Drexciya – Hydro Doorways

as with neptunes lair, this pressing sounds amazing as well. super cean. just happy to have some drexciya in my collection.

How is the Sound quality in this latest 2022 repress?

Species Of The Pod is super cool with its twisted acid line and Drexciyan sub-nautical flourishes. It's short and sweet and you have to mix fast as it slows in tempo towards the end, or indeed use that to creative effect ;-)

An wonderful EP of pure Drexciya - an artist who often had tracks that were too short for some DJs but of course you could always buy doubles and mix your own extended version. Or make your own bootleg version. Otherwise - in and out and leave 'em wanting more. Detroit wasn't about long tunes - DJs played cuts for only a few mins max in many cases - so just pretend you're in the heat of the moment and just be happy you own a copy. If not - buy on sight. This is electronic music - and what a record should be - well rounded and interesting and timeless and great.

Timeless demigod electro reissued once again.

Why the low ratings? Does this release have sound issues or the couple of you just ignit?

This is a hugely underrated gem. EVERY track is a blinder ! Even the crazy Analogue experiment- that conjures a world of under water sci-fi life - is perfect. The other 5 cuts are amazing and beautiful examples of people making music of sheer honest blissful joy ! A masterpiece in the drexciyan cannon. 🦑

Species of the pod is too short.. a 8, 10 minute edit would be great.
Fantastic release

Very sad that the Track Lost Vessel on Vinyl only on the Hydro Doorways is available. :-(

Our superheroes from the depths of the Great Sea Gerald Donald & James Stinson have brought a huge treasure with this intense, full of lovely texture chords and powerfull bass electro: “Polynomo Plexüsgel”. An incredible harmonic note sequence at the drop out represents just the point of the iceberg on this marvelous journey into the outworld. Amazing as it may seem, the tune englobes also the funky components with the breakbeats and the basslines. This surreal combination could only be considered one of the best electro track ever, and the finest track on this release. With a rough four by four beats, “Lost Vessel” has sweet lines of keyboards notes and textures, and also some strange basslines and timbres, but a more experimental and hypnotic approach can be felt on the “Species of the Pod”, an electro trippy masterpiece played only by the most courageous. On the same way of experimentalism goes “Drifting Into A Time Of No Future”, a scary ambient madness for the unadvised. And who told the classical music influences cannot be felt? That’s the case of the violins simulation strings that gives the environment to “Quantum Hydrodynamics”: it’s the past melted on the future all over the place.
