Chill Out This Summer With New Ambient (Double) Album ‘CONTINUUM’ By British Electronics CODE

Posted on by JL

Standout longplayers

13 July 2022

Band: CODE (Tonbridge, UK)

Who: Electronic quartet that earned their stripes in the electronic scene of the early 1990s and were championed by the likes of John Peel, John Digweed, and Kiss FM presenters Colin Dale and Colin Faver. Their debut album, ‘The Architect’, was released in 1995. It’s follow-up, Ghost Ship came out in 2020 after a 25-year journey, and here’s number three.

New album: CONTINUUM
Order: here

“Over the course of twelve songs (2xLP), or a more compact eight (CD & digital), ‘Continuum’ sees CODE rework both sides of their chunky, industrial techno-tinged early single ‘505 345 675 Delta 9’ / ‘Straight to Hell’, which contrast neatly with the uber-cool minimalism of ‘Pleasure’ and ‘Metal Of Lesser Proportions’. The songs ‘Atlantic’, ‘Bleak Moments’ and ‘The Architect’ all appear in remixed form from their debut, with the cosmic, improvised version of the last of these being a rare treat. Originally entitled ‘The Grand Architect’, it sounds even grander now. Six further songs are released for the first time ever across the various formats.”

Turn Up The Volume: This is the soothing soundtrack that will help you to chill out
this summer after an e-cstatic marathon of dancing yourself into a trance. Continuum
is an ideal companion for your coming down state of mind (Pleasure / You’re The One /
Love Is A Liquid).

Almost whispering vocals float gently over the ambient slo-mo waves and strengthen
the overall cool down and drift away in la-la-land mood. And in the end, you get
funky trip tune Downhill Ski to move your hips one more time before going to bed.

Exploring The Dark Electronic Side Of The Moon With CODE And Their New Symphony ‘ACHERON’

New striking strokes

27 May 2022

Band: CODE
Who: British electronic quartet that earned their
stripes in the electronic scene of the early 1990s.

New album: CONTINUUM
Release: 24 June 2022 – pre-order info here

“Continuum’ has been assembled by remodelling material from archived studio sessions and sounds like it could have been made yesterday. Emotionally engaging and exquisitely produced, it is timeless music that, although carrying traces of influences such as Kraftwerk, The Blue Nile, Talk Talk, David Sylvian and Depeche Mode, also has a romantic techno intensity all of its own.”

New single: ACHERON
The follow-up to lead single Pleasure

Acheron is known in Greek mythology as the ‘river of lost souls, although sci-fi fans are likely to be more familiar with Acheron (LV-426), one of three moons orbiting the gas giant Calpamos. It was here that a crew member of the USCSS Nostromo first discovered the eggs of a species of alien that would go on to spawn a highly successful movie franchise.

Turn Up The Volume says: If Pink Floyd would have been a full synth orchestra
they would have sounded like this. Ambient, atmospheric, spacey, and futuristic.

Acheron moves and grooves like an eagle flying in slo-mo high up there in the sky.
The song’s layered symphonic orchestration creates a cinematic sound trip. This is
what chimeric dream music is about, music to lose your psyche in.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re floating in space
towards the dark electronic side of the moo.

Get on board…
