Implant Code is a project from Croatia that released a 4 track mini CD for the Minus Habens label in 1993.
The band consisted of Miljenko Rajaković, Mario Kalendarić 
(both artists are DJs and producers, with numerous releases throughout the 90s on various labels) and Vlado Knežević.
Miljenko Rajaković is also known from his dark ambient band
TeHÔM.
Biodigit includes four different cosmic voyages through unknown alien worlds.
This work shows an impressive vision on the theme, creating cold and lost conceptual experimental 
and electronic ambient structures, sometimes fused with mind-absorbing rhythms.

World Serpent Distribution was a British record label and music distribution house formed in the late 80s 
and was co-owned by David Gibson, Alan Trench and Alison Webster.
 Douglas Pearce of Death In June coined the company name in 1991, 
World Serpent being another name for Jormungandr.
 World Serpent was well known for distributing music by many post-industrial, apocalyptic folk, neofolk, 
avant-garde and otherwise esoteric or experimental artists, such as Death In June (through NER), 
Current 93 (through Durtro), Sol Invictus (through Tursa), Coil (through Threshold House),
Nurse With Wound (through United Dairies), Zone (through Potentia), Elijah's Mantle (through De Nova Da Capo), 
Orchis (through Cryptanthus), Ozymandias (through Ramses Records) and many others.
Many of these artists also ended up collaborating with or being influenced by one another, 
causing the World Serpent name to become synonymous with many of the artists and labels 
distributed through the company during the early 1990s.
World Serpent also functioned as a label, although they released very few records on their own. 
The vast majority of the releases they distributed were on other labels & imprints.
In August 2004 World Serpent went bankrupt and was no longer operating.
