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  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.

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.

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,

(313) Drexciya + Mary Boyoi and other new stuff

[andrewdukecognit...@gmail.com]

Been playing a lot of Drexciya lately (my 3 and 5-year-old kids love to say 
"Drexciya!") via Journey of the Deep Sea Dweller 1 and 2 on Clone Classic Cuts 
(awesome mastering) and speaking of kids they love to try to sing along to the 
original version of Mary Boyoi's "Zooz" on Sud Electronic (comes with remixes 
from Portable and Tama Sumo).

lots more in part 2 later...

catalog of EPs. This third installment expands upon the second, which mined
the group's mid-'90s output, pulling from such releases as The Quest,
Drexciya 4 - The Unknown Aquazone and The Return of Drexciya. As with the
rest of the series, all of the tracks have been remastered, and the
compilation will be made available on CD, LP and as a digital download. For
an idea of what's in store, check out the preview Clone has posted to their
SoundCloud page.

"Clone announced last November that it would be revisiting the Detroit duo's
revered catalog through a series of compilations, the first of which
focussed on their earliest productions and came roughly 20 years after their
debut 12-inch. Journey of the Deep Sea Dweller II picks up where that one
left off, moving through EPs from the mid and late '90s like Return of
Drexciya, Journey Home, The Quest and the highly sought after Uncharted EP.
The collection also includes "The Davey Jones Locker," which originally
appeared on the compilation True People: The Detroit Techno Album. It's due
for release sometime in the middle of May".

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.

[jwan allen]

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!

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.

[Emile Facey]

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 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!

Re: (313) Drexciya re-issue/compilation available now.

[Emile Facey]

As Marsel says, it'll depend on what Alden Tyrell has done in his  
mastering process, and if it's to your taste. Mastering techniques  
have definitely come a long way since some of this stuff was released  
originally but not everyone will agree that they've got better. He's  
normally a really good engineer though and the clips sound great to me.


One thing that might be interesting is that remastering everything in  
one session from the original tapes might give the tracks a more  
consistent sound. I don't know for sure but I'd imagine that because  
a lot of them were released on different labels, most of these 12"s  
were mastered by different engineers at different cutting sessions  
and that as a result all the records sound a bit different, well at  
least to my ears, they do.


07 UNKNOWN JOURNEY is definitely something I've never heard before or  
seen on any original releases.

[Marsel van der Wielen]

well, mastering is meant to have it sound better :-)

but it's always personal judgement if it does of course
and can depend on which system the music is played after (home 
headphones vs 100k stadium)

 A quick question.  Does remastering actually man its going to sound 
better.  What if the technique they use isn't as good as it originally 
was

[Odeluga, Ken]

The fact remains many have never heard / do not own: 

Welcome To Drexciya
Aquarazorda
Take Your Mind
Dehydration
Lardossen Funk
Sea Quake
Darthouven Fish Men

[Including me and I think you all know how obsessed with Drexciya I am.]

This sort of exercise can never go wrong, from a grand pa's point of view.

 I'm sure you'll find many more tracks to your liking.

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)

[Jason Kenjar]

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.

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)

[Lori Polemenakos]

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!

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!

Not because I want to tear into them or nuthin'. [It's your choice and all

I accept that, even though I would probably mostly disagree. The fact

Best of luck, my friend!

Well personally, I salute Frank for (finally!) coming over to the aquatic side. 

Even the act of setting out on such a gargantuan task in itself shows a degree 
of dedication to music which several people whom he respects think is great. 

That in itself is admirable in my view. 

I'm sure you'll find many more tracks to your liking.

I'm not going to give faves myself - there are simply too many; and I say that 
fairly sheepishly, as it's true. 

I'd just remind people of some of the late side projects which were perhaps a 
little overlooked: not so much Other People Place; more like Lab Rat XL, 
Shifted Phases, Transllusion (especially the very odd second LP on Rephlex) and 
the very last LP - 'Hypothetical Situations' by Abstract Thought on Kombination 
Research. 

Aside from that, how wonderful it is to see so many of the familiar 'old' names 
back on the list!

Long may it continue, I hope ;-).

http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2011/09/drexciya-reissues-coming-soon

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)

Depressurization for mine.

But there is a tonne of brilliance there, so picking numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5
is extremely difficult.

Awesome.
 
Picked up one of those colour represses and so happy I did. It is pretty :)

My understanding of it was that the rights for all Drexciya work were
passed to James' widow after the last set of colour vinyl represses on
UR back in the day (which I VERY foolishly passed on at the time -
DOH!)  - wonder why it took so long for it to come together?

LOL - I think that was my first Drexciya record actually - that bit
had an air of humour about it but done totally seriously - great stuff

 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.

It has to be Intro: Temple Of Dos De Aqua. That one has to be the most played 
and you can tell by looking at it!
 
I sure hope the Stinson family gets a nice cut of the repress sales. Those 
things are going to sell like hotcakes.

I have to say that Birth Of A New Life is my favorite one.
It sounds just like it was in some random way but it's incredible peacefull
and enoyable.

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)

[Patrick Wacher]

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...

That record never leaves the bag! While I initially made fun of Frank for
just now getting into his DIP, looks like he picked an oppurtune time since
now he won't have to deal with overinflated ebay/discogs prices for wax. I'm
looking forward to grabbing some doubles of some of the worn materpieces in
my collection too.

Re: (313) the drexciyan immersion project (was Re: (313) Drexciya reissues)

[Jason Kenjar]

anything and everything the released on UR and shockwave / submerge as 
drexciya..

davy jones locker is the most haunting creeping electro track ive ever heard 
and usually i dont drop down to that low bpm territory.

as far as other projects... arpanet, japanese telecom, dopplereffekt, and 
transllusion havent even been mentioned.

so much output by these two its just amazing.

 WaveJumper is probably my favorite as well...  but as far as general

 again.
   But that's easy listening.

journey home EP and black sea specifically were among the tracks i

350+ stinson/donald cuts i've listened to. black sea got five stars.

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

including all their various pseudonyms. The reason I am doing this is
because I find their music to be relatively tricky to wrap my head

to be among the best of their contemporaries. Specifically a lot of
Stinson/Donald tunes sound particularly chaotic even to my modern ears
well trained in noise, avant garde, and the repetitive loops of
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:

http://youtu.be/imKh_TKqHt4

As a side note, the name I've given this experiment - Drexciyan
Immersion Project - is a kind of funny nod to the sci-fi underwater
mythology that Drexciya built around their music/built their music
around.

I hope all the legal issues have been ironed out, and both artists that spent 
years in a basement and elsewhere are properly compensated. 

I miss James terribly and wish that Gerald was still in the hood, but he is 
living a better quality of life. :)

UmmI am really just glad that someone is talking about a DETROIT
artist on the 313 LIST!

 Since August 1st I've been trying to concentrate entirely on devouring
 the oeuvre of Gerald Donald and James Stinson (R.I.P.). We're talking
 about 24 full hours of music over about 45-50 albums, EPs, and singles
 including all their various pseudonyms. The reason I am doing this is
 because I find their music to be relatively tricky to wrap my head
 around in general, while so many of my friends consider Stinson/Donald
 to be among the best of their contemporaries. Specifically a lot of
 Stinson/Donald tunes sound particularly chaotic even to my modern ears
 well trained in noise, avant garde, and the repetitive loops of
 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:

 http://youtu.be/imKh_TKqHt4

 As a side note, the name I've given this experiment - Drexciyan
 Immersion Project - is a kind of funny nod to the sci-fi underwater
 mythology that Drexciya built around their music/built their music
 around.

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.

(313) Drexciya reissues

[Patrick Wacher]

Some interesting news on the wire:

http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2011/09/drexciya-reissues-coming-soon

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)

Re: (313) Drexciya "The Quest" CD

Yeah, similar story here, I picked mine up while in Detroit in one of 
those "oh wow I don't have this one" moments, and it was either in a 
reduced price bin or inexpensive. Years later while entering data in 
Discogs I remember being surprised when I saw what people were selling 
it for.

Re: (313) Drexciya "The Quest" CD

[Odeluga, Ken]

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.

discogs.com you can't find one for less than $200.

Is this a rare release?  I know it's a Submerge no-bar-code joint, but
really? A CD?

(313) Drexciya in the Wire

[Patrick Wacher]

Heya all, not sure if this was already mentioned, but there is a
pretty extended story on Drexciya in Nov 2010 Wire mag. Didn't have
time to read, but wanted to share the love...

BTW, for the LA-ites; Santi is spinning a special Drexciya set this 
Friday at an event called "Underwater Dream":

Call 626-737-6242 on Friday for the 411.

He's billing it as "SPECIAL UNDERWATER DJ SET FEATURING TRACKS FROM 
LARDOSSA!"


("Lardossa" being a place James Stinson described to 313's own Andrew 
Duke in an interview back in 1999.)

Thanks for the heads up on that website, Greg. Odd look to it, but
juicy content nonetheless. Anyone who wants to read the Drexciya interview,
here's the page:
http://www.cognitionaudioworks.com/read.html
I'll post the audio when I find it (my daughter, now 20.5 months old, has
pretty much ransacked my studio so I don't know where anything is anymore).
