hello,
i've only listened to each of them a few times now, but i really enjoy the
new drexciya. i got a late start on the whole UR/detroit thing, so my
familiarity with drexciya's previous work is limited to "the quest" and
"neptune's lair," but i enjoy the new one ("harnessed the storm") more than
either of those. it has a few really nice more dancefloor-oriented cuts like
"digital tsunami" (the first 12" from the album) that are, in my opinion
anyway, worth the price of admission alone. there are many of the expected
strange sounds and some surprises here and there too. once again there is a
sort of theme running thru these tracks, many references to water and the
life cycle. it's certainly nothing new but entirely worthwhile.
the fourtet seems more informed by his experiences with fridge and has some
more organic qualities here and there. it sounds a lot more focused and
developed than "dialogue." "dialogue" is a good album as well although i've
only heard it a couple of times, and not very recently, but i'd have to
vouch for the new one over that one.
hope this helps a little?
bye
