For those who aren't able to lay their hands on a copy of the Dec99/Jan00
copy of Jockey Slut (with the Chemical Bros on the front cover) here's the
full transcript:
JS: What words would you use to sum up Neptune's Lair?
D: "Dimensional, progressive, umm, heavy vibes. Imagination and stimulation.
We try to stimulate the mind and the imagination."
JS: What do you want people to get from your album?
D: "The same thing they would get when they open their minds to a new
perspective. Do the things you feel like, be free. It kind of reminds me of
the hippies [laughs] but those were creative days. Those people invented the
computer, which are now running the world."
JS: Explain the aquatic gillmen theory that is frequently referenced in
Drexciya releases?
D: "Water runs free, it runs wild it can give life and it can take life, and
that's what we are about. We flow where we want to go. We like to keep
moving."
JS: A lot of your Detroit contemporaries look to space for inspiration. What
attracted you to
water?
D: "I don't follow others. If I was at the bottom of the ocean, I'd be the
only person there because only I can go that deep. I try to open everybody
else up and say 'go deep, dive inside yourself'. At the moment we're not
using that much of our brains."
JS: How linked are you to UR?
D: "I see myself as a military reserve. If we're needed we'll be there. We
are like Navy Seal. They might have their normal lives doing the groceries
and stuff, but once their pagers go off...they're there."
JS: Would you travel on a plane on millennium Eve?
D: "Technically yes, because I don't think anything's going to happen. I
have faith that tells me that every plane might fall out of the sky but mine
won't."
JS: What are you going to do on New Year's Eve?
D: "I might run down the street butt naked. Go jump in the Detroit river.
Join the parlour beer club. It's a rush!"
JS: And we thought you were all serious Detroit techno freaks?
D: "Yeah, you got to have different perspectives in life. You got to take a
break sometimes. When you come back, that's when you get fully gassed up.
That's what keeps ideas coming."
JS: What next?
D: "After these few interviews you're not going to hear anything from us,
apart from a steady flow of releases. We're going to get back in the studio
and dig deep until the other side of the millennium. What does the future
hold? Who knows? Wherever the water takes us, we're going."
that's it, apologies if there are any typos!
I don't know of a JS web site, if anyone can point me in that direction that
would be great.
Happy new millennium
Graham
