Dive deep into the sonic realm with ‘Continuum’, a masterfully curated album by CODE. This work seamlessly breathes life into archived studio sessions, crafting a soundscape that feels utterly contemporary. The album’s rich production and emotional depth transcend time, drawing on inspirations from iconic artists like Kraftwerk, The Blue Nile, Talk Talk, David Sylvian, and Pink Floyd. Yet, despite these influences, ‘Continuum’ exudes a unique romantic techno fervor.
The album, available as a 2xLP with twelve songs or a streamlined version on CD & digital with eight tracks, offers listeners a rejuvenated experience of their early heavy industrial techno track ‘505 345 675 Delta 9’ / ‘Straight to Hell’. The pared-down artistry of tracks like ‘Pleasure’ and ‘Metal Of Lesser Proportions’ offers a compelling contrast. Gems like ‘Atlantic’, ‘Bleak Moments’, and ‘The Architect’ are reintroduced in remixed form, with the cosmic rendition of ‘The Architect’ being a noteworthy delight. Once titled ‘The Grand Architect’, its grandiosity is even more palpable now. And for the avid listener, six entirely new tracks grace the album across its formats.
The unmatched quality of CODE’s 1990s music, as encapsulated in ‘Continuum’, rivals celebrated electronic acts of its time. Their music’s enduring charm has led to its inclusion in various electronic dance and chill-out compilations. Notably, in 2021, two of CODE’s members contributed significantly to the impressive ‘Love And Death’ album by H2SO4.
