Berk Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not sure if this is jazz, but this is just wonderful news! Saw this on Clone Facebook page: An early heads up on one of the forthcoming Clone Classic Cuts we are working on (for those receiving our news letter already heard about it... but). We will re-issue the early Drexciya catalogue on Clone. We are currently busy restoring the original master tapes, and hopefully we have the first one ready before the end of the year! Of course we will keep you updated on the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've heard about Drexciya for years, but have never looked into it. What's a good starting point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've heard about Drexciya for years, but have never looked into it. What's a good starting point? I personally think Neptune's Lair is the best starting point, in my opinion it sounds the most accessible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btOstAZFJTI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO2C1XNAeaU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Strike Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Great news! But also annoying news, I've got almost all of the early 12"s that I painstakingly collected over the years dangnammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blakeboogie Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This is indeed great news. I've got everything after and including Neptune's Lair so it would be great to get hold of some of the tracks on 'The Quest' for under £40 a pop. I mean even the CD version of 'The Quest' is about £70 last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stoppit Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think my copy of the Quest cost about £55....well, it should have been about £40, but i got hit with some stupid import tax because the American seller ticked the wrong box on the package. Pffffttttttt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pffffttttttt I'd be happy to pay £40 it's ridiculously good. Why they have never reissued the CD I will never know, I can understand that pressing Vinyl is more hassle but a new print of the CD shouldn't be too hard to organise.

Guest blakeboogie Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 DREXCIYA - JOURNEY OF THE DEEP SEA DWELLER I http://clone.nl/item21960.html Some great stuff on there that I've never been able to get on vinyl for a reasonable price. Looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magdog Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 oh wow they needed to do this. i already have it all other than the uncharted S.I.D. 12", but it's great more people can get them. would love the CD-only unreleased tracks on the quest to get pressed up onto a 2x12" or something... or the clarence g record! I only need Uncharted S.I.D. 12" too and would love to have the CD only tracks on Quest to have a vinyl release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neurp Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Huge Drexciya fan here too, I also only need Uncharted S.I.D. 12" I'm sure i will get these versions to hear how the remasters sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 But why did they mess up the running order of the tracks? WHYYYY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magdog Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 from the clone website.. "Since the original releases have such a strong character, appeal and stand on their own, this re-issue can never re-create the magic of those originals. So instead we stirred up the catalogue taking the tracks out of their original context, giving the 'in the know' listener a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of Drexciya." Glad they did it.. i would say that though wouldn't i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 But why did they mess up the running order of the tracks? WHYYYY? Yeah I would have liked the original order to be kept in place too, ah well. It's brilliant that they do a reissue, so can't complain really. I've heard about Drexciya for years, but have never looked into it. What's a good starting point? any/all of it! imo. edit: i wonder if a load of old Drex got destroyed in that fire... anyway this is good!! Has there been a fire at Clone, or do you mean the fire that was started during those riots in England or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamagotchi San Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 from the clone website.. Glad they did it.. i would say that though wouldn't i. Thats one the more interesting things about the release for me, I am actually hoping theyve done an interesting remaster... Ive got plenty of clone records that sound fantastic mix wise etc, so I'm hoping some of that rubs off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
