*Warning – May Cause Diabetes* That’s the verbiage that should be included somewhere on this CD. Code 64 is an overly light, sugary, synth-pop band hailing from Sweden. I really tried to give this album a better than average chance because, even though on the onset I did not like it, I still felt as if there was something I was missing. Certain tracks, such as Airborn, showed so much potential, but fell flat. Leaving Earth has a wonderful beat and a throbbing rhythm, but the vocals just ruin it for me. The vocals aren’t bad per se, but they just seem too airy and whimsical. I enjoyed the instrumental Airborn, but I think that one could have used some edgy vocals as the music is rather repetitive. Musically, Run To You is a good track with some solid programming, but the vocals are to ‘80’s’ for my style. I guess if you just can’t seem to get enough saccharine enriched Erasure than this CD is for you.
