The first collaboration between Mannequin and Anna Logue Records is the highly anticipated release from the top-notch Minimal Electro Wave band Chromagain, hailing from Torino, Italy. Limited edition of 500 copies
Includes their ultra rare and sought-after Mini-LP “Any Colour You Like” from 1985 (originally released for the cult italian wave label Supporti Fonografici, home of Weimar Gesang), the song “Ethnicbox” from the “Tracce” LP compilation plus four additional unreleased earlier tracks on the vinyl version, and a total of nine additional tracks on the CD version.
And all those tracks are nothing but amazing, with a more raw edge (wonderful Roland TR-808 drum machine action!) and also showing their (post-)electro-punk roots on their earliest tracks!
Electronic wave, with some debt to New Order's ‘Movement’ and ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’, but also highly original, the tracks are assembling an out of the blue mix between dark and mournful ballads and outbursts of joy for cutting-edge dancefloors.
