Description
The self-titled, cassette-only demo by the American synth-pop band Code of Ethics was self-released in 1990. The album was produced and engineered by band member Barry Blazs.
Code of Ethics is Barry Blazs, Eric Switzer, and Mark Tanner.
I saw this offered as a download online and decided to check it out. This seems to be the band’s demo before getting signed with R.E.X. Music and releasing Visual Paradox. I don’t think any of the songs here were released on any later releases (at least not with the same name), except for «Can’t Live a Day» on Lost in Egypt in 2008. This tape sounds like their earlier Europop sound, except with slightly more noticeable guitars (but not to the point of being nearly industrial like Soulbait). This is an interesting look into the early days of the band. I don’t have a full scan of the cover, so I tried to recreate one as best as I could above from three of the pictures that were shared.
