There are only two Wave Jumpers in existence TODAY: DREXCIYA POX

Drexciya only, no Gerald Donald solo/Dopplereffekt etc.

Galaxy Ways - "Grava 4"
Birth of New Life - "Harnessed the Storm"
Lab Rat 3 - "Lab Rat XL"
Astronomical Guidepost - "Grava 4"
Journey Home - "The Journey Home"
Andraean Sand Dunes - "Neptune's Lair"
Funk Release Valve - "Neptune's Lair"
Lost Vessel - "Neptune's Lair"
Dehydration - "The Quest"
Vampire Island - "The Quest"

I love this stuff so much — I wouldn't have any trouble choosing 50.

bubble metropolis
black sea
devil ray cove
andraean sand dunes
running out of space
lost vessel
c to the power of x...
aquabahn
surface terrestrial colonization
dr blowfin's black storm stabilising spheres

drexciya are probably my favourite user of pad chords (or at least that same pad they use on most of this stuff) ever, rly need to listen to harnessed the storm more. they also have the best track titles ever.

Yes to all of the above.

Harnessed the Storm has the only Drexciya track that's given me chills, "Birth of New Life", and not only because it's the last Drexciya track on their last release.

i posit that c to the power of x... is the best beatless shit to come out of detroit (apart from jeff mills 'yantra' if that counts)

I don't know any Jeff Mills! What do you recommend?

go here Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Derrick May

Awesome, thank you.

"red hills of lardossa"
"neon falls"
"black sea"
"cascading celestial giants"
"let me be me"

was waiting for you to get here — only five?

"Lab Rat 1"
"Wave Jumper"
"Vampire Island"
"Rublick's Cube"
"Depressurisation"
"Cascading Celestial Giants"
"Drexcyen Star Chamber"
"Intensified Magnetron"
"Running Out of Space"
"Oxyplasmic Gyration Beam"

Bonus: "Sunrays" but discounted cos of uncertain status

"bubble metropolis"
"wave jumper"
"lonely journey of the comet bopp"
"final transmission"
"hydro theory"

Lab Rat 3 is the best Drexciya track and fuiud

UUUUNNNNNNNNNNGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

that's actually a great fan-made video!

YO

why would anybody buy those clone classic cuts comps? aren't the albums still all in print?

nah, most of the tracks were on 'the quest' 2cd comp that had the masters destroyed after he died, hence the fact that its on discogs for £200 and makes me wish i knew where the hell i left the booklet

oh "the quest" is OOP forever?

well, that would do it.

LET ME BE WHAT I WANNA BE

There was some discussion on this in the Sandbox, but in the case you didn't know, Clone is releasing the stuff that was on Quest, as well as other early Drexciya tracks, on four comps; the first one came out in 2011, the second one this year, and the third will come out next month. The comps are a bit short and the packaging is weird, at least on the CDs (they come in oversized digipaks with only minimal liner notes), but the sound quality is great, so I don't think the masters were destroyed.

Whoops, sorry, didn't notice Vahid already mentioned the comps.

So, what solo projects by the Drexciya guys do you think are worth acquiring? I have the Shifted Phases album and the first Arpanet album, and while they're both decent, I think they're a bit too simplistic and boring. Is there anything in their solo catalogues that would have the textural gorgeousness of Harnessed the Storm?

get the other people place album immediately

also:
transllusion - opening of the cerebral gate
lab rat xl - mice or cyborg
arpanet - inertial frame
dopplereffekt - linear accelerator

o yeah forgot the abstract thought album

yeah, the other people place album is better than anything by drexciya imo (and better than most things in general)

agreed
