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'.
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 and Robert Fox left the band in 2008.
The current line up is David Wright and Neil Fellowes 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 much critical acclaim. The 2003 release "TimeCode" has become one of Echoes Radio USA "Essential top 25 chill-out albums" and the 2006 epic "Chill" is considered their best too date.
The band have also released three live albums. The 1997 Duisburg concert, the hugely popular 1998 Derby Cathedral Concert, which is part of the limited edition 4 CD Box set "Blue" and the excellent double "In Concert" released in 2007 which also acts an an excellent introduction to the band.
Your music leaves me really speechless. I am fan of a ''little bit'' different kinds of music and recently when i discovered your band it opened a whole new door for me. Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, ambient chill out, yet so original, so amazingly structured and played by great musicians. The real Syd Barett (who was one of my first friends here on Myspace, believe it or not, just before he died)will like this stuff as well. I have to admit that your music i can listen to constantly without pressing stop on my hi-fi. Absolute favourites of mine and i am definitely coming to your concert in September 2009.That will be my first time (hopefully, all going well)to see you live. All the best from Northern Ireland and thank you for accepting me as a friend, Thor
