The album mostly disdains the froglike neo-retro vocal samples that often shifted emphasis away from the music on the Drexciya EPs, and simply pushes through with a set of midtempo, paranoid electro gems. The production is still reminiscent of the classic electro era, but never feels as tied to the vintage synth as before. Admittedly, there's a bit much to digest on the 20 tracks, but Neptune's Lair is yet another bright spot in the Detroit electro-techno revival.
Neptune's Lair was James Stinson and Gerald Donald's first album as Drexciya, and it went a long way to establishing the veil of intrigue that still hangs over their work to this day. Tresor is also releasing 2000's Hydro Doorways 12-inch, which forms a kind of companion record to Neptune's Lair. Both are set for release on May 26th. The label has a few other Drexciya releases in its vaults, including the 2002 album Harnessed The Storm. Drexciya has been on the receiving end of a Clone retrospective series in recent times, with the Dutch label overseeing the Journey Of The.
Neptune's Lair - Drexciya. Drexciya's first proper album and a milestone for Detroit and electronic music in general. It was first released in 1999 and has since been hailed as one of the enigma's most crucial missives.
