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.
