While browsing through the ol' used bin at a record store today this CD popped out at me, because the edge looked much like autechre's Tri Repetae; that is, that same metallic green color. Anyway, it was called Under The Flightpath by Darren Price, and it was pretty okay, once I gave it a listen at the store's cd player. It's really listenable fast beats and deep sounding basses and stuff. ehh.. Hard to describe after only one listen. But anyways, what does anyone know about this guy? Is he cool? Uncool? What's the scoop? ;) I did do a web search before I posted this, but I now realize that I did the search for Darren Prince instead of Price. oops. Oh well, I'd rather hear it from y'all anyway. noah np: pwei cure for sanity

I've only heard one track (off of a sampler CD that came with a French Techno magazine) but it was excellent sweeping majestic Trance. I loved it. Wish I could find "Under The Flightpath" used. - Greg (Who apologizes for not discussing Mego or A-Musik or ... shoot me)

This is not enormously helpful ><><><>< but with their Oct/Nov issue of '97 JockeySlut gave away a free Novamute CD mixed by Darren Price, including a couple of tracks by himself too. Problem : the whole darn thing is ONE TRACK running time approx 65 mins of bumping cracking moving music (nothing 'ambient' about this lot!) - and although 18 separate tracks are credited (including NoMu artits ranging from Plastikman, Luke Slater, Speedy J, Joey Beltram, Mark Bell et al) unless you know the tracks and thus can tell them apart, it's pretty impossible to say what's what. About 30 mins. in, there's a _really_ pretty piece ....... :-) I'd say this is worth a back-order from your local news agent if you can arrange it. Darren Price has released : EP : "The Attic" (NOMU16) 16/10/95 Single : Lose No Time (NOMU33) 12/6/97 CD : Under The Flightpath (NOMU48) dated 16/6/97 Happy New Year to all from sweltering hot Cape Town.

I'm not qualified to say if he's cool or not but i do like the few releases i have from Darren Price. His most recent cd has a nice mix of styles but my favorites are his releases on the Intelligence label - nice "intelligent" techno. A partial Darren Price discog... .
