| Harnessed the Storm is the second full-length on Tresor from the anonymous Detroit electro duo named Drexciya. It was released in January 2002, on vinyl and CD, as Tresor 181. Overall, it's much "trackier" (more repetitive and meant for use by a DJ, not for listening by itself) than much of their previous work, and a little disappointing.

Tracklisting
- Undersea Disturbances - Starts with a slow four on the floor kick drum and picks up some pretty synth melodies along the way.
- Digital Tsunami - This track seems to be a continuation of track 1 at first. A complicated synth lead comes in accompanied by alien noises. This was also released as Tresor 182.
- Soul of the Sea - a bunch oozy sounds with the melody played with a brass patch that sounds like it came straight out of a NES game.
- Song of the Green Whale - whale song samples, with some vibraphone-ish noises in parallel harmonies, squelches, and a straight-ahead electro beat
- Dr. Blowfins' black storm stabilizing spheres - a continuation of track 3
- The Plankton Organization - this is where the album starts getting really good. This particular track is still a little repetitive; however.
- Mission to Ociya Syndor and back - this is an EXCELLENT piece. It seems to be paced to match a scene from an action film, almost reminiscent of Underworld's Moaner
- Aquatic Cataclysm
- Lake haze
- Birth of new life
