colourbox

colourbox were an english electronic musical group on the 4ad label , releasing a number of records between 1982 and 1987 .
the band was formed by brothers martyn and steve young , along with guest singers , until lorita grahame joined as a permanent member in 1983 .
colourbox stood apart from their then-4ad labelmates - bands such as dead can dance , cocteau twins , and this mortal coil -lrb- although the young brothers contributed to tracks on the latter project 's first two albums `` it 'll end in tears '' and `` filigree & shadow '' -rrb- .
their sound was eclectic , drawing from reggae and soul influences -lrb- with covers of tracks by u-roy and augustus pablo released as singles -rrb- , beat-box driven hip-hop rhythms , blue-eyed soul , as well as a fusion of far-ranging influences spanning from classic r&b , to dub and industrial .
