Colourbox - Best Of 82 87
Review by hill stations
The album Best Of 82-87 by Colourbox is a must-have for fans of the band and anyone who loves the post-punk and new wave scene of the 80s. Featuring a collection of their best tracks from the period, the album showcases the band's unique sound that blended elements of funk, dub, and electronic music.
The opening track "Say You" sets the tone for the album with its catchy beat and infectious melody. Other standout tracks include "The Moon is Blue", "Arena", and "Suspicion". The album also includes the classic hit "Pump Up the Volume", which was later remixed by M|A|R|R|S and became a massive dance hit.
Colourbox's music is characterized by its experimental approach, with the band using a variety of instruments and techniques to create their sound. The use of samples and electronic effects was innovative for its time and helped to define the sound of the era.

About Colourbox
Formed in 1982 by brothers Martyn and Steven Young, Colourbox drew on influences as varied as blues, soul, rock, dub and funk, they combined elements from each with movie dialogue and weird and wonderful samples.
Vocalist Debian Curry was recruited to sing on their 1982 4AD debut "Breakdown"; Currie was replaced by in 1983.
After releasing the mini-album Colourbox in 1983, they released a couple singles and began to work on their first full album, 'Colourbox', which garnered great reviews and topped the UK independent chart in 1985.
Colourbox's idiosyncratic approach to music left journalists struggling to pin down their identity; they deliberately stayed out of the spotlight and focused on refining their sound. Two singles followed in 1986; 'The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme' and a reworking of the track, 'Baby I Love You So'.
It was in 1987 that the Young brothers broke out of the indie charts as , with the genre-defining track, ''. A collaboration with , Chris and , the single went from underground club anthem to UK National No.1. 'Pump Up The Volume' marked the beginning of the sampling era.
Ian Robbins died in 2014. and Steven Young died on 13 July 2016.

I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND SONG.
After years of searching I found this song. I had it in a mix tape in heavy rotation in my car. Was this track used in a movie? I have no idea where I found it in the 80s but always loved it
I’ve been looking for this done for years. Reminds me of driving in a friends Mazda around Springwood. Thanks Stagg
After some culling, I think I finally have the almost-definitive list - I'm just missing the high-pitched "That ain't right!" at the very end.
"Let's hear some music!"
"Let's hear some music!"
Not surprised to read this was from 1986 the summer of 1986 it has that great uplifting 80s sound
This is an absolute tune dunno
Super!
This was the theme to my sports radio show in college. The South Side Sports Rap on WHPK Chicago, 88.5 FM!
I've been using it for my radio talk show on WUSB at Stony Brook University for close to 30 years.

I bought the single in 86, when it came out. Brilliant tune. It was a really good summer. I was 19 turning 20. All was good, until the hand of Maradona, cheating so and so!
Top stuff??
