Inter-Modo was an ambient imprint which was set up and briefly headed by Alex Paterson of The Orb in 1994. There are only three releases proper on the label of which this is the second. The first is the Robert Fripp collaboration, "FFWD" and the third is "Mettle" by Autocreation.

This is the best of the three, I reckon. In fact, I'd rate this up there as one of the finest immersive ambient works I've ever heard and it's still sounding fantastic today - unlike so many of the ambient albums from the mid 90's boom period, which now sound horribly dull and dated in comparison. Perhaps the secret of this one is the distinctly dark shadows it casts as it unfurls over the course of its 60 minutes.

Initially Juno Reactor consisted of Ben Watkins and Stefan Holwick who collaborated to produce an intense experimental ambient soundtrack to go along with performance and sculpture artist Norma Fletcher's "The Missile Project". Their debut album, "Transmissions" was a more beats driven affair, but this second album was a much braver and interesting release, comprised of the reworked tracks created for "The Missile Project".
