Two decades ago, Drexciya's Gerald Donald released his sole album as Japanese Telecom, Virtual Geisha, on the electroclash-flavoured International Deejay Gigolos label. Like much of Donald's work, which of course is inherently futuristic and otherworldly in tone, the set has aged well. It's full of punchy electro beats, bold Kraftwerkian melodies, fuzzy bass and starry electronics, offering a more stripped-back and occasionally funky take on the more layered and thematically complex Drexciya sound. Our picks of a very strong bunch include 'Mounting Yoko', the bubbly and picturesque Far East electro of 'Virtual Geisha She Interacts' and the cheery, lo-fi gorgeousness of 'Pagoda of Sin'.
