Remember when all those 'Indie bands', like The Beloved, Primal Scream,Soup Dragons, Mock Turtles, and shit like that, turned Electro-Disco,or, 'Rave', overnight in 1988?...well the Color Tapes roster were doing that in the year of C86 (1986). Bands that were previously neo-psych VU wannabes, were now churning out minimal cold wave synth numbers. Mystery Plane were not excluded from this phase, as is evident on this retrospective compilation of their work up to 1986.
In fact when all those Madchester idiots were rattling their Tambourines, most of the Color Tape crew reverted to guitar based neo-psych, best represented by The Sun Dial's rather excellent output from 1989 onwards. Always do the antithesis of the accepted norms....and be careful what drugs you take.

Fantastic, thanks a ton!!!
Sold, thank you!
Very cool stuff, thank you.
Excellent! In a way my favorite from the Color Tapes stuff you've posted as it contains such a surprising variety of material - and the vocalist is something reeeally... don't know if I hate or love the vocals.
