v/a- COLD WAVE #1 2LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition Orange colour vinyl.

New collection of current electronic artists who have all been shaped by the early European cold wave artists of the late 70s and early 80s.

This is the first release of Soul Jazz Records’ new Cold Wave overview and a second volume was released just four weeks later. These first artists created new electronic musical landscapes as well as pursuing a stubborn D-I-Y aesthetic, often releasing material on cassette and pioneering use of lo-fi technology, primitive drum machines and home-recording techniques. All of the bands featured here make distinctive contemporary music out of the 80s roots of the first cold wave movement.
