Which album would you recommend for a first time listener of Drexciya? Feel free to simply state an album title, or explain in detail why you chose it. Long response or short, I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks. :) |

|
|
the quest = essential drexciyan listening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
So, we've got two votes for 'The Quest' and two votes for "The Journey Home." Things are really heating up! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, fuck me. you can buy anything that has the name drexciya on it! ergo, go to discogs. type in drexciya. go to the artists page. make a print. take the print with you to your local idm-store. put on your accountant thinking-cap and check each record on the list. return when done. and post the results with some spreadsheets and graphs and stuff. pivot-tables are cool too. but if you go for efficiency, just check the quest. |

|
|
the link did work perfectly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SPD must have felt the need to add an extra h to the http bit. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yes, you're right... hmmmm, strange behaviour for a moderator.... |

| |||||||||
|
|
The link didn't work and SPD didn't add a 'h' to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly bud, wouldn't waste my time...even if you did call me a cunt (for a real good reason too), and no the link did not work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Strange, it worked on my preview and it worked before I called STD a cunt. How bizarre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm only joking dude, each to there own and all that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so zephyr did you check any out. if so, what did you think? anything instantly jump out as badass stuff yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've had the quest since last night but I don't believe in giving music a cursory first listen, and as I was about to go to bed, I decided to wait until today to listen to it. I'm going to begin listening right now, in fact. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it went. Just wanted to say thanks everyone for contributing and showing interest. Oh, and feel free to recommend related projects as well. :) |

Well, I didn't know that drexciya was more acid than experimental electronic, but it's really good so far. Acid isn't my favorite type of electronic music, but I've been digging this. My favorite track thus far is Antivapor Waves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acid? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it not acid? I dunno, a lot of the tracks remind me of Analord. I admit my knowledge of the genre of acid is not extensive, to say the least. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah yeah RDJ is a major fan of Drexciya, some Analord tracks like Backdoor.Spyboter.A sound like an homage to Drexciya. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, it's all becoming clear. What genre(s) is Drexciya generally considered to be a part of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Electro-techno or just Detroit techno to some but to be fair they covered a lot of genres plus both Donald and Stinson had a very particular style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have read and will envoke this thread as well |
||||||||
|

just wait 'till you have internalized those awkward drexciyan melodies: they're like a drug. you'll recognize those sounds from a million miles away. it's the perfect blend between techno, electro and acid. kinda like kraftwerk growing some huge funk-brown balls, and grooving the brains out yer head with sweaty aggro beats. |

just finished CD1 a few minutes ago, about to embark on CD2 of the quest. CD1 is a 4.5/5 for me, but I think it may grow on me with time to become a 5/5. I really can't think of a single negative aspect of CD1 other than simply what some might refer to as the "limitation" of the genre being so repetitive in nature. It's not that repetition is inherently bad, I've just grown quite comfortable with "IDM" tracks slathered with bridges, time changes, evolutions etc. throughout. Still, I think goDel is correct in that I'm going to get addicted to these guys. Will check out The Journey Home and Neptune's Lair next. thanks for contributing, guys. |

good, another convert. this is what the world needs: more people searching for an original copy of the quest. how much do they go for on ebay nowadays? -> 20 pounds with 4 days to go. i'd be surprised if it goes for less than 40. which is still not enough, btw. |
||||||||
|

Check out the Shifted Phases LP, absolutely sick. |

that's just the idea behind limited releases, isn't it? people pay shitloads, but the artists gain absolutely nothing. |
