There was Kraftwerk and then ...Severed Heads

"This is one of the best Sevs albums but that is a hard call with Gigapus, the Laptop Pop Series and Haul Ass also excellent. Tom Ellard, who is Severed Heads, has developed a unique sound since he produced the late 70s early 80s set of casettes under the Terse Tapes moniker. The hightlight for me is the Bad Times Three track included on some versions of this release. It makes you wish there really was a volume 11 on your stereo. Big Car, Greater Reward, Triangle Tangle Tango (try saying that fast) are all wonderful. The first two are remixed on "Retread". Start here and then get all the rest. And don't forget to check out the weird and wonderful Coklacoma featuring Ellard and Fifth Way Militia from Utah. Truly unique and original music. An extraordinary "band" with an equally extraordinary catalogue of music. There are maybe a dozen bands in the whole world who sound like no-one else. This is one of them."

Great lasting songs

"Easily Severed Heads most accessible work, this album actually sounds quite pop-ish, until you listen closer and note how twisted things still are at heart. Still probably the most listenable Severed Heads album :)."
