Various ‎Artists – "Purple Twilight" (Color Disc ‎– Colors 2) 1985



Despite 'Color' being a glaring spelling error, (The american spelling!), there are very few errors on any of their compilations.
Purple Twilight being one of them.Although the title would suggest that it may have been one of those Bam Caruso Brit-psych/Freakbeat compilations, if one didn't know better.
There are some Neo-Psych tracks within however, but scattered among the Minimal Synth, proto-Indie tchoons, and Cold wave classics.The Duke Of Disrespect also makes another, but welcome, appearance with the samplerdeclic non-hit hit, "You Tell Lies".
Experimental improv combo,'New 7th Music', featuring Paul Keldays brother ,Phil, also makes a very rare outing on vinyl.
A smogasbord of excellence.

Thanks again! Always a pleasure to find something new from you in my inbox (thanks to RSS).

To me, Mystery Plane is one of the most interesting and unique bands of the "good old time". Came across their cool "Curse Of The Bodysnatcher" as a 12" back then (1985, I think) but only recently discovered they did a lot of excellent stuff before (not everything is good, though).

The Ordinary seem are great, too. Just listening to their 27+ minutes long "New England" from around 1983, fantastic stuff:

Don't know why they eluded me before.

Maybe you have more by one of them?
