V/A:Color Supplement, LP , UK ,1988


Here is an ultimate rare compilation of great and minimal synth and indie/psych groups, which saw the light for a little while and then it came very hard to find (few copies made). MODERN ART are pre - SUNDIAL (Gary Ramon, the mind of the group). They play very good psychy indie, proto-sounding of the great later Sundial psychedelic adventure. LIVES OF ANGELS needs no introduction: gods of minimal synth coldwave. Their tracks on this compilation are NOT on their Elevator to Eden LP, and they are even better!!! MYSTERY PLANE is a completely obscure minimal cold wave synth band; they appeared on another compilation, called Audiologie N. 4 - The Independant Psychedelic Trip (Arms Of Someone New, Ono, Pacific 231, Mystery Plane, Vox Populi, ecc.) and they seem to have done one only 4 tracks 12". WER7 sees involved Gary Ramon again. Incredible to hear him playing synth wave!! Released in 1988 on the Color label.

MODERN ART - "Golden Legend"
MODERN ART - "Forbidden Universe"
MODERN ART - "Cutting Water"
MYSTERY PLANE - "Snakebite"
