Tackhead Tape Time is the debut album by Tackhead. It was released in 1987 through Nettwerk Music Group.
Composition
Tackhead Tape Time is a "robotic" electro-funk album, containing abrasive beats, funky guitar, and instances of tape delay, which hint at the album's dub and reggae roots. The album also boasts spliced, sampled speeches and quotes from the likes of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, downbeat news reports, military officers and televangelists, among other sources.
