艺人介绍

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

By the summer of 1983, the Fun Boy Three were peaking in popularity and Terry Hall disbanded the group. Hooking up with ex-Swinging Cats members Toby Lyons and Karl Shale, Hall moved to Manchester and formed the Colourfield, a more lush and melodic outfit than the Fun Boy Three. In January of 1984, the band released their first single, The Colourfield, which just missed the Top 40. It was followed later that summer with Take, which didnt even come close to the Top 40. The Colourfield had its first hit in January of 1985, when Thinking of You reached number 12. It was followed by Castles in the Air, another failed single that preceded the release of their debut album, Virgins and Philistines, by just a few weeks. Like the bands singles, Virgins and Philistines failed to gain a large audience for the Colourfield. The band released a second album, Deception, in the spring of 1987. During the sessions, Lyons left the band, leaving Hall to finish the album by himself; to complete the album, Hall hired Raquel Welchs band.
