It might just be a coincidence with my last post but it has been announced that both Drexciya's landmark
Neptune's Lair album and its companion 12"
Hydro Doorways are to be reissued by Tresor on 26th May 2014. This is officially the second time the album has been reissued (on vinyl only) since 2010. It originally came out on double LP and CD in 1999 and this time will again be made available on both formats. To my knowledge this is the first repress of
Hydro Doorways. There are 21 tracks on the CD and the ones that didn't fit on
Neptune's Lair went onto this EP. Many online retailers, such as
Boomkat, are doing pre-orders now.
Hopefully this is a sign Tresor will get round to doing Drexciya's
Harnessed The Storm, Transllusion and Shifted Phases releases soon.
I also came across this great Drexciya tribute from 2012 on
Beatport with interviews and favourite Drexciya tracks by Mike Huckaby, Mark Pritchard, Marcel Dettman, Peter Van Hoesen, Catz'n Dogz, Sam Valenti and Sandwell District's Function.

ReplyDeleteI wish Tresor would reissue this as a 3xLP set with all tracks. "Jazzy Fluids" can only be found on the CD version of Neptune's Lair.
