Info (English):
With Code Is Law 003, label head Moerbeck plays with this artistic device with great success: “Movies For The Blind” takes direct aim at our imagination without allowing its intent to shine through to the surface. XVII from Leipzig’s Institut für Zukunft begins by laying an unshakable foundation for this short story with his eponymous ambient production. Delta X, Moerbeck and Eomac are telling the rest of this mysterious story with a Four-to-the-Floor-Beat.

The phenomenon kopfkino is a nuanced thing, although, especially in music, it has the ability to work as an impassioned metaphor. Only then, when music has the power to move, are the doors of this mental cinema opened, our imaginative abilities primed, and dormant associations stirred to life. With Code Is Law 003, label head Moerbeck plays with this artistic device with great success: “Movies For The Blind” takes direct aim at our imagination without allowing its intent to shine through to the surface. XVII from Leipzig’s Institut für Zukunft begins by laying an unshakable foundation for this short story with his eponymous ambient production. A succinct “Go” is heard on “Broken Mirror” by Urkraine’s Delta X and with driving loops gathers momentum for the whole. On side b, it’s almost as if Moerbeck and Eomac want to tell two alternative endings to the story. The first concludes the narrative, draped in melancholy, making use of a modulated synth loop, followed by Eomac, who sows complete confusion and lets everything sink to its end in a bog of filters.
