This stunning double album is already being hailed as the best Code Indigo work too date. Compiled from the groups live appearances in the UK and Europe between 2004 and 2006, culminating in the e-live festival in Holland and the UK Fisher Theatre appearance,
“In Concert” is the definitive record of a band in perfect harmony, performing at the peak of their combined creative and musical talents.
Call of the Earth – From Code Indigo In Concert CD
Nigel Turner-Heffer | David Wright | Robert Fox | Andy Lobban
Area 52. Composed as a one off special for the Eindhoven e-live music festival. Featuring Nigel on Bass and Lead Guitar.
I don’t say this often but your performance at E-Live is UN – BE – LIE – VA – BLY good.
Amazing guitar, rhythms and soloing. You guys *really* had it together that day.
Compliments to all of you and a *deep* bow!

The concert was fantastic. The chose of artists fit together perfectly from start to finish. It still remains a mystery how they do it, make those wonderufl sounds. One thing that still stands out was our time spent with the gentleman from England after the concert. Thanks to you guys for a very enjoyable time.

We had a tremendously enjoyable E-live last Saturday. It was well organised with great acts. The highlight was Code Indigo, which was really fantastic!

This was our first time at e/live and it won’t be our last!, we had a brilliant time, all the acts were good and different but Code Indigo were by far the best for me. If there is any band that could (and should) be lots bigger than they actually are its Code Indigo. I feel they could appeal to a much wider audience, mainly ex-rockers who have just mellowed with age! Liked everything about the day, See you next year.

The main attraction, in many people’s eyes, was the UK’s Code Indigo, with Robert Fox and David Wright headlining the act. There is no doubt of their compositional talents, performance skills and class, as demonstrated on their albums and indeed in this performance, so audience expectations were high. Wright and Fox were supported by two electric guitar players on each side, and a computer graphic morphing in the background, projected from a portable projector on the stage, thus offering the night’s first and only visual effect. The band proceeded to play songs from various albums, with the guitars playing an important role, almost to the extent of making it a hard rock show. Not far from what Patrick Rondat does in Jarre’s songs, but with a more classic prog-rock touch, somewhere between Rondat and Pink Floyd, one could say. At one point, the guitar players walk off stage and David and Robert plays an improvised piece, though being complete with melody and chords and effects in the right places. No analogue button fumbling of any kind, just a straight electronic song, which did not seem improvised at all, which was a tribute to the two guys’ talents. In the end, Code Indigo walks off the stage to thunderous applause, and being called on stage again for an encore, which they happily deliver.

I want to thank you yet for that beautiful E-Live. High point was for me surely Code Indigo. That perfectionism speaks to me well.

CODE INDIGO:
- perfect performance
- perfect sounding
- 2 great new guitar players
- in my opinion the best song was while David and Robert played totally live without backing.

Pollard already made my day so I was curious to find out what Code Indigo would perform, I only have ‘Live in Duisburg’ of them and I have to admit that I don’t like that one. But boy did they surprise me, the 1st track started off like Pink Floyd, but this changed soon enough. Usually when you have synths and guitars on stage either one of them is dominating, but not this time they found a perfect mixture between synths and guitars.

All my congratulations for your concert yesterday at the E-live. For me, the best moment was when you and Robert are alone on stage and have playing in the style of Vangelis (in his best musical period). A full emotional moment with a perfect complicity whith two great musicians. Just one regret, principally in the first part of the concert, the guitars are a little too loud and cover your nice synth music. I thinks that it’s very difficult to have a good balance and mix on stage. Principally when several concert are consecutive and you have not the time for to do a real check-sound.
It’s a real pleasure to see you again, Elaine and Dave also.Your kindness and generosity are so great. I have discover Robert. it’s real good surprise for me. On the picture, Robert seems too serious, unfriendly and it’s just the opposite ! I understand that you like make music with a man like him.
Didier
Just returned from Eindhoven to see Code Indigo, they were brilliant!, when i was there your stall was selling a new special cd which i was going to buy but never got around to it, will it be available to order from your website soon?.
Nigel Boot
Nigel composed seven pieces of music for the laser show, which ran five times a day seven days a week.
The show was about the history of lasers and was narrated by Tom Baker of Dr Who Fame.
First Leisure commissioned Laser Grafix of Royston to provide a laser extravaganza for the general public. The resulting package was a fully automated laser, light and sound show, that aimed to be as educational as it was dramatically impressive.
To that end, a voice over (Tom Baker) depicted Albert Einstein in a classroom explaining how coherent light is created provided continuous commentary throughout the display, which used custom created graphics extensively, in combination with more conventional displays of laser beam capabilities.
Four 4.5 ‘Purelight’ mixed gas lasers, two custom built effects heads, two beam tables and four Nexus fibre head projectors, were used. Fifty target mirrors, 16 diffraction effects and eight mirror-balls and of course smoke machines, very important with a laser show. Also four giant motorised screens were used to project the intricate and clever graphics onto.
Albert Einstein explains the theory behind laser light.
Sound:
A full range JBL sound system was used to relay Nigel’s music and the voice over. JBL bass bins were shrouded and sited centre stage acting not only as a sound source, but also a central target element for the lighting. The JBL cabinets were flown centrally above the circus area to give a more than complete sound service.
The JBL sound rig:
8 x JBL 2365A flown central cluster consisting of constant directivity horns
8 x JBL 2445 2″ compression drivers.
6 x JBL 4512U direct radiating mid range enclosures loaded with JBL 2206 12″ mid range drivers
4 x JBL 4645A bass enclosures
4 x C-Audio SR707 amps
1 x C-Audio RA2000 AM
Nigel and the team spent over three months at the Blackpool Tower synchronising the lasers to the sound track. The entire show with all the cues was then transferred to laser disc. The technician at the Blackpool tower pressed play on the disc player and the smoke machines, lasers and video play back triggered.
The Trisha show was broadcast every week day at 10:30 am on channel five.
Nigel was commissioned by TownHouse TV to compose music for the show.
The event was staged at the Savoy Hotel London.
Nigel composed the music for the awards opening video which contained footage of the teams at work and pages from the journal. He also produced the winner’s music stings and recorded the voice-over’s announcing their achievements.
The evening was hosted by Tony Hawks, TV personality and author of “Round Ireland with a fridge” and “One Hit Wonderland”
Sponsored by Molson and Disco Mirror, the club of the year awards were staged at the Birmingham Metropole Hotel.
Award categories included regional awards, supplier awards, personnel awards – best lighting jockey and disc jockey and best club manager. Awards were also given for new concept venue and finally club of the year.
The events where hosted by Jonathan Ross, year one, and Noel Edmonds, year two.
Nigel produced the music for the opening video of the judging panel and outline of the categories. He also produced the winners’ fanfares.
The awards entertained a record 910 guests at the black tie dinner in Birmingham.
The awards recognised the highest standards of operation in the UK discotheque industry and the ultimate accolade of club of the year went to TOTS2000 in Southend.

Nigel produced the reveal music for a ‘live reveal’. Dim lighting was used to show a silhouette outline of the car, then as the car was reveal, up-tempo music with a fast moving light show.
For the MAN Trucks conference Nigel sampled the trucks engine, air brakes and the door slamming and used the sounds for the drum kit. The engine as the snare drum the air brakes as the hi-hats and the doors at various pitches for the tom toms

Nigel was commissioned to produce music for the event in Hong Kong. Nigel had produced music for the incentive events in the UK, which lead to the sales team reaching their sales targets and winning the trip to Hong Kong. The management team at Ciba Geigy felt that Nigel’s music had contributed in motivating the sales team to win the incentive trip, so Nigel was given the opportunity to attend the Hong Kong event.
