maybe we could ask a synesthesian about that. i mainly visualize music in fabrics and surfaces so that wont be helpful. btw when is the first synesthesizer coming out? |

An article on Drexciya determined to find something racist about the reissues on, of all labels, Clone, seems to think everyone else is as ignorant of Detroit and the originators. |

don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, but don't forget about the good story when you start lying |

in this scenario were you Drexciya or was the indie girl Drexciya or did you take turns |

Does anyone say that though? I think the main issue in the comments is that somehow Clone, who released Drexcyia related projects in the first place, are somehow whitewashing Drexciya. As if there's some untapped white market out there for Drexciya without the black bit. Which I find a stretch. |

The way the article goes off, youd think they'd repackaged Public Enemy as a fucking instrumental band. |

Personally, i don't have any issues with the nationality of the writer, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the article per se. But I do think it's perhaps a bit parochial, in a similar way to how many video game articles tend to focus on what was happening in the USA (and to a lesser degree, Japan, given how much Nintendo dominated the US video game market in the 80s), because the author's generally aren't aware of what happened outside that market. So we get things like 1986's Metroid being claimed as featuring the first female protagonist, whereas Ant Attack in the UK offered the option of switching between a boy and a girl back in 1983. Or we get things like Namco patenting their "load a game" mechanism on the PSX in 1995, despite the fact that there was significant prior art on the C64 and ZX Spectrum seven or eight years earlier. |

maybe the recent attention on racism is a good time to showcase the backstory. and the comic finally came out too. guess thats good things in any way. im rather obsessed with underwater themes in any artform. for me thats one of the most vivid things about imagining drexciya´s music. the sea is just amazing and i often think if id ever move it would have to be about living by the ocean. i have a strong urge to be close to it and i believe humans are meant to live oceanside. |

my fav: "Isn’t the Clone (or any other) label allowed to chose their own artwork? In my humble opinion the minimalistic style (read: no nonsense) of the Clone-Drexciya releases is a quality piece of vinyl and including their own unique take on what they (Clone) believe suits the music first. Artwork with the blue ‘diver’ is just perfect; minimalistic, to the point and above all ‘faceless’ (just like the artists & music). Speaking of ‘Faceless Techno’, do you know this ‘expression’? I didn’t read anything about this in your article..which is about Techno & Drexciya, right?" |

I cant believe Warp packaged The Other People Place album (one of the best albums ever made) with a picture of a laptop in a forest, rather than say, a 3D virtual-reality style black power fist. |
