about

"NP: Hybrid worldtronica from Daniel S. Crommie and his DC Sound Collective. Brings back the glory days of such fourth-world pioneers as Green Isac, O Yuki Conjugate, Steve Shehan, et al, while throwing disparate elements of Oregon, Deep Forest, and Sheila Chandra into the mix. Elegiac sound poems to soothe many a troubled soul—some kind of wonderful." - Darren Bergsein

"With its combination of psychedelic, jazz, world, electronic, new age and rock, Darjeeling Wireless is quite an eclectic and diverse offering from a band that has given me lots of enjoyment through the years." - Sea of Tranquility

"On Darjeeling Wireless he is joined by regular DC collaborators Eldon Hardenbrook, Bruce Hazen, and Colin Henson, with Dave Thatcher adding bongos on one track. Both are instrumental albums, with the only vocals being on three of the DC tracks, and these are more of the spoken, heavily-treated or whispered variety.
The music can be loosely described as laid-back, ambient, and free-form. Crommie and his collective set out to explore the sound potential of their instruments, favouring the musical painting of colours and textures over melodies.
Darjeeling Wireless features a wider range of instrumental textures, with guitar, flute and electronica taking turns to lead the way in and out of various jazz and avant-garde stylings. I'd recommend the former for those seeking a more tranquil musical experience, and the latter for those in need of a more experimental adventure."
- DPRP, Andy Read
