 A dead faithful go-to for vintage wave compilations in recent years, Color Tapes’
 Cold Waves Of Color Volume 5 extends the cherry-picked selections of minimal and new
 wave with 11 more aces from the likes of Beserk In A Hayfield, Modern Art (Gary
 Ramon), Lives of Angels and Silicon Valley, and including a natty rarity by The Good
 Missionaries, post Alternative TV. All material this time spans 1981-1985 and all
 makes first appearance on vinyl.

 As with previous instalments, Volume 5 impresses with its depth and quality of
 variety, sequencing crisp electronic dance tracks on the same page as grainy, melodic
 synth-pop and hard-working dubs in a way that makes total sense as both a historic
 education as well as a heavily satisfying, play-it-again record.

 On the front they add up Void’s punchy, bittersweet minimal wave jabber Isotope
 beside the soaring, romantic ‘tronics of Silent Sky by Echophase and the supple swang
 of Beserk In A Hayfield, leading up to some real gems in The Lord’s warped chromatic
 wormhole Production Line, and especially The Good Missionaries brooding beauty
 Bending A Border [1981] which is pretty unmissable for fans of PiL or Officer!.

 Flip over for more treats in the fluidly Chris Carter-esque electro dynamics of
 Continental Shift by Echophase, a New Order-y turn from Lives of Angels, and the
 dubbed-out NRG-disco deviation of Gary Ramon’s own Modern Art ace, Colliding World.
