The 'Trinity' of Ian Boddy, Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and David Wright present melodic instrumental, electronic music in the classic space music style, with infectious rhythms, glorious themes and loads of atmosphere, The music and indeed the entire performance, is all imbued by a strong sense of the three individual musicians.
However, the music is expertly disciplined to present a strong sense of the collective 'Trinity' and will not only appeal to fans of the three individual musicians, but should find favour with all fans of instrumental music with substance and style. Featuring stunning new takes on classic tracks from the extensive back catalogue of all three musicians, plus the awesome collaborative title track, this is electronic music to savor and enjoy! Recorded at the Festival of September 2009 at the Derby Guildhall, the music has been eq’d and digitally mastered with only minor edits to the actual performanc

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.

Prophecy finds David Wright joined by vocalist Carys and extending his musical palette to a degree that may surprise even his most devoted fans. As is clear from the titles, ‘Prophecy’ has both an oceanic and a space theme, yet neither dominate the album. The structure is typical ‘David Wright’, but the music has a somewhat different feel, with the beautiful vocal textures of Carys adding another dimension; and with themes blending effortlessly together to the extent that they form a complete piece, one is unlikely to play only a single track from this album. ‘Prophecy’ incorporates elements of electronic, space, ambient and rock music that will reach deep into your psyche to induce visions of “A journey from the ocean to the stars”. Beginning with gentle ambience, the album builds slowly and evocatively to rhythmic and sequenced sections that ebb and flow through cosmic passages to the album’s dynamic finale. David is expert at orchestrating simple ideas, and the evolving ambience and recurring synth themes contained here hold your interest from the start. The varied vocal input by Carys adds an almost spiritual dimension to the music: her plaintive whale cries, as part of the dense textured layers and as ‘lead’, are stunning, while the short, central spoken section is deeply moving. ‘Prophecy’ took over a year to record utilising a vast array of synths, deep ocean sounds and authentic space sounds courtesy of NASA.

“Prophecy is a more celestial offering from David Wright with the voice of Carys adding an ethereal quality that expands the scope of the themes revolving within the music. A beautifully played and produced venture towards the more cosmic end of the synth music spectrum that is a very worthwhile and successful one”

These two experienced musicians combine to produce an album of original music very much inspired by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Vangelis. ‘The Reflecting Sky’ presents 75 minutes of diverse and original electronic music that weaves a powerful, sequencer laden spell packed with sonic delights that will have fans of traditional Berlin school em as well as fans of the two musicians in raptures. ‘The Reflecting Sky’ came from a series of improvised sessions at David Wright’s Suffolk studio between 2017 and 2019 during ‘down time’ from Code Indigo concert rehearsals. During that time the duo laid the foundations for four distinctly different tracks. However, it wasn’t until early 2020 and the time afforded by the Covid-19 lockdown, that they went back to the music. After 4 months of painstaking editing and arranging, the result, we think you will agree, is a fascinating blend of musical styles, a metamorphosis into something unique. The 11 tracks are in fact 4 long pieces, each displaying a creative and imaginative blend of sequences, rhythms and atmospherics that create a soundscape to take the listener on a mind-blowing cosmic journey. While the duo clearly pay a passing nod to the more established luminaries of the genre, ‘The Reflecting Sky’ is an original and sophisticated slice of electronic music, clearly reflecting the musical vision and expertise of both artists at the peak of their creative prowess and clearly enjoying the collaboration.

‘Beyond the Airwaves Volume 1’ is the 25th solo album from UK synth veteran David Wright and also marks 25 years since his first release. The 12 interlinked tracks are actually 4 long pieces that ebb and flow with commanding themes and a sweeping grandeur. The music covers a variety of electronic music styles with strong rhythms and sequences underpinning a multitude of layers and lush passages that are rich with drama. There are 48 minutes of new music plus an epic 30 minute reimagining of his classic ‘Walking with Ghosts’ suite. The music is taken from live concerts in the USA and Europe in 2012 and 2013, all reworked and added to afterwards in the studio. The idea being to combine the spontaneity of the concert recordings with the more disciplined and creative studio approach to present a blend of both and hopefully, something a little different.
‘Beyond the Airwaves Volume 1’ is a pulsating voyage into cosmic electronic music and a worthy addition to David Wright’s extensive catalogue.

Volume 2 of David Wright’s ‘Beyond the Airwaves’ trilogy continues where Volume 1 left off, presenting a variety of electronic, ambient, space rock music styles, this time with guests Robert Fox on synths, Lee Morant on guitar and the voice of Carys.
The 35 minute ‘Dreaming Desire’ features Carys on vocals and is a beautifully emotive and slow building epic that came out of an improvised studio session with Robert Fox in 2014. ‘Return to the Plains’ is a live reworking of sections from the ever popular ‘Moments In Time’ album, here reimagined to stunning effect. This 25 minute epic builds with with strong rhythms, sequences and ethnic flavours, underpinned by a multitude of layers and lush passages that make it rich with drama. As with Volume 1, the live sections are taken from live concerts in the USA and Europe in 2012 and 2013, all reworked and added to afterwards in the studio. There are 2 bonus tracks: “Call to Me” which is a chill out track written by Carys and David Wright, plus a Chill Out Remix of  “Walking with Ghosts”. ‘Beyond the Airwaves Volume 2’ is another pulsating voyage into cosmic electronic music and a worthy addition to David Wright’s extensive catalogue.

Volume 3 completes David Wright’s ‘Beyond the Airwaves’ trilogy and presents a cosmic, spacey synth-rock style journey through electronic tones featuring the guitars of the late Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and Code Indigo guitarist Andy Lobban.
‘Beyond the Airwaves Volume 3’ is a voyage into pulsating, rhythmic and cosmic electronic music and a worthy addition to David Wright’s extensive catalogue.
The album opens with the album version of “CastleRigg”, its ethereal opening atmospheres giving way to driving hypnotic rhythms and sequences. ‘Citadel’ is a 30 minutes slice of EM that evolves from gentle ambient vistas into pulsating rhythms, sequences and flowing mellotrons, pads and synth leads, all embellished by the guitars of Andy Lobban and Klaus ‘Cosmic’ Hoffmann-Hoock. ‘The Presence of Motion’ is a major revision of an older live track, expanded upon by David with added sequences & rhythms. This very spaced out piece also serves as the perfect showcase for the wonderful cosmic guitar of the late, great Klaus ‘Cosmic’ Hoffmann-Hoock. ‘Beyond the Airwaves Volume 3’ is a voyage into pulsating, rhythmic and cosmic electronic music and a worthy addition to David Wright’s extensive catalogue.

David Wright, develops his chill out electronic music and presents a CD of classic rhythmic & cosmic EM that sounds fresh and contemporary.

A beautiful work of melodic space music that recalls classic electronic music of the seventies and eighties...

Deeper is a studio album from David Wright in 2005 and finds the artist at the peak of his creative progress. Deeper is an imaginative, journey style offering with a strong sense of emotion and warmth pervading the album. There are strong themes, poignant melodies and lush orchestrations, all laced with atmospherics and underpinned with gentle percussion and sequences.
Stylistically, the album is closer to his classic ‘Walking with Ghosts” than the 2004 release “Continuum”, but Deeper is a much more evocative and symphonic album than any of his previous outings. Indeed, Deeper is probably the most ‘complete’ David Wright album too date, showing the maturity of an artist at total ease with his music.
Deeper is a “Must have” for existing DW fans and will find favour with those who enjoy high quality melodic electronic music.

David continues to produce music of a high standard and this epic new studio album is no exception and may well be regarded as one of his finest works. Fifteen interlinked tracks spanning a colossal 77 minutes of music that is stylistically a cross between "Walking With Ghosts" and "Continuum". The album features Andy Lobban and Nigel Turner- Heffer on lead and bass guitars respectively and there are also some vocal textures that will no doubt draw comparison with Code Indigo. However, this is a very definite and very classy David Wright album.
There is some gorgeous piano, particularly on the track "Dreams", lots of trademark synth solos plus inventive rhythms and sequences on "Just an Illusion" and "State of Confusion" while David's string arrangements have never been more inspired on "Cry to the Moon" and "The Canyon". Other tracks like "State of Bliss" with its evocative guitar and stunning blues arrangement, the sparse "Heatwave in Blue" and the Klaus Schulze inspired "Amorphous" highlight that David is prepared to take risks. He is also able to multitask and present different styles on an album, remain cohesive and not deviate from what people recognize as his core emotive style. Huge in scope and recalling previous epics like Cassini and Sea of Dreams this new album will be a real treat for fans old and new.

David's 24th opus is an epic journey reflecting the ebb and flow of life, encapsulated in a diverse and coherent collection of musical soundscapes. In keeping with his very best journey style albums (think "Dreams and Distant Moonlight"), "In Search of Silence" offers a roller-coaster ride of emotions and styles. From the ethereal to the atmospheric, from the melotron and sequencer dominated rhythmic to lounge chill out and ambient, David Wright really has pulled out all the stops on this one to present a stunning, expertly crafted 78 minute mammoth masterpiece.

This has been a fun album to do, not least because I've been rediscovering a lot of sounds from my hardware synths and relying less on the soft synths - not that there's anything wrong with the soft synths - they're still in evidence on the new album, but it is dominated by hardware synths this time round, including the Kurzweil PC3x, JP8000, JD990 and Karma Even my old 01W, 05rW and K4 had the cobwebs blown off them and used.
Musically I think this new album is a departure from recent works, I'd say that some of the music is structured in the same linear way I approached "Walking with Ghosts", but does include some improvised and drifting segments circa "Momentum".
I think it's probably fair to say that I've been less concerned about the "technical" this time during the writing and recording process and concentrated more on being spontaneous and creative.

Remastered digital re-issue of one of David Wright’s most accomplished concert performances, taken from two nights at The London Planetarium in October 1995. David has since performed a further 14 planetarium concerts around Europe, with a 15th at Bochum scheduled for 29th August 2015. These venues are ideally suited to David’s gently rhythmic, emotive space music. The CD went out of print in 2012 and this remaster was commissioned for Itunes. There are currently no plans to release the remaster on CD. However, a limited addition are available on high quality CDr with new artwork on slimline tray. The remaster further enhances an already classic album. If you know David’s music, then you’ll know what to expect. If you haven’t heard him before, then this is a good place to start. This is no longer available on CD but as a CDr is in a slimline case with new artwork.
