Who else would bother to do a >whole albums worth of this stuff?! It has been said that agents of the Drexciyan order had a hand in the Electroids releases. It is also said that those same agents had a hand in the Doppelereffkts records as well. But is this might be disinformation intended to throw the trail off the true culprits but, then again, it may be true. :) > >Also heard Drexciya 4 - Unknown Aquazone in my local record shop earlier >this week.

Intro, Aqua Jujidsu, Lardossen Funk and Take Your Mind are on The Quest in their original form. Living on the Edge and Aquabahn appear on The Quest in remixed form. Finally, the track Mantaray is not on The Quest. There is a considerable difference between the vinyl and 2xcd versions of The Quest. The 2xcd version has 28 tracks whereas the vinyl version has only nine tracks. But the vinyl version does have a new mix of Depressurization and another track, Reef Rhythms (Bonus Beat), that is not on the 2xcd. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
