In that article, this bit about the Shifted Phases pretty interesting:

Stinson’s death in September 2002 hardly stemmed the tide: Appearing posthumously were another Transllusion album (2002’s L.I.F.E. on Rephlex), Lab Rat XL’s Mice Or Cyborg in 2003 via Clone and Shifted Phases’ The Cosmic Memoirs of the Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthorpe, also released in 2002 via Tresor. At least, the Shifted Phases album is widely believed to have been by Stinson. According to Stoiber, however, Donald gave Stinson the completed album as a wedding present, “so it’s a Gerald record.”

If Shifted Phases is indeed Donald and not Stinson, then that would certainly mean Donald was contributing to Drexciya records post-1995, because the last track on the Shifted Phases album is the same tune as "Song of the Green Whale" on Harnessed the Storm.

There was a great Wire piece by Kodwo Eshun that went deep into the mythos surrounding the various incarnations of Drexciya, playing heavily on Paul Gilroy's Black Atlantic.

I threw out all my old Wires last week and can't check which edition. I felt I needed to confess.

the red bull piece mentions and links the piece: https://www.last.fm/pt/user/sannur/journal/2010/12/28/44l6br_fear_of_a_wet_%20planet_-_kodwo_eshun_on_drexc%EE%80%80!a

one year passes...

transllusion l.i.f.e. is maybe the most out-there stinson/drexciya-related release, it is incredible

Exhibition by Otolith Group that ties in directly with Drexciya , influenced by the mythos etc. & had talks by Kodo Eshun and Deforrest Brown last Saturday. Followed a while later by a dj set by Brown.

Has had me investigating the music of the band. I think I may have read the Kodwo Eshun piece way way back since I've been picking up Wire since the mid 90s.
Tresor seem to be running low on their supply of the reissue if the bandcamp page is anything to go by. May not be but is down to the single digits there. Am I think right that the 2 album length sets include the e,p as bonus tracks or as in one each.
Been listening to individual tracks on Spotify but may not be the best way to immerse myself.

After splitting with his long term girlfriend, and in a moment of weakness, my best mate purchased a physical copy of a pornographic magazine named “Panty Girl” from the local newsagents. Amusingly, there was a review of Drexciya’s Neptune’s Lair in the small music section, which just seemed rather incongruous.

It was a very positive review though.
