''Code: Selfish'' is a 1992 LP (14th) by British rock band The Fall which entered the chart at number 21. It is characterised by its harsher sound, in relation to the previous year's ''Shift-Work'', and is influenced by techno music.〔Fadele, Dele (14 Mar. 1992). "Tales from the Cryptographic Ocean". ''NME''.〕 This was probably due to the addition of techno fan Dave Bush to the line-up. Despite this, the album also has some notably mellow moments with "Time Enough At Last" (named after an episode of ''The Twilight Zone'') and "Gentlemen's Agreement" being at odds with the overall sound of the album. Largely recorded in a converted church in Glasgow, ''Code: Selfish'' features the group's only self-penned Top 40 single "Free Range". The album would prove to be their last for the Phonogram label as the group were dropped following the release of the ''Ed's Babe'' EP later in 1992. Simon Ford reports in his Fall biography ''Hip Priest'' that Phonogram had to compensate the band for the early termination of their five-album deal and that these funds were used to record what became ''The Infotainment Scan''. The album was re-released by Voiceprint in 2002, under licence from Phonogram and also appeared in a 2-CD set coupled with an edition of ''Shift-Work'' on the same label in 2003. This edition added "Ed's Babe" and "Free Ranger" to the tracklisting. It was reissued again in expanded and re-mastered form by Universal in May 2007. According to keyboard player Dave Bush, the song "Immortality" was partly inspired by Milan Kundera's 1990 novel of the same name. == Track listing == # "The Birmingham School of Business School" (Mark E.
