Originally released in 2002, “Harnessed the Storm” was conceived as the opening chapter of the legendary Seven Storms – a series of seven albums created within a single year and released via several labels under different names. “Harnessed the Storm” was the sole one in the series credited under the main Drexciya project.
Tresor Records is proud to announce forthcoming special editions of its entire catalogue of Drexciya and related projects. 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of James Stinson and the releases of the Transllusion and Shifted Phases albums.
In recognition, the rightsholders, their families, and the label have commissioned Detroit-based contemporary artist Matthew Angelo Harrison to re-conceptualize the covers of Tresor's Drexciya-related catalogue. These editions will be released sequentially, bimonthly, starting early-September 2022.
The series saw the release of Neptune’s Lair in September 2022, first out in 1999, with the Hydro Doorways single arriving shortly after. In November 2022, Harnessed The Storm and Digital Tsunami are coming. In February 2023 the Transllusion records, both The Opening Of The Cerebral Gate and complement single Mind Over Positive And Negative Dimensional Matter, will be released. The series is completed by the long-awaited re-release of Shifted Phases – The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope – at the end of March 2023.
These records, individually and as a catalogue, represent some of the most crucial moments in the Tresor label history, with the sound and mythic world of Drexciya undoubtedly inspiring generations.
