I know what you mean about the sort of Drexciyan underwater dance party and how 
hard it would be to capture that sort of thing on video! 

I read somewhere that when Parliament made the "Motor Booty Affair" album, the 
original plan was that it would be a soundtrack to a film Clinton was hoping to 
make that was based on the concept of an undersea party - I always thought that 
if that had been made (it never actually materialised) it would be a pretty 
Drexciyan sort of video. As it stands the most appropriate visual accompaniment 
to Drexciya's music that I've come across is that movie "Atlantis" by Luc 
Besson (although with the sound turned off, of course)...

Another good Drexciya-style image is the cover of "Techno City" by EVIAN on 
Techno Kut - I can't find it online, but it has a couple of line-drawn starfish 
and squids hanging around holding SH-101s (with the extension thingy you use to 
be able to play it like a guitar) and TR-808s in front of an aquatic backdrop 
of seaweed and corals. The music is really nice on that release as well; 
seriously proto-Drexciyan sound and visuals from 1988!

I would love to see some Drexciyan dance party video scene, but I don't know
if any video could really manage to capture the party that goes on in my
head!!!!
