Speaking of Darren Price's "Under The Flightpath" ... there is a French
Techno magazine called "Trax" that I've found in a couple of different
places here in L.A. now. The 2nd issue (with a blurry pic of Beth from
Portishead adorning the cover) dated September/October '97 has a free
sampler CD accompaning it; the tracks are
1. Portishead - "Seven Months" (from "Portishead")
2. Ballistic Brothers - "Blacker" (from "Rude System")
3. Bentley Rhythm Ace - "Return of the Hardcore Jumble Carbootechnodisco
Roadshow" (from "BRA")
4. Death In Vegas - "Rocco (Dave Clarke remix)" (from "Dead Elvis")
5. Darren Price - "Blueprints" (from "Under The Flightpath")
6. Howie B. - "Angels go bald, too" (from "Turn The Dark Off")
7. Charles Schillings - "Hawaii Police d'Etat" (from "Serialement votre" comp)
8. Subject 13 - "Just 4 You (Gilb'R mix)" (from "The Black Steele Project")
9. Blaze - "Sacred Sex" (from "Basic Blaze")
10. Photek - "Modus Operandi" (from "Modus Operandi")
The Darren Price track is really excellent - pure driving Techno somewhat in
the Luke Slater/Planetary Assault Systems vein. I'll definitely be picking up
"Under The Flightpath" if I stumble across it ...
Oh yeah ... unfortunately, the magazine is all in French :-(
It was US $9.95 at the newsstand where I found it. Not bad for a CD and at
least I can look at the pictures :-)
