jt,
The 12" is definitely more pounding than a lot of recent Drexciyan
releases. That said, it's still a bit on the experimental tip. Two of
the tracks are pounding techno grooves: one with a twisted sort of
Detroit feel (offkey synth stabs) and the other with harsh spacy sounds
layered in. The third has more of an electrobass feel, but still
retains that Drexciyan deepness (probably my favorite of the 3 tracks).
Nothing really "earcatching" with any of the tracks, but that's pretty
much Drexciya's style of late (as you say, different and less direct).
I passed on the last Tresor release as well but feel that this one is a
bit better (although definitely not Drex's best work).

raoul! wutsup! you got me anxious to hear it but then i dont think
they're getting "better & better" like you..not exactly worse, but
different and less direct..
and alex! wutsup! you got me lowering my expectations, but then you are
mentioning the last tresor stuff...which i thought was the absolute
weakest! no basslines either, except for on about 3 tracks..(huh?)
really meandering kinda nowhere stuff..
and then there's arne who's comparing it to drexciya 3 one of my
favorites!
i guess with these 3 crazily different opinions, it must be a classic!

nah, no basslines JT.
I only have the 12", but I've listened to it a few times and it's
nothing
to write home about.
The 12" and LP on Tresor are head and shoulders above this one,
although
I've not heard the full LP........
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when I got it...........
3 rhythm tracks really, no melody or bassline, at least one of which is
abstract kind of electronica stuff.
It's kind of closer to the Translusion thing than to the Drexciya
thing on
tresor......
