Nice pressing, sonically, and a nice heavy piece of vinyl.

I am very surprised about this release, it is probably the only Drexciya album available on cassette.

YESSSS!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! The latest repress appears to have been remastered and the sound is now as crisp as on CD!!! A HUGE thank you to Tresor here. This decision is of historical significance. Now I can´t wait for the Hydro doorways 12" to receive the same treatment. So happy.

My copy has two warped disks and problems with backgroundnoise caused by damaged lacquer ( visual white .speckles) Absolutly not convinced by this pressing (MPO). Shame. Anyone else problems because i want to know if it is efficient to buy another copy.

Bought a copy yesterday and while not completely flat it's not far off. No background noise that I've noticed. Very happy with my purchase so I would say return and purchase again :)

This is not a bootleg. This is an original cassette released in Poland in the 2000 year.
Outside Media specialized in mail order sales. Outside Media's cassettes were also available only in "good" music stores in Poland (90's). Why cassettes? Because in Poland in the 90's was a low standard of living (high unemployment, ubiquitous poverty and lack of money - post-communist country). People could not afford to buy CDs. In the 90s (in Poland) cassette tapes were 5x cheaper than CDs.

Very small amount of released pieces. All the cassettes issued by Outside Media had a small amount of pieces

The last great Drexciya LP. Mixing longer-form pieces with shorter interludes and electro bombs. Standouts include the vibrant, instantly memorable synth riff of Andrean Sand Dunes, the incessant punch of Funk Release Valve, and the organic pulsations of Oxyplasmic Gyration Beam. But really the whole album is worthwhile. It's a real shame that the following two Tresor Drexciya releases leant heavily on long long LONG tracks that really don't develop enough to justify their length. Sometimes tracks only need to be 2-3 minutes and Neptune's Lair - probably the best Drexciya album - proves that. A thoroughly essential melodic electro techno classic.
