        From the world of British electronica comes Code>Indigo's 
Uforia. The spelling of the album title reveals the group's 
seeming preoccupation with alien intelligence and apocalyptic, 
futuristic themes. Cryptic spoken word passages recur throughout the 
hour-long program, as do echo-laden wordless vocals and sustainy 
synth patches and arpeggios. The group might set up a texture without 
a pulse for as long as four minutes, and then drop a drum groove in 
suddenly, to great effect. The grooves that anchor "The Call," 
"Stars," and "Uforia" are pretty hip.
	The sequenced opening of "SyncGate" suggests Discipline-era 
King Crimson, and the live, bluesy guitar heard in "The Call" and 
"Fallen" sounds a bit like David Gilmour, calling Pink Floyd's 
atmospherics to mind. There's also some live saxophone in "Uforia," 
another touch of Floyd. I could do without the cheesy Gregorian 
chants laced throughout "The Call." It's been done before.
	Overall, the album is a little monochromatic. The group digs 
into the same bag of tricks on each track. Still, there are some 
funky beats and nice textures, and the recording quality is excellent.
                    ~ David R. Adler
