Every now and again something comes along that ticks all the boxes and has real “wow” factor. Uriel’s debut “Culture Shift” is just such an album. Fans of the music we release on AD will hear immediately why we moved quickly to release it. Full of deep emotion, great sounds, subtle world influences, original rhythms and memorable themes, the music transcends culture and styles and represents everything that our fans love.

This is music of maturity, depth and a sense of purpose, combining synths, sequences, guitars, flutes, violin, percussion and vocal textures to incredible effect. A genuinely stunning debut!

Here is a great opportunity to hear the recorded interview of UK Electronic Music artist Robert Fox for WFIT Radio in 2007 on the AD Music website. It is without the doubt the most in depth Robert Fox interview ever! At over two hours (3 separate free MP3 downloads available on the AD Music website), Robert is interviewed by Eric Blankman. He talks frankly about his solo music, Code Indigo, AD Music, his inspiration, his theatre work and much, much more. It also features great Robert Fox instrumental music, personally selected by the artist for the show. Not to be missed!

“Adonai”, released on the AD Music label on 5th May 2008 is an inspired instrumental music soundtrack creation featuring gorgeous flowing orchestrally inspired passages laced with vocal textures and solo piano, sax and guitar. This is Robert Fox at his most awesome and his most creative. Different in mood and style to recent electronic music outings but still unmistakably Robert Fox, here 17 tracks flow seamlessly into one another to present an emotional roller coaster ride through the emotions, drawing the listener along with it, and into it. “Adonai” is an astonishingly powerful and evocative work. Originally created for theatre, “Adonai” is hugely cinematic in scope, compelling and satisfying on every level.

UK Space Music composer David Wright has a new studio album in the works entitled “Dreams and Distant Moonlight”. The album was scheduled for release in April 2008, but due to the success of the February 2008 album Momentum, (which was itself delayed from November 2007), AD Music has pushed back the release date until at least July 2008. That date may be extended further to coincide with the David Wright UK concert on September 14th 2008 and because of a major computer upgrade in the artists recording studio.

“Dreams and Distant Moonlight” is described by David Wright as being both an “Amalgamation and a further progression of the electronic music style and moods found on recent albums like Walking with Ghosts, Continuum and Momentum“. David also says; “This is my 19th solo album and it probably contains most, if not all, of my musical influences and has been an immensely satisfying album to record”.

Much of the music has been completed, and a confirmed track listing is as follows; Procession under Moonlight, Velvetude, Touching the Illusion, State of Confusion parts 1-3, State of Bliss, Amorphous, Sun Dust, The Canyon.

Artwork for the album is by American artist Christophe Vacher.

The new David Wright album “Momentum” released on the AD Music label is receiving rave reviews. Many are saying it’s on a par with his seminal “Walking with Ghosts”. David is considered a veteran of the electronic music scene and his unique style of space music is certainly attracting a lot more attention than ever before. “Momentum” is actually a studio re-imagining of his 2007 USA Gatherings Series concert in Philadelphia. The album contains some great chill out, cosmic space music plus some great rhythmic passages. Worth checking out free mp3 samples and more news on the David Wright web pages.

Momentum is a gorgeous studio re-imagining of new music performed by at his USA Gatherings concert in September 2007. His music and performance that night garnered many plaudits and it’s no surprise that it has been reworked in the studio for CD release by AD Music. David states; “I felt inspired by a beautiful, intimate venue and an appreciative audience who were really into the music. Such combinations raise the adrenaline levels and result in an energy and spontaneous creativity that is rarely achieved in the studio”.

The gently evolving, journey style offering is laced with atmospherics and underpinned with gentle percussion and sequences that builds rhythmically as the album progresses.
The two 35 minute pieces are split into 13 parts with interlinking themes that hold the listeners attention from beginning to end and stylistically, follows the trend set with recent epic tracks like “Cassini” and “Sea of Dreams”.

Momentum contains all the best elements of David Wright’s music and is sure to find favour with existing fans and anyone who enjoys high quality electronic music.

Where some electronic music makes me Think, Wright’s music makes me Feel”.

CODE INDIGO: IN CONCERT (2CD Album) CDS review
This IS your ultimate instrumental crossover album - whether it be synth or instrumental prog rock you’re into - believe me, this has the “Wow factor” for sure.
For God’s sake, don’t let the fact that this is a ‘live’ album put you off in any way whatsoever, because it is musically sensational!
This is the kind of music that takes you to places everywhere between beautiful islands in the sun and the deepest reaches of space!
Code Indigo are the AD Music labels premier act and comprise: David Wright (synths / keyboards), Robert Fox, (synths / keyboards), Dave Massey (rhythm programming), Andy Lobban (lead & rhythm guitars), Nigel Turner-Heffer (bass, rhythm & lead guitar / keyboards) and Louise Eggerton (vocal / keyboards).
Recorded over a two and a half year period between 2004 and 2006, this mammoth double album represents all that is best about a synth band live in concert - hang on a minute - did I say “synth band”? This is more than just a synth band - and the journey you are about to undertake will illustrate that with every passing minute.
It may sound awfully clichéd to say this, but within four minutes of the opening of the first disc, you’ve already conjured images of Pink Floyd, Camel, Tangerine Dream and John Dyson / Wavestar as previously familiar reference points. With Floyd, it’s that ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ intro styled flow of synths and guitars, for Tangerine Dream, it’s the ever-shifting undercurrents where nothing ever stays still and the sequencers provide a flowing backbone, while for Dyson, Wavestar & Camel it’s that rising stream of melodic keyboard/guitar splendour that really touches the soul. Put all this together and you have but the first part of one astounding album.
Further into the voyage, we find that things become a lot deeper, more layered and altogether more solid, in many ways, as you’d expect from a line-up that featured three synth players, two guitarists and someone to keep an eye on the more percussive sides of things. Not only that, but the intensity rises too, as the synths rise to the skies to be joined by touches of surging and streaming electric guitar, so much so that it then becomes more a mix of Mike Oldfield and Enigma as different worlds collide and explode into this sun-drenched marvel that is the music of Code Indigo, where guitars are scorching into the ether as sequencers rumble behind this huge expanse of space and string synths that literally fill every crevice of your head. Sounds good? It should do - because that’s just the first twelve minutes!!! - You have sixty-two more to go - and then another seventy-seven disc to come on top of that!!
Next it’s: ‘Autumn Fades’, and after the strength that’s just been witnessed, this is a perfectly placed exercise in blissful atmosphere, as the slow rhythms, solid and melodic piano, sweet synth undercurrents flow slowly onwards towards a biting, yet restrained electric guitar lead that provides a positively Pink Floyd-esque quality. This track sounds so much like the quieter part of one of the tracks from the ‘Animals’ album, and another, which, for the life of me, I can’t recall right now - but listen to this glorious piece of music yourself and maybe you’ll lock on to the one I’m thinking of?
In tried and trusted Code Indigo fashion, nothing stays in one place for too long, and the blissful becomes strong without sacrificing any of the romance, and when it blossoms out into this Wavestar-like lead synth melody backed by vast rivers of melodic and rhythmic beauty, the effect is somewhere between joyous and not-a-dry-eye-in-the-house melancholy.
‘Ten Degrees Per Second’ is an altogether chunkier ten minutes of music, with solid but bouncing rhythms, more soaring electric guitar leads and that solid string synth depth that runs underneath. Sequencers are used more sparingly this time and in the distance, the main rhythm feature being of a more percussive nature. As the track nears its finale, a reed-like synth melody appears out of nowhere and wanders in and out of the, now even stronger electric guitar furnace, then the sequencers rise to the top and the track lurches along like a train slowly winding through some truly gorgeous background scenery.
‘24am’ is heavenly, melting into melodic and slowly chunky sounds, utilising electric piano, synths, more sustained and restrained soaring guitar, plus assorted electronic backdrops, while ‘Galileo’ takes your breath away in a shower of Mellotron-esque string synths before morphing into the near sixteen minutes of ‘Time Code’, where all the best elements of what has gone before come into play in one slowly building and strongly cohesive slice of seventies-inspired instrumental synth music, but here wrapped up in a more contemporary guise, in terms of production and arranging more than anything else, and I guarantee that you’ll be hooked by this classic piece of work.
By now, I think you get the drift - so to speak. The rest of the first disc and all of the second one feature music in a similar vein, being varied, consistent and thoroughly enjoyable. This is synth-guitars instrumental music of real substance, style and imagination, touching all the right spots as it progresses - Absolutely spellbinding stuff!
Rarely will you hear music of this quality unfold so exquisitely, and to an extent that every track carries you along with its mood in such a way that you become totally absorbed in its magical beauty, and with so much music around these days, it’s a very rare thing to find an album that you would want - desire - to play from start to finish each time you hear it, but in the case of this immaculate sounding and arranged body of work, this is true of each disc individually or, if you have the time, both together.
With all ideas perfectly executed, Code Indigo’s ‘In Concert’ is so much more that just a “synth music” album, in fact it’s potential audience is far greater than even the largest fan-base that this genre of music can offer, spreading into the realms of “symphonic prog” and beyond - Not only is it one stunning ‘live’ album, but one that’s a cut above most similar studio albums. Another real crossover classic!
