Limited vinyl LP pressing. 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. 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. Beatmixer - Danse Electrique, Silicon Valley - Going Out, Berserk in a Hayfield - Start of Something, Disintegrators - Transmissions Unknown, Silicon Valley - ZX, Wer7 - Word Perfect (Edit), Mystery Plane - I'll Get You for This, Echophase - Train, Berserk in a Hayfield - Optical, (Trying to Find) the Hidden World, Lives of Angels - Gateway, Beatmixer - the Beatmixer
