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.
CD1 is the 1985 album, Colourbox, and includes all the tracks from the free album that was included with the original 10,000 LPs. The second disc is the 7" singles and the third is the 12" mixes.
