The most obvious unanswered question about the Drexciya storm series is that instead of the oft stated seven Storms there were in fact eight albums released between 2001 and 2002 which could be considered as Storms.
Using information from James Stinson interviews and the few records that stated their number in the series its quite clear that Drexciya’s Grava 4 is the odd one out. At first I thought this had to be part of the series, if not the eye of the storm itself. However, once you know that this is the first post Storm album its very exciting to see where they get to with their concept.
For now though I will simply list the order of storms.
1. Drexciya - Harnessed The Storm
2. Transllusion - The Opening of the Cerebral Gate
3. The Other People Place - Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe
4. Abstract Thoughts - Hypothetical Situations
5. Lab Rat X.L. - Mice or Cyborg
6. Transllusion - L.I.F.E.
7. Shifted Phases - The Cosmic Memoirs of the late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope
