Labyrinth is the sixth studio album released by the multi-genre electronic/trance group Juno Reactor. It was released on October 26, 2004 (2004-10-26) in the United States and on September 29, 2004 (2004-09-29) in Japan.

Overview

The album contains several pieces that hold various forms of sound ranging from orchestral, industrial, and techno as well as containing Juno Reactor's trademark tribal sound (possibly as best featured in Conquistador II). The album also features two songs from Watkins' collaboration with The Matrix composer Don Davis on the films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, "Mona Lisa Overdrive" (from Reloaded) and "Navras" (from Revolutions). The version of "Mona Lisa Overdrive" is different from that featured on the film's soundtrack. It is shortened from its original time of 10:08 to 4:45 and there are easily noticeable differences in the sound of the bass and tone of the songs. "Navras" is a remix of Davis' song "Neodämmerung" (German for "The Twilight of Neo") that was played over the end credits of The Matrix Revolutions. One known single of "Zwara" was released in Japan on November 26, 2003 as a promo.
