- markus reuter (feat. fabio trentini and asaf sirkis): TRUCE 2
(2022, cd, usa, moonjune)
The Bandcamp info starts by saying that Markus Reuter's "TRUCE 2" album is the 120th release by the MoonJune Records label. What an achievement!!
The label started in 2001 and focused a lot on the Soft Machine branches in the early stages. Through the years, however, MoonJune Records has produced an incredible number of albums by some amazing artists, resulting in the impressive fact that MoonJune Records, the record label, became a synonym for quality label.

As the title suggests, "TRUCE 2" is the follow-up of the power trio's 2020 "TRUCE" album.
Again, it's a a very powerful album.

Markus adds:
"A bit over 2 years ago, the first TRUCE album came to us as a big surprise. Upon its release it was an instant success and fan favorite. That was another, most-welcome surprise. Now, two years later, we are about to put out the follow up album, TRUCE 2.
The time between these 2 recording session is where things got interesting. No need to explain about the practical impact the pandemic had on us. Cancelled concerts, cancelled recordings sessions, etc. Things had turned out quite differently from what we had in mind for the band.
But anyway, as we were playing the first few takes in the studio in July 2021, we quickly realized that playing like on the first album just didn’t work. This was suddenly a new band that was like a stranger to us. Yes, we’re the same people, but it felt like there were new souls in our bodies. The self-reflection and the emotional rollercoaster had left an imprint in our souls, and it is reflected in the music for me. There simply was a different story to tell this time… And we had to discover that story as we went along."
