4AD to reissue complete works of Colourbox




I was chuffed to learn this morning that 4AD would be releasing a 4-CD box set of the complete recorded works of Colourbox. This duo released some interesting records in the early 1980s, and went on to become part of M/A/R/R/S, a one-off collaboration with AR Kane that resulted in the seminal 80s hit, "Pump Up The Volume."

Here is their song, "Tarantula," and below, the track listing:
