The Golden Sun of the Great East is the eighth studio album by the electronic/trance band Juno Reactor.

Even when paying homage to their roots, the band continues to remain an evolving experiment, always fresh, and they once again proved they can’t be slapped under one single genre label.

"[2] The website reflectionsofdarkness.com gave it a rating of 7.5/10, writing, "This album can certainly be enjoyed and relaxed to, though it’s not exactly ground-breaking and the Eastern influences and even the compositions sometimes can be far too predictable.

"[4] In a positive review for Intravenous Magazine, Sean Palfrey wrote, "With 'The Golden Sun Of The Great East', Watkins returns to do what he does best.

Instead Watkins focusses on the kind sheer cinematic scope and evocative song writing that is begging to be part of a huge live show.
