Description
Following on from the superb and well-received first volume, we bring you a 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 came out on cassette micro-editions back in the day; then again, we’re also bringing you several previously unreleased selections too! 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 80’s UK cassette underground scene. Remastered from the original source tapes by Denis Blackham, this is a must-have for synth and cold wave collectors!
