quote: Code Indigo is one of those hard to catagorize and innovative bands whose music and concept style albums cross genres and appeal to a wide range of audiences. With strong melodic compositions, an imaginative combination of keyboards, guitar, samples and rhythms plus a good helping of atmosphere and sublime "off the wall" moments, their music compares to that of a Blade Runner style soundtrack. A sort of 'electronic music meets instrumental rock with experimental, ambient and down tempo chill out influences' all part of the mix. Think 'Art of Noise, Enigma and instrumental Pink Floyd' or music for ex-rockers who have mellowed with age.

The band was founded in 1995 by David Wright and Robert Fox as a vehicle for their collaborative work and also featured Nik Smith on lead guitar and Vaughn Evans on synths. Pat Patterson replaced Nik Smith on guitar in 1997, but was himself replaced a year later by Andy Lobban. Vaughn Evans left the band in 1998.

The current line up is David Wright and Robert Fox on keyboards, Andy Lobban (lead guitar), Dave Massey (rhythm programming) and Nigel Turner-Heffer on keyboards, bass and rhythm guitar.

The 1995 debut 'For Whom The Bell' is considered a seminal album, while the 1999 offering 'Uforia' was released to critical acclaim. The 2003 release "TimeCode" has become one of Echos Radio USA "Essential top 25 chill-out albums" and the 2006 epic "Chill" is considered their best too date.

The band have also released two live albums. The 1997 Duisburg concert and the hugely popular 1998 Derby Cathedral Concert, considered by many fans to be Code Indigo's finest performance.

Code Indigo's first major concert was at the AD Music festival in 1995 and was followed by the hugely successful 1996 German concert in Duisburg with German synth legend Klaus Schulze. Two spectacular concerts at Derby Cathedral followed in 1997 and 1998, and the band premiered the second studio album "Uforia" at the Electric Theatre, Guildford in 1999. They didn't appear live again until the 3rd studio album Timecode was premiered at the NSC Leicester in 2003. A second NSC concert followed in early 2006 to premiere "Chill" and Code Indigo headlined the e-live festival in October the same year.

Code Indigo remain one of the most prominent acts on the AD Music label

Top Notch concert at last year's E-Live 2006.

Rene , i agree, great act they are, i have all of their work including the recent 2 Live cd just released. Still very electronic, IMO, but with nice touches of guitar work. Nice change having an actual bass guitar in the above 2 Live cd.

I finally got round to buying the new 'Live' double set. It's a really good album. The live version of Uforia. And the closing track on disc one are amazing. The album features the best guitar work to date IMO. On the opening track you clearly hear the similarities to Pink Floyd.

Just recently discovered this band and boy, have I been missing out! Even my son likes 'em (but then again, he likes some of his ol' man's music), especially CHILL, which is NP.
