		Colourbox emerged from the diverse mix of musical cultures that formed the post-punk era, inevitably incorporating synthpop, indie, reggae and funk.
		M/A/R/R/S, an acronym for the members of Colourbox and AR Kane, was the brainchild of Ivo Watts-Russell.
		With a typical indifference towards stardom, Colourbox refused to perform what was not just their first number one but their first hit of any kind on the weekly UK chart show, Top Of The Pops.

	PAST ARCHIVES Colourbox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Colourbox are one of the unsung, forgotten heroes of alternative music.
		They may have released only one-and-a-half eponymous albums and a string of tragically underappreciated singles during their brief lifespan, but the remnants of what they bequeathed are still being picked over and woven into the rich tapestry of popular music today.
		Given how slender the Colourbox discography is, it seems perverse to offer up a so-called "Best Of" that doesn't even scrape past the 50 minute barrier when two plumply-packed discs could tell you practically everything you could ever wish to know about the band.

	Colourbox - Best Of 82/87
		Although not a major success in their own right, Colourbox were one of the most original dance acts of their time.
		Kicking off with 'The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme' from 1986 they can claim to tbe the first band (ahead of New Order) for penning a credible football tune; admittedly it sounds a little tacky now but this instrumental is oddly infectious.
		Nevertheless dance is generally the most transient musical genre and Colourbox at their best have proved to be as influential as they initially promised.

	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"; Curry was replaced by Lorita Grahame in time for the trio's 1983 re-recording of the same track.
		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.

		Colourbox was primarily the work of London-based brothers Martyn and Steven Young, who recruited vocalist Debian Curry to sing on their 1982 4AD debut "Breakdown"; Curry was replaced by Lorita Grahame in time for the trio's 1983 re-recording of the same track, this time produced by Mick Glossop.
		Colourbox's self-titled debut EP -- a collection of dub and scratching experiments heralding their first plunge into sampling technology, edited down from three hours of studio sessions -- appeared later that same year, with the single "Say You" following in 1984.
		Complete with scratches by champion mixer Chris "C.J." Mackintosh and London DJ Dave Dorrell, "Pump Up the Volume" -- a breakthrough effort heralding sampling's gradual absorption from hip hop into dance music and ultimately the pop mainstream -- soon topped the British charts, the first 4AD release to accomplish the feat.

		I have several Colourbox stories to tell, most revolving around the fact that they made some of the very finest techno Pop masterpieces ever in the 1980s.
		Sticking Colourbox right in the car stereo and falling in love every last one of the four of us as we drove through the early evening to campsite perched a hundred feet above Mauchlin gorge in godforsaken Ayrshire wilds of nowhere.
		And when I made a tape for HM later in the evening I stuck 'Reward' on right after 'The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme', and it was some holy sounding double act, let me tell you.

		Influenced by scratch/rap records from New York and spaghetti westerns from their TV set, Martyn and Steven explored the possibilities of the recording studio with Lorita adding her classy vocals to the group's debut album "Colourbox".
		Colourbox were known for their willingness to explore new ideas and the ability to charge off in all directions at once.
		The last official Colourbox recording was "Hot Doggie", a brash and fiesty song included on the 1987 4AD label sampler "Lonely Is An Eyesore" (GAD 703 CD, and video cassette VAD 703).

	The Stypod » Colourbox
		Working with pop as their canvas, Colourbox’s Martyn and Steve Young spent way too long tooling with a few singles before recruiting vocalist Lorita Grahame in 1983, and recorded their self-titled debut two years later.
		The track proves the perfect showcase for Colourbox’s fearless sampling which is packed neatly between manic everything: stamping synths, robot manifestos, and a ‘phetamined drum machine (if Manny Phresh grew up in the Village).
		Even after the track’s unprecedented success, Colourbox disappeared from the music industry, leaving behind one incredible album and haunting listeners for years to come with the specters of Ibiza techno.

		Colourbox are a fave 4AD group to me and even though there will never be another record from them, I dream of how it would sound.
		Ian seems confident that the single shoud have been credited to Colourbox, citing how C.J. and Dave went on to greater successes due to the popularity of the single.
		He remembers it being a very dark period for Colourbox, 4AD and AR Kane, with all the relationship-sapping legal difficulties surrounding the out-of-the-blue worldwide hit single.

	Best of Colourbox: 1982-1987 - Colourbox - Similar Albums
		Seeing that Colourbox had a short-lived career and one major album, a greatest hits effort -- Best of Colourbox: 1982-1987 -- is a bit questionable.
		One can listen to their 1985 self-titled debut and enjoy their sassy dance tracks just the same, but this collection does include some off-the-wall...
		This compilation is decent, but surely not bold enough to capture Colourbox's animated cult success.

	Colourbox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Over half a decade in the mid '80s, Colourbox was one of the many innovative dance groups to create the fiendishly catchy synthetic music remembered with sentimental fondness by those who grew up during the decade and enjoyed today at maximum decibel level at gay clubs across the land.
		Led by brothers Martyn and Steve Young, the London-based group tapped the sampling and scratching techniques which had previously been the exclusive domain of hip hop artists and the futuristic keyboard sound of electronic dance music, and fused them with rock, soul, and all-around sonic mischief-making.
		But despite the success of that track (which reached Number 1 in the U.K.), neither Colourbox nor M/A/R/R/S released any additional material.
