journey of the deep sea dweller III / 2x12" / C-CC24LP

The sheer depth of Drexciya's influence makes it surprising that it took this long (founder James Stinson died just over 10 years ago) for the Detroit pair's material, much of which was only previously available on limited-run, poorly pressed vinyl and crackling MP3 rips, to be re-mastered and reissued. The challenge has finally been taken up with gusto by Clone Records' Classic Cuts offshoot, with this the 3rd instalment of an exhaustive 4-part retrospective charting the shadowy duo's passage into electronic folklore. With all tracks re-mastered by Alden Tyrell from the original tapes, Clone have chosen to avoid straight-up record-by-record reissues, instead drawing highlights from across their catalogue and recasting them into a series of compilations, each of which (loosely speaking) sticks to one era of Drexciya's decade-long career. 'Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller III' expands on the series' 2nd instalment by concentrating mainly on Stinson and partner Gerald Donald's prolific, mid-90's output on Underground Resistance & Submerge.
