back for his latest album because it is very good.  My only wish is that this song could have been longer.

8. Bond Between Mother and Child from the Brave Story soundtrack
- The Brave Story soundtrack is one of the least recognized music in the world.  The Brave Story soundtrack has many songs that just great.  One of them is Bond Between Mother and Child.  The piano in this is just incredible.  This song reminds me of my own mother.

9. Song to the Siren
- This song is a cover of Tim Buckley's Song to Siren.  It often gets over looked since other artists have done the same cover (Mortal Coil).  Taz Alexander provides the epic vocals once again.  Also, this is not in any of Juno Reactor's album as well.

10. Hotaka from the Odyssey EP
-  Since this song doesn't appear in any of Juno Reactor's albums, it is often over looked.  This song features the Taiko playing group from Japan called Gocoo.  Gocoo was featured prominently in the Matrix movies but this song was the start of it all.  There is a cool music video of this song.

Well that is it for now.  Like I said, I could make another Top Ten list in the future just on Juno Reactor songs because there is so much to choose from.  Season 6 for Diablo 3 is coming soon so stay tuned for some updates about it.  Also, I managed to get a BlizzCon ticket again so I will be traveling to Anaheim again in November. 

Diablo 3 Season 5 Review

Well Diablo 3 Season 5 just ended yesterday (April 15th).  I ended up doing pretty good for the season.  My original goal was to play a crusader but that didn't end up like I wanted to.  I also wanted to get the extra stash space from getting the Conqueror seasonal journey.   Like I mentioned before, my original goal of playing the crusader was brief.  When I ended up dying the second time on the crusader, I switched over to the witch doctor.  I was pretty amazed at how fast I could level up on my witch doctor so I just stuck to it.  Overall, I ended getting up to paragon 763 and my final greater rift level that I reached was to greater rift 70 (which ranked me at 373 for all seasonal hardcore witch doctors).  I ended up getting the Conqueror seasonal journey at the end of February and just missed the Destroyer seasonal journey (I needed to get another conquest done and also a 3min rift done).  Although I didn't get the Destroyer seasonal journey, I was pretty happy to achieve what I did.  

So for the most of the season, I was playing on my witch doctor.  The witch doctor set I was using was the Helltooth set.  It is a very good set and pretty easy to gear for.  I was using a Scrimshaw for most of the time because I couldn't find a good ancient Sacred Harvester.   When I finally did find a good ancient Sacred Harvester, I managed to break greater rift 60 and pretty much completed the Conqueror seasonal journey.  It took many tries re-rolling a Sacred Harvester (I think it took over 10 tries to get an ancient one) so I ended up doing lots of bounties.  Now most of my gear have the Caldesann's Despair leveled up to 300 int.   I am also using an Unity ring instead of a Convention of Element ring.  This makes my character super tanky and I feel as though I can't die ever even in a high greater rift.  I wanted to build a Legacy of Nightmare set but I couldn't find a decent ancient Litany of the Undaunted or an ancient Wailing Host ring.  I will probably try building a Legacy of Nightmare in the off-season.  Another goal that I want to finish during the off-season is to cube all the items again.  So far, I have managed to cube items for all the classes except the demon hunter.  I think I am missing 10 items for it so it shouldn't be too long to finish it.  I ended up using lots of death breaths to complete the other cube items for the other classes. 

Well that is all for season 5.  For season 6, I will probably stick with the witch doctor.  I will probably end up playing with the Helltooth set again and maybe a Legacy of Nightmare set.  The buffs for the witch doctor next season will be really good (I think witch doctor pets are getting a big time buff).  I hope to accomplish what I did in season 5, that is to get the Conqueror seasonal journey done and get as high paragon level as I did before.
