"This music has the power to change lives. Electro and Techno at the purest - far from mass appeal dance music, this work is artistic, expressive, and very personal.The spectrum of expression ranges from kink to aggression, from moody to technical, from ice cold to sun heat. The last track, finally, is one the most hallucinogenic pieces of music ever conceived.This magnificient album proved to be the last chapter in the book of Drexciya, released only a couple of months before one of the group's members died.The theme of this concept album is the trek of the Drexciyans out of the ocean and into deep space. They even own a home star now (somewhere in the sign of the libra). Is this where the soul of J.M.S. is now?We who are left on earth were given several posthumous releases - names to look for on AMAZON are Transllusion, The Other People Place, and Shifted Phases. In the mid-90s there was also Elecktroids (on Warp UK).Previous Drexciya releases available on CD at AMAZON are "The Quest" on Submerge Detroit, and "Neptune's Lair" and "Harnessed The Storm" on Tresor Berlin. Most of their previous vinyl releases, dating back as far as 1992, are also still available from Submerge online mailorder."
