A superb 4 CD box set of all released Colourbox studio recordings and mixes, sequenced by Martyn Young. Dance pioneers in the pre-sampling era, they created an eclectic body of work.
Colourbox emerged from the diverse mix of musical cultures that formed the post-punk era, inevitably incorporating synthpop, indie, reggae, dub, soul and funk. They were dance pioneers in the pre-sampling era, and from 1982 to 1986 they created an eclectic body of work incorporating their influences but imploded after the collaboration as M/A/R/R/S, on Pump Up The Volume, went to No.1.
To celebrate their 30th anniversary 4AD finally release the ultimate Colourbox compilation. Entitled simply Colourbox (and why not? - the other albums are!) it is a 4 CD box set of all their released studio recordings and mixes which has been sequenced by Martyn Young.
