Picked up the Drexciya double CD on the strength of the EP on Warp. What a big mistake (listen before you buy! listen before you buy!). This is a simplistic, self-indulgent journey through the clichés of techno. Reminds me of some of the old acid house comps I bought (ie: Jack the Tab on Wax Trax) that were chock full of 3 minute forays into mediocrity. This is musical shovelware. The good stuff (and there is some) on this double CD could've fit on an EP. I guess they wanted to go out with a bang, anticipating their breakup..
