Wicked release in the early days of Rephlex, it is a testament to Rephlexs' relentless search for the most brilliant future music. It is a little harder sounding than bubble metropolis but equally funky and impossible to ignore.

Drexiya are a Detroit staple and I remember people at Record Time in Michigan getting upset that this release and a few that followed came out on UK labels.

Track this down if you can find it in a used shop. Remember Underground Resistance's message - Music for those who know - Punishment for those who don't.

This is a little like 'Weirs' minus the disco beats of course. Imagine a Rephlex version of SAW II but rawer and kind of demented at times. I've been waiting for this release for a while. It may not be for everyone, but die hard fans of the edgier more experimental component of Rephlex will dig this. It sounds very cool as a background to Amen Andrews, in which case I guess it'd be Weirs pt. 2?

I bought Weirs the week it came out. It was a great record then and it still maintains its freshness now. I think most of the strangness and creepy bits were the work of Jeremy Simmonds though, rather than Luke Vibert.

As is the case with most other debuts on Rephlex (Muziq's Tango 'n Vectif for example), Weirs is probably the best release from Luke Vibert. Coincidentally Weirs was released the same week Drexiya 3, I played the record in its entirety in a chillout room at a rave in Toronto.

Don't believe the hype, Squarepusher was signed to Rephlex because Conumber was such a big hit in the UK. Every week for about a year Squarepusher was mentioned in NME, it was months after all the press and interviews that Rephlex finally signed him.

Nevertheless, Squarepusher Plays was a classic release. For those of you who don't know the release - Theme from Goodbye Renaldo is the standout. It shows off Jenkinson's subtle introverted side, before it explodes into a huge sonic epic. The last few minutes are the best part.
