Just been listening to Electro-World by Elecktroids, that Kraftwerk piss-take album on Warp. I wasn't around on this list at the time of it's release, and I can't check the archives to find out what was said, but I was just wondering whether there was any discussion at the time about it and who might have been responsible for it. All the signs would point to Drexciya or UR or Aux 88 or those lot with those mysterious faceless techno-bods on the cover, the American voices on the track and the 'thanks to God' on the back cover. Who else would bother to do a whole albums worth of this stuff?! It's bad really, although not half as good as what it's pastiching. Also heard Drexciya 4 - Unknown Aquazone in my local record shop earlier this week. The best thing I've heard in quite a while (3 on Rephlex was good, but not this good), so I'm tempted to go back and get it next week. It's expense on import but sounds like it's worth it. Did any of the tracks on this end up on the 'Quest' compilation? I know the CD had lots of tracks on it, while the vinyl was slimmed down (all the exclusive stuff, maybe?).
