Narrative:
At takeoff clearance both copilot and I heard 'fly runway heading, comply with noise abatement, cleared for takeoff runway 8.' we climbed out to 9000 ft MSL and waited for 13.5 DME, as the noise abatement procedure required, expecting a turn instruction. We were told to contact departure. We attempted contact on 127.4, but no reply. By this time we were heading at mountainous terrain above our altitude. We switched back to tower, and he again said contact departure 127.4. When we re-attempted contact, the controller asked us if we had started to turn to 310 degrees. We replied that we hadn't received one, but we would turn. We also started to climb to avoid the mountain, maintaining VFR. Departure control then cleared us to climb to 13000 ft. Factors contributing to this incident were minimum ground time due to a late inbound segment. No departure heading on the SID (albuquerque 1 departure) possibly missed the assigned heading (both crew members) an no readback confirmation on heading. Trouble in contacting approach control, although we had the right frequency, and radios operated on all frequencys apparently. Rapidly rising terrain to the north and east, causing us to initiate lost communications procedures as published.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG FAILED TO FOLLOW THE SID INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOST COM WITHIN 1 MIN AFTER DEPT.
Narrative: AT TKOF CLRNC BOTH COPLT AND I HEARD 'FLY RWY HDG, COMPLY WITH NOISE ABATEMENT, CLRED FOR TKOF RWY 8.' WE CLBED OUT TO 9000 FT MSL AND WAITED FOR 13.5 DME, AS THE NOISE ABATEMENT PROC REQUIRED, EXPECTING A TURN INSTRUCTION. WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT DEP. WE ATTEMPTED CONTACT ON 127.4, BUT NO REPLY. BY THIS TIME WE WERE HEADING AT MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN ABOVE OUR ALT. WE SWITCHED BACK TO TWR, AND HE AGAIN SAID CONTACT DEP 127.4. WHEN WE RE-ATTEMPTED CONTACT, THE CTLR ASKED US IF WE HAD STARTED TO TURN TO 310 DEGS. WE REPLIED THAT WE HADN'T RECEIVED ONE, BUT WE WOULD TURN. WE ALSO STARTED TO CLB TO AVOID THE MOUNTAIN, MAINTAINING VFR. DEP CTL THEN CLRED US TO CLB TO 13000 FT. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS INCIDENT WERE MINIMUM GND TIME DUE TO A LATE INBOUND SEGMENT. NO DEP HDG ON THE SID (ALBUQUERQUE 1 DEP) POSSIBLY MISSED THE ASSIGNED HDG (BOTH CREW MEMBERS) AN NO READBACK CONFIRMATION ON HDG. TROUBLE IN CONTACTING APCH CTL, ALTHOUGH WE HAD THE RIGHT FREQ, AND RADIOS OPERATED ON ALL FREQS APPARENTLY. RAPIDLY RISING TERRAIN TO THE N AND E, CAUSING US TO INITIATE LOST COMS PROCS AS PUBLISHED.
