Description
Our third collection of rare cold wave from the Color Tapes archivesalso includes a full color reprint of issue 2of Color Tapes' own Purple Twilightfanzinefrom 1985, featuring articles on bands such as Bushido and Mystery Plane, plus TheSubway Organization cassette catalogue from 1985. An essential document from the 80's UK cassette underground scene.The majority of tracks from these UK garage cold wave bands usedsynthesizer, drum machines and sequencers such as EMS VCS3, Minimoog, Korg MS-20, Roland Juno 6, SH-09, TR-808, all playing a crucialpart in the development of electronic music in the UK. CD edition comes with three bonus tracks not on the vinyl version!
"Those out there who have chased super limited editions of Color Tapes/Discs on Discogs will know how special theunderground label was for the English 1980s... Britishness may seem to be mentioned often in how these tracks aretalked about, but in a sense the glorious intuition of Color Tapes was to pick up some of the much more Europeanundercurrents in British synth and connect them to other countries, scenes, situations. Listening to this record, youdon't hear what we know as the UK sound of synth or coldwave, but something else, a rarefied, joyouslyexperimental scene filled with ideas, perhaps to be picked up now...Oh, and you get an A5 photocopiedissue of the Purple Twilight fanzine from 1985!" --Juno Records (Best Reissues and Archival Releases)
