Cold Waves of Color Volume 4

Fourth volume of the electronic compilation series of tracks from the 1980's Color Tapes label—some released here for the first time! An essential document from the 80's UK cassette underground scene. The majority of tracks from these UK garage cold wave bands used synthesizer, drum machines and sequencers such as EMS VCS3, Minimoog, Korg MS-20, Roland Juno 6, SH-09, TR-808, all playing a crucial part in the development of electronic music in the UK. As with the other volumes in this popular series, 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 a fat booklet which is a full color reprint reproduction of issue three of Color Tapes' own in house "Purple Twilight" fanzine from 1985 that features articles on Insane Music, Space Brothers and Lives Of Angels. This CD edition of "Cold Waves of Color 4" comes with two bonus tracks not on the vinyl version!
