"Davey Jones Locker", by meaning bottom of the sea as final rest for people who find their last home in the sea goes towards all the Drexciyan mithology. Drexciya define a whole topology under water the same way that topology is defined in outer space by UR/Red Planet. It is part of the same tendency of *ANY* culture to create a superior existence, either it be "Zion" for Rastafarianism, "Africa" for the descendants of the Black Atlantic, "Aztlan" (get it?) for Aztecs, or "Heaven" for judaism/christianism, somewaht the same as a spatial Nirvana. Drexciya simply present themselves as an aquatic assault unit, invisible like UR - Space is the Palce, but not necessarily "Space". Being underwater is the same as being in outer space, detachment from a culture that considers them aliens, mutant electrofreaks living in an aquatic distopia, reflecting complete alienation from "traditional" instruments, pure mutant electronics at the time where the human stops using the machine to simulate traditional sounds but synthethises mutations by him/itself. Detachment is the word for Drexciya. someone may remember an interview by someone (90% sure it was Banks') that said that the Drexciya guys were stopped from entering a club that was playing their music. How alienated can you go? If someone finds that text, I'd appreciate a copy of it. Can't realy remember Lay "Unconditional Empowerment" http://barkingcat.org/counterforce --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
