Yep, Drexciya is definitely doing the Other People Place alias and if you
have not yet picked it up, please do so. It is hints of Detroit electro
elements and deep, otherworldy funk at its finest...some crazy vocal samples
that are a perfect, humorous contrast to the somewhat dark nature of the
tracks. I am curious to hear others' opinions, as the LP is pretty
straightforward with no real bells and whistles, but it still grabs me by
the balls...beautiful in a strange sort of way...
