"Cold Waves of Color
Volume 4”
 Fourth volume of the completely sold out electronic compilation series
from the 1980's color tapes label. As with the other volumes you can
find great examples of cold wave, minimal wave and synth electronics
made by obscure British bands such as Disintegrators, Mystery Plane,
Berserk In A Hayfield and Lives of Angels—all recorded between
1980-1985, vestiges of the 1980's UK cassette underground scene. Comes
with poster insert and reproduction of issue 3 of Color Tapes' own in
house "Purple Twilight" fanzine from 1985 that features articles on
Insane Music, Space Brothers and Lives Of Angels.
"Great stuff. A worthy companion of the "Cold Waves : Minimal
Electronics" and "Mutazione" CDs. Anyone who is a fan of Cabaret
Voltaire/Human League/Throbbing Gristle/Robert Rental/Chris &
Cosey/Coil era electronics will find something they love on this." ★★★★★
Amazon review
"This retrospective is well overdue. As you might expect, much of the
material sounds like a cross between early Depeche Mode, curious Italian
coldwave and proto-EBM. Pleasingly all the material has been remastered
by legendary engineer Denis Blackham, giving the original analogue
sounds a whole new lease of life. Essential stuff" -Juno review
