Description
Cold Wave of Color (CWOC) series
•Early rare “cold wave” electronic music from the UK, early 1980’s, from the COLOR TAPES label
Essential documents 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. In all of the 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.
