Juno

There are at least six artists that have used this name: 1. Juno was an American indie rock band formed in Seattle, WA in 1995. They released their debut album This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes on DeSoto Records on March 30, 1999. Their second album A Future Lived in Past Tense was released May 8, 2001. Although their two albums are very paced, steady, slow-burning epics with the occasional explosion of fireworks (hear Leave a Clean Camp and a Dead Fire for a quintessential Juno track)...

Piano Magic

Piano Magic is Franck Alba, Glen Johnson, Alasdair Steer and Jerome Tcherneyan. Piano Magic was formed in the summer of 1996 by Glen Johnson, Dominic Chennell, and Dick Rance in London, England, as a bedroom-studio project with the intention to base their recordings around a small nucleus and whomever else would like to contribute. Reluctant to perform live, they eventually gave way to label pressure recruiting Paul Tornbohm on the way but pointedly playing none of their released material.
