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.
