Co-produced with dub mastermind \u003cstrong\u003eAdrian Sherwood\u003c\/strong\u003e, it marked a bold shift toward synth-pop and mechanistic funk, the last Cabaret Voltaire album made with a major budget while remaining defiantly credible, featuring charting singles 'Don't Argue' and 'Here to Go'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's title speaks to a preoccupation that felt urgent at the time and has only grown more resonant since: the creeping integration of technology, computers and programming into every corner of human life. For Cabaret Voltaire, \u003cem\u003eCODE\u003c\/em\u003e meant control, not just in regards to music-making, but also in terms of social and economic control against a backdrop of excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at the band's own \u003cstrong\u003eWestern Works\u003c\/strong\u003e studio in Sheffield, with Sherwood joining for pre-production before the sessions moved to \u003cstrong\u003eRed Bus\u003c\/strong\u003e in London to mix, the album captures a band at the height of their commercial and creative powers. This reissue was begun in 2019 with Richard H. Kirk, before his untimely death and completed using his notes, in consultation with Stephen Malinder and Richard's estate, a fitting tribute to his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLIMITED EDITION CODIFIED MARBLE VINYL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes 2 page insert with new sleeve notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDELUXE 3XCD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes two bonus discs featuring remastered remixes from the time and previously unreleased remixes discovered in the archive\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUTE","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Codified Marble Vinyl","offer_id":54390525559111,"sku":"TRI-76090","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deluxe Edition CD","offer_id":54390525591879,"sku":"TRI-76091","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/INT_20260720_1120_110820_981_p_Cabaret_Voltaire_CODE_remastered_1080_001.jpg?v=1784548074","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/cabaret-voltaire-code-2026-remaster","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
