Drexciya?

Expect Omar to elaborate any moment, if he can pull himself away from the new Dutch 'De Subjectivisten' group.

The Quest is probably their most essential release. Neptune's Layer and Harnessed the Storm are good, but not essential. I would recommend picking up last years Other People's Place album on Warp. It is half of Drexciya, and besides Dopplereffkt, the best thing to come out of that camp.

I still need to hear the Transllusion record.

I thought Japanese Telecom is Dopplereffekt.?. Drexciya's air of mystery is not exclusive to them. It seems 1/3 of the Detroit Electro scene maintains secret identities. Even worse, when I tried to license a Dopplereffekt song for a compilation, he wanted $5000 for the use of one song (as opposed to $500 of the other 13 artists). I tried to get Drexciya tracks but they were very poor about responding to messages. This all just shows how Detroit's Techno/Electro scene is self supported and love to put off anyone not in the loop as the other artists and labels I licensed stuff from were very high profile and cooperative (Rephlex, Intuit-Solar, Joey Boy, etc.)

September 3, 2002, came and went like any other day — until that evening, actually, when a message, startling to most, raced through the electronic-music world with lightning speed. James Marcel Stinson, the driving force behind the enigmatic Drexciya outfit, was dead.

etc.

i love the other people place record, its so...lakeside drive. perfect

Also, C/D? S/D? etc.

(very classic btw)

sorry strong, geeta, andy - i am thinking of ur blogs too, all the time =(

I loath that quote so much. A fine example of a Calimero (as we say around these parts).

(weak spot of course as Eshun stated: Dusseldorf was the Mississippi-delta of techno. :)

I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions for Techno/Electro similar to Drexciya's awesome EP The Journey Home.

revive.

new heinrich muller mix on RA

v. sci-fi, I'm 15 minutes in and enjoying it

So, is there actually any way to acquire "The Quest" without either paying crazy money for it or DLing it illegally? Are there any chances of it being reissued in the future?

Is The Quest that long out of print? I didn't realize that... I've had my copy for a long time, I suppose. Anyhow, painfully, amazingly classic stuff. I love the side-projects as well. I named my first cat Drexciya.

The cheapest used (cd) copy of it I could find on sale on the net is over 70 euros, so yeah, it's definitely in need of a reissue.

There's a copy on ebay which isn't that mad money at the moment. I named my cat heinrich mueller.

There is? Could you maybe provide a link to the EBay page, I can't find it...

i just realised that they seem to be sending to the uk only :/ - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Drexciya-Quest-double-CD-Rare-Detroit-Techno-/110729525835

Oh dear, that's that then...

Hello.

http://www.factmag.com/2011/09/01/drexciyas-early-releases-to-be-reissued/

“We will re-issue the early Drexciya catalogue on Clone. We are currently busy restoring the original master tapes, and hopefully we have the first one ready before the end of the year! Of course we will keep you updated on the process.”

Oh, this is great news!

The Transllusion album is so good

The Jack Peoples release is lovely. Much more similar to The Other People Place than Drexciya

i have decided to call it dr blowfin's aquabong

The Transllusion album is so good

This has just been released and it's great: Transllusion - A Moment Of Insanity.

It's pretty decent but one of their weaker releases for me. Still, Drexciya's weaker material is better than 99% of all the techno and electro out there

Drexciya? Isn't that the name of that famous shemale pornstar? I didn't know (s)he made records. But the "Drexciyan race" references would explain all 'hir' extra...appendages.

Whaaaaaa

If any London-based Drexciya fans are at a loose end this evening, I'll be playing Stinson/Donald tracks all night at the Pretty Decent Beer Co in Forest Gate from 7pm to mark 16 years since James Stinson passed away.
