Hydro Theory sounded like nothing else being released at the time, killer track and legendary EP.referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
If anyone has a spare cover sleeve, i would be interested.referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
Design-wise, there's a close connection between this release, Elecktroids - Kilohertz and Ultradyne - E Coli. No coincidence, of course...referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
Possibly my favourite of all the Drexciya records, and the easiest to get. Moody and smooth, Journey Home is a great piece of middle mood bouncey electronica, while Black Sea is very classic Drexciyan intensity. Across 4 tracks it really sums the variety of Drexciyan expression and is a great intro to the band.referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
Ron Hardy?
I'm sure..but call a pedant.

Re below.
303's? Where?
Some people ought to refrain from touching things that look like they say qwerty.
Anyways, when I get on desert island on r4 black sea is in there.referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
You can buy the 4 volume Clone reissues that feature the 4 tracks from this ep for about £15 a pop, or you could just spend that £60 on this. Or be greedy and get'em all.- Edited 11 years ago

A lot of people talk about how the electronic rawness was born in Chicago. due to limited funds by artists like Phuture and Ron Hardy who had to use scrappy mixers and cheap karaoke machine called TB-303, but a lot of people do not discuss about how Drexciya took that rawness into a different completely imaginative direction.
The Drex crew hit the jackpot with this EP, it fits like fingers to glove to the "freakiness" and the "weirdness" Warp records presented in those current times. "Darthouven Fish Men" is a dirty melody which sounds like a computer malfunction repeatedly hitting an error, it is jumpy and crunchy with scattered envelops all around.
"Black Sea" is a deep journey into Detroit's famous Packard Automotive Plant rave scene which was flourishing in the 90's, it is trance before trance was gentrified. the thing so unique about Drexicya is that they used distortion but it never sounded bad quality distortion, it was a matter of science for James & Gerald - how can we make heavily distorted and compressed sounds without making them sound bad?
"Hydro Theory" is the treasure here, that breathing heavily sound in the background is probably timed frame to the recognizable Drexciya, anybody who bootlegs that aquarium deep sea sound will get his ass whooped instantly thinking he is playing a Drex track.
"Journey Home" offers a more instrumental side to things with a light funky attitude. its an alien keyboard with a humorist twist, known legacy of this moniker. referencing The Journey Home (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) WAP 57
