If I were to guess, I'd say that Sources in Code are not a band that would shy away from a label like "epic" or "mind-expanding." They describe themselves as progressive and experimental, but these qualities mainly manifest themselves in the form of these momentous, expansive rock and roll journeys that have less to do with Gentle Giant and Genesis and more with to do with the heavier and more grandiose moments of bands like the Verve or Spiritualized. One also gets the impression that Sources in Code are way more comfortable in a live setting than they are in a recording studio. Their tight musicianship is what carries them. After years of involvement in other progressive rock bands, the members of Sources in Code seem to have their shit down.
