This fifth offering from Code Indigo sees the band's founders David Wright and Robert Fox with a new line up including Louise Eggerton, Dave Massey, and Andy Lobban. It has some of the typical Code Indigo elements we've come to expect -- great synth and guitar lines and melodies, heavenly female vocals, rhythms, spoken word excerpts, and various sound samples -- but it is in my view their most accomplished and melodious album to date. Indeed, as both David W's and Robert's solo music has steadily improved over time so it has been with Code Indigo. The previous release Uforia begins well but doesn't quite fulfill that promise further in, happily that doesn't happen on TimeCode>Indigo.

As the title suggests the main theme of the album is time, this is apparent both in the track titles and some of the spoken words. Time is also what you need for listening because there's a whopping hour and a quarter of music here - and remember, some artists have churned out less than half that for an album. Over much of that time there's a kind of serious and unhurried nature to the music, the pace isn't slow by any means and in the occasional track it picks up noticeably. Nearly all of the tracks are very good, with a couple that particularly stand out for me.

The third track "TimeCode" begins slowly with a continuous synth tone and some effects before getting into its stride with a voiceover talking about cosmology (and other things) while a percussive rhythm, guitar melody, and string synth melody form a nice mid-tempo structure. The "la la" wordless vocals are also heard in this piece to great effect, Louise Eggerton has a mellifluous voice that rounds the album off perfectly.

The penultimate track "Call of the Earth" is also mid-tempo, it's based around a simple but effective synth melody and drum rhythm and also features layered vocals in "la la" mode plus speaking words near the end of the piece. Rounding the album off nicely is "Endgames" which includes some Pink Floyd style guitar. I found it curious how the style of the vocals and some aspects of the melody have a kind of Parisian feel; I could imagine this piece being used as part of a soundtrack to a French film.
A high standard is kept up all the way through TimeCode>Indigo so it gets my vote as Code Indigo's best album so far.
