Rock and Soundscapes--A Winning Combination!
author: Nadim S. Haque
Darren recorded a modern "Tubular Bells." The album features great instrumentals ranging from ethereal soundscapes to fast, sometimes even technoish, rock music. The changes of rhythm and mood throughout this collection are sure to keep the listener's attention for hours (I had this on repeat for five hours while walking through Chicago downtown and never got bored or annoyed with it), and the diverse, multi-tracked instrumentation will summon the feeling that this album could hardly have been recorded and produced by one single person. A great album from beginning to end. Well done, Darren! Now, when will we hear more from you?

What r u wating for. Pick this up !!!!
author: Scotty K. Deadbees
Quite pleased to have received a copy of Textures from Darren. After listening and absorbing all 24 procedures, I must say that this is great stuff from Lockville. Just when we think we have heard his best, he gives us more. I will compare it to Kumba, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens in Tampa. At first you are not sure where this journey is taking you, and then up, up and away. Loops, twists, corkscrews, turns. All very smooth and intermingled, but all fitting together like it should. After being brough down (safely I might add), all you can say is WOW, AGAIN, and MORE......A fine addition to the collection.
