Cold Waves Of Color 2
Following on from the superb and well-received first volume, here's the second volume of electronics, synth pop, cold wave and minimal tracks culled from the archives of the legendary Color Tapes cassette label, a key player in the 1980's UK underground scene. Many of these tracks originally appeared on cassette micro-editions, but there are several previously unreleased selections too! The collection includes rare cuts by the likes of Lives Of Angels, Disintegrators, The Lord, WeR7, Mystery Plane and Berserk In A Hayfield. The 36-page booklet is a reprint of issue one of Color Tapes' own 'Purple Twilight' fanzine from 1985, which features articles on Lives Of Angels, Modern Art, Legendary Pink Dots, and Cleaners From Venus. A rare glimpse into the weird and wonderful ways of the UK's '80s cassette underground scene. Remastered from the original source tapes by Denis Blackham, this is a must-have for synth and cold wave collectors!!
