Release of the delicately haunting and sacred score to Jaromil Jires' essential 
Eastern European hallucinogenic-baroque-witch-flick 'Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders'.
Lubos Fiser provides what is perhaps the greatest musical score of all the maligned Czech New Wave feature-films 
with a gossamer-fragile blend of pastoral-orchestral folk songs and clockwork harpsichords. 
From the very first delicate chord to the final crescendo this joyous sound is as addictive 
as the bizarre imagery seen in this seldom celebrated cinematic gem.
Naturally the list of musical pioneers who freely confess their allegiance to the score 
verifies it's elevated place in contemporary pop. Birmingham's dedicated concrete-pop-psych combo Broadcast 
recently paid homage to the soundtrack on their 'Ha-Ha Sound' LP while groups such as Espers, Fursaxa and Marissa Nadler recently contributed to a live performance of the soundtrack as a homage to its unwaning influence on their music. 
Echoes of the score can also be heard in recent music by Vashti Bunyen and it has been cited as a huge influence 
to the likes of Tim Burton who based the carnival scene at the end of 'Big Fish' on the original film.
Previously unprepared for public consumption the immaculate release has been compiled in close accordance 
to the original storyline which was released in 1935 as a surrealist novel by Vladislav Nezval. 
The orchestral suites of music have been separated into 23 chapters with titles derived from the controversial novella.

Juno Reactor was originally formed by Ben Watkins as an art project in 1990. 
Watkins wanted to create experimental music/non musical soundtracks that would work with installations, 
art pieces and film projects. Since then Juno Reactor has evolved to become a musical 
and performing act known for the cinematic fusion of electronic, orchestral and global music.
Watkins remains central to the project, along with his collaborations 
with a constantly changing ensemble of musicians from across the world. 
He also collaborated with composer Don Davis for the musical score of the film The Matrix.
In 1997 Juno Reactor's fourth album entitled "Bible of Dreams" was released. 
It had a much different sound than their previous albums, and moved away from the traditional dance beats
 by implementing more aggressive thematic styles and a more diverse range of influences such as world and tribal. 
Watkins collaborated with Amampondo, a traditional South African percussion act, on the single "Conga Fury".
All tracks made by Ben Watkins with the assistance of various collaborators 
(featuring among the others Mike Maguire and Natacha Atlas).
