Description
2017, 2×12″ LP, Clone Aqualung Series.
Having previously mined Drexciya’s back catalogue for four superb compilations (the Journey of the Deep Sea Dweller series), Clone has decided to reissue the Detroit electro legends’ final studio album, 2002’s Grava 4. It remains a superb set, moving between deep space explorations (the superbly atmospheric ambience of “Cascading Celestial Giants”), rolling, intergalactic electro (“Drexcyen Star Chamber”), intense dancefloor work outs (“Drexcyen R.E.S.T Principle”), glistening IDM (“Hightech Nomads”), and fusions of Sheffield bleep aesthetics and Cybotron style rhythms (“Gravity Waves”). In other words, you’ll struggle to find a better electro album. If you don’t own an original copy, you should grab this reissue sharpish. – Juno
