Re: (313) Drexciya Research Lab
Just found E Coli by Ultradyne. Instantly recognised the track called Dyslexia. I think I remember it from a lost mixtape. But yeah, it's a lot like some Drexciya tracks. Even the name of the track is similar.On Nov 13, 2013, at 03:17 PM, Steven Robertson stev...@me.com wrote:Ha, I found that on Discogs and first read it as Pi Goa Movement which I thought would be way off mark, but actually it's nothing of the sort.

Re: (313) Drexciya Research Lab
If only I could get my hands on it all!It's always great to find something new like that. I don't mean more by the same artists, though, necessarily. I've once been to the US, on a business trip to NYC around 1998 and I went to Sonic Groove and bought many of the Direct Beat records they had, and a few t-shirts I wore for years, or lost (tragically). Indulgent.If I were still mixing I'd be picking out tracks for a mix. I might do that, sometime. At the moment I just see it's a bit of an education. You've mentioned a couple of things that I'll definitely check out.

Re: (313) Drexciya Research Lab
Hi there Steve, Definitely check out the We Still Kill The Old Way compilations on Clone https://clone.nl/item1692.html https://clone.nl/item2136.html You should recognize these from DJ Stingray mixes which is a good sign. D.I.E, Electrofunk, Motech, Aux 88 of course. If you find the right seller on Discog, you can maybe net a few such records. Maybe also keep an eye out for Street Sounds, http://www.streetsounds.co/street_sounds_radio_show.php cheers C On 2013-11-11 15:18, Steven Robertson wrote: Here's a page I've created listing that Discography with links to Discogs, all ordered by year of release. http://k-os.net/research/electro-techno [2] I'm also interested in the music that inspired Drexciya.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
First impressions of this are that it's definitely sounding pretty different from the original releases, I think AT has done a nice job and it's a good thing he didn't try to recreate the original sound. The mastering is a lot more clear and crisp, and a lot less distorted than on the originals. You can hear a lot more detail in certain tracks. Ron Murphy definitely played his part in turning these tracks into dancefloor destroyers. For a fan it definitely has to be heard, just because you can really hear a distinctly different take on the music you thought you knew so well. Anyone else got it yet?

I have the CD atm and just waiting on the vinyl to be delivered.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
My copy arrived today, so I plan on doing an extensive comparison this weekend. While I had initially planned on passing on this set of reissues, I have to tip my hat to clone, by releasing it at the end of the year I had some spare xmas money to throw their way. I'm sure I'll continue to take the originals to play out and will leave the fancy comp for home listening / playing ala the shake reissues. Which I'm sure is the exact opposite of what others do, but then again I'm the oddball still playing wax to begin with. Have a happy new year folks! May the next 366 give you more tunes to jam out to and then argue about later! jw On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Patrick Wacher pwac...@gmail.com wrote: I have the CD atm and just waiting on the vinyl to be delivered.

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.
I know Alden has done alot of mastering for a bunch of Clone releases and obviously his own works, and IMO, they have always sounded great. I would hazard a guess that he is a Drexciya fan and would have treated the project with the respect it deserves. My copy is likely flying across the Atlantic now, but as with you all, very keen to see what he has done with them! - P.

I'll be honest - it hasn't been very much fun for me. The number of Stinson/Donald tracks that I love is a very low percent compared to the ones that I really can't stand! ;) Funny to read this, I have the same Problem. I really really love the Journey Home EP on Warp, Other People Place (Warp and Clone) and Davy Jones Locker (great track!) on the True Techno Comp. I also have a copy of Digital Tsunami. But I listened to some records on UR, multiple times, but haven't bought any because I wasn't overwhelmed by them... (with a recordstore employee declaring me nuts...) Maybe I should give it another try. I love the emotion in the records that I possess, maybe I'm missing this emotion in the records I haven't bought Or have listened to the wrong records Also very curious what your top tracks are!

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)
i was easily able to find the clarence g tracks, but ain't no way i am paying for the vinyl! in fact, there's nothing by stinson/donald listed on discogs that i was unable to borrow from the internet. i say borrow because i'll be deleting all the mp3s from my computer as soon as i decide i am done with the project. i might buy some of the clone reissues depending on what tracks they release.

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)
For me, I tend to think of Drexciya's music as an overall ouevre; for example, put on The Quest and read Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or for that matter, cycle through their entire catalog on a low level (especially if you've got, say, a house wired with surround sound in every room and a central broadcasting source) and spend a dreary winter weekend with Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus Trilogy. But Frank, I totally agree with you - few tracks stand out on their own and bear repeated plays as singles; that said, when you throw one into a mix unexpectedly, I've seen people just lose their minds on the dance floor. It's almost the secret handshake of techno once you're somewhere besides Detroit. There's no denying Stinson's influence on many Detroit artists and producers, or that Drexciya's trademark bubbling and popping funk sounds are audible in, say, Luke Eargoggle's tracks, giving them a Frankenstein's castle in the year 2060 quality. My only regret is that they never produced an animated feature fleshing out the Aquabahn mythology with a full soundtrack; seems like it'd be perfect for a midnight double feature along with that French 1973 classic, Fantastic Planet. Has anyone considered selectively scoring a silent film with their work? If not, I'd love to see/hear it... a girl can dream!

i use a lot of drexciyan tracks in my tv show called the Source Data show on patv.tv i mix vinyl, then grab some footage off the inter-web, them mix that live over the audio. i've used tracks off the quest, maybe a few others, steralization from DE and an arpanet track. only made three shows as they are labor intensive but more soon.

Long may it continue, I hope ;-).

I go through Drexciya-fests every now and then, though not to the extent
you are right now. Twenty-four hours of the same artist sounds arduous,
though. I can't imagine listening to that much of anyone's music,
except maybe Atom Heart or Pierre Henry.
My favorite is still Neptune's Lair, especially Running Out of Space
and Lost Vessel

minimal classical (Steve Reich, Philip Glass) and techno music. I
wondered if completely saturating my ears with only their music would
change my opinion/enlighten me to their supposed genius at all.
To date I am about halfway through the project based on mostly casual
subway ride listening, and I've not been as diligent in avoiding the
fast forward button as I'd hoped I could be. It's really difficult to
stick to one artist who produced a pretty consistent style of music
without listening to anything else for such an extended period of
time. I do occasionally give my ears a bit of a break and allow myself
to hear some non Stinson/Donald tunage.
To date Wavejumper from their 1995 Aquatic Invasion EP remains my
absolute favorite Drexciya tune:

As a side note, the name I've given this experiment - Drexciyan

Sadly, it's been nearly a decade since early '90s Detroit
techno/electro duo Drexciya last released new music. However, we've
just discovered that reissues of the pair's early material will be
surfacing in the near future. Clone Classic Cuts, the reissues imprint
for Dutch label Clone, announced just yesterday: We will reissue the
early Drexciya catalogue on Clone. We are currently busy restoring the
original master tapes, and hopefully we will have the first one ready
before the end of the year! Of course, we will keep you updated on the
process. No further details were shared, but the news itself is
certainly exciting, to say the least. (via FACT)

Yeah, Wavejumper. Lost Vessel also got that something something. But for some reason i never got around to play that one, dunno why. WaveJumper is probably my favorite as well... but as far as general listening, The Other People place gets played over and over and over again. But that's easy listening.

I have to put my vote in for Aqua Worm Hole... when those bubbling appegiated lead synth comes in, transports your mind to another level (another Drexciya ref there for the spotters)... oh and that stepped bassline carries that track all the way thru. Oh and Sighting In The Abyss is something else, almost new wave... was a great way to finish off that Aquatic Invasion ep. 8-203X out...

Re: (313) Drexciya The Quest CD
I remember picking this up at HMV one afternoon in June 1998. Then putting it down. I thought it was extravagant to buy it when I already had the LP. Also the tracks missing off the CD are all available elsewhere in the catalogue. The completist in me regrets not owning it but, not much. I can understand the inflated S/H price though: Drexciya+hard to find item+it's an almost complete compilation of what they did up to 1996ish.

I disagree - there's a tiny bit of ghettotech here, but this mix is far from standard ghettotech fair. True, he plays a lot of stuff sped up on 45, and he mixes the tracks in and out really fast, but I don't think this style is strictly limited to ghettotech. For one, the track selection demonstrates a knowledge of electro that to me is very DREXCIYAN. Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!

Lots of time and events passed between that and the list they finally released to the public. -d - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
