Sensational Code Indigo performance from the 1998 Derby Cathedral concert, showcasing a band on the very top of their form. Great interplay between synths and guitar, oodles of atmosphere and feeling, this really is a classic! Includes reworking of classic tracks plus materiel unavailable anywhere else. Most importantly though, the Code Indigo style is very difficult to categorize. Instrumental Pink Floyd? Enigma?? Steve Roach??? In the Nursery???? They combine elements of all of these and yet, basically, they sound like, well.... Code Indigo. And that  is the mark of something a bit special.

The 4th studio album is a topical musical statement of immense creativity, power and beauty that cleverly merges electronic, ambient and classic rock music like only Code Indigo can.
With no vocals this time out, Andy Lobbans superb guitar takes centre stage and the album has a definite FWTB 'concept' feel to it, mixing samples, dark atmospherics plenty of light and shade and more than a few creative surprises.
Dave Massey adds majestic rhythms while Wright & Fox's musical input has never been more striking.
A truly sensational release!

The highly acclaimed first album from the classic electronic rock band 'Code Indigo' founded by David Wright and Robert Fox, considered a classic by music critics worldwide.
The 72 minutes of music of this compact disc by Code Indigo are an imaginative cosmic voyage. The 18 pieces (without titles) the album is composed of do not follow the usual outline of most Cosmic Music, but advance in different directions, offering the listener new sonic experiences.
The compositions are not abstract, but they have majestic melodies instead, sometimes somewhat sentimental in nature. There are slow themes and other lively ones.
Among the latter, the second one, whose sequencer-based rhythm turns out to be impressive indeed, perfectly suiting the melody which has a great strength while accompanying it, is most noteworthy in fact.

This stunning double album is already being hailed as the best Code Indigo work too date. Compiled from the groups live appearances in the UK and Europe between 2004 and 2006, culminating in the e-live festival in Holland and the UK Fisher Theatre appearance, "In Concert" is the definitive record of a band in perfect harmony, performing at the peak of their combined creative and musical talents.
“In Concert” has been lovingly compiled from digital 24 track recordings of each event and features reworked classics from the best selling album “For Whom the Bell”, plus exquisite live versions of music from “Uforia”, “Timecode” and “Chill”. There is also new live material, including the stunning epic “Area 52” and an improvised 12 minute gem “Entangled in C”, performed by David Wright and Robert Fox.
Andy Lobban's guitar has never been better, from the delicate beauty of Autumn Fades to the searing leads on Eden to Chaos. Nigel Turner-Heffer's base guitar underpins Dave Massey's computer generated rhythms to great effect, and Nigel's occasional lead guitar duets with Andy gives the live versions yet another dimension. Robert Fox's chords and piano and David Wright's atmospherics and leads are in perfect unison, and so with Louise Eggerton appearing as a guest on a couple of tracks, the two and a half hours flows smoothly and effortlessly between foot tapping power and gentle beauty and back again.
“Code Indigo In Concert” perfectly captures the live energy, excitement and warmth of one of the UKs premier electronic rock bands, making it a “must have” for any Code Indigo fan, or indeed, any lover of original instrumental rock music with melody, soul and purpose.

‘MELTdown’ is an epic, concept style musical journey. There are 16 beautifully conceived and highly evocative interlinked tracks that cleverly pay homage to all previous Code Indigo albums while remaining inventive and original. It is moody and topical electronica featuring some of the most atmospheric and thought provoking chill out style electronica you’re likely to hear anywhere.

“Take the Money & Run” is a splendid album which ends one of the very beautiful histories of the contemporary England EM scene. Code Indigo was a big group which broke ranks in this universe where the complicity lived often solo, from where the very mesmerizing musicality of the English band. The presentation of the album, the artwork is as much well presented as its music, with a very beautiful booklet which includes nice photos of the members and which also explains the origins of the 11tracks offered in it. Except that there is a last chapter to this end. Indeed, the band offers a DVD of the MELTdown concert played at the E-Day Festival in 2013. An inescapable and a very beautiful production. Yep....Sadly, Code indigo dies just here, between our ears. But will always remain there for years to come.

A time honoured way of greeting new beginnings...and so it is here. The founder members of Fox and Wright are still alive and kicking, together with guitarist Andy Lobban. But the band itself takes on an altogether new dimension with the input of new members Louise Eggerton and Dave Massey.
With the first album "For Whom the Bell" breaking new ground and the next album "Uforia" almost breaking up the band (!) it was time to move on and move forward. "Timecode" has been almost a year in the making, with its beginnings going back to July 2002, - a two week period in David Wright's studio with both Fox and Wright laying down the foundation work for the album. A brand new Korg Karma each, and a burning desire to "get on and do something" led to a basic framework which both seemed pretty pleased with, and both agreed needed something more, something special being done with it and done to it. And so it was... Dave Massey who did to it, and Louise who did with it (or possibly the other way around!) And thus the new Code Indigo line up was created.
An intense 9 month period between September 2002 and May 2003 followed, during which time the original musical framework gradually evolved into the epic musical voyage that is "TimeCode".
All the 'Code Indigo' elements are here, but there is also a new dimension, a recognisable Code Indigo sonic signature (the Fox/ Wright input again clearly in balance) being added to by Dave Massey's fresh rhythmic arrangements and Louise Eggerton's stunning vocals, with Andy's timeless guitar work still very much part of the overall sound.
It is this freshness that comes through whilst retaining that which is clearly identifiable as Code Indigo. And whilst the music has been in harmony so too has the band, with a mutual acceptance of each others ideas and input.
There is quiet excitement surrounding this album, and the well balanced creative input clearly illustrates that if any one of these elements were removed, then the band and the music would be the poorer for it.

Long live a new beginning.

The 2nd studio album. Classic ambient rock with a more rhythmic edge, and much more guitar! Full of wonderful melodic textures, this will appeal to Electronic music, Ambient and rock fans alike. Sometimes it sounds like Pink Floyd, but with the Code Indigo touch.

The original studio recordings for "Timecode" includes previously unreleased music and is a fascinating insight into the writing process, showing how the original compositions differ from the eventual Code Indigo album. There is a real spontaniety and live feel that makes it all wonderfully compelling. The 14 "BT" tracks and "Timecode Exodus" are interlinked to produce one drifting electronic space music epic. Here are the original, sometime quite inspired instrumental music performances of tracks like "24am" and "Call of the Earth", plus additional pieces and alternate versions and arrangements. This collection shows just how prolific Wright & Fox were during this period and is a worthy companion to the "TimeCode" album itself.

‘E-Scape 2018’ is a collection of exclusive studio and unreleased tracks from artists performing at the 2018 UK E-Scape Festival. The music is a varied collection of traditional electronic music of the spacey, sequencer style and it all hangs together nicely as a cohesive electronic music album. Code Indigo open proceedings with the moody 12 minute epic ‘Redemption’, a forgotton unreleased gem from 2002. Next up is Ron Boots with the melancholy but upbeat ‘Cries in the Mist’ and things liven up with the foot stomping, guitar driven ‘Deep Dream’ from FD Project. VoLt  present another gem with the excellent and traditional 80’s style em ‘Circadian Cycle’, before we then go into experimental space music mode with the exploratory ‘Orcadian Voyager Dives Again’ by Concept Devices. ‘Industrial Sunset-Leaving Town’ by Gazz Collins picks things up again weaving its seductive rhythmic spell. We then move into the longest track on the album, a great slice of electronica/rock, ‘Thunder Road’ by Ron Boots. The album closes with ‘Krystal Halls Highway’, a tribute to the late Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock, performed by Code Indigo and featuring Klaus. The track is a reworking of a previously unreleased David Wright/Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock track ‘Krystal Halls’. E-Scape 2018 is sure to appeal to fans of traditional sequencer styled, spacey electronic music
