Gigapus rocks! :)
Honestly I have been a severed heads freak from around 'come visit
the big bigot', and while i do agree that for a first time listener coming
in near the more recent stuff my be a bit odd, I still believe that it still
has the same 'sound' and vision that all of the older stuff does. (in much
the same way that Richard H. kirk is still (iMo) making the same type of
tracks he was backin the day with Cabaret Voltaire, just with different
equipment). For me tracks like Arrivederci Coma and Snow off of Gigapus have
the same feel and groove (albiet not the same sound) to them that 'Harold
and Cindy hospital' and 'Petrol' did back when i first heard them. In my
opinion Ellard is a Genius. But i may throw that term around too much.

Early severed heads ("clifford darling") is classic cut up tape collage
with a few electronic tunes in there. I have this as a 2xLP I found for
something ridiculously cheap years ago ($7 or something) and it really
turned me on to them.
Other severed heads quality varies, mostly they veer on the poppy side of
experimental. Listening to them in 2000, you might think of them as a
little too cheesy. definitely listen before you buy. They've been around
since what, 1977(?) so there's a lot out there if you're interested in
them.
Oh, and "Gigapus" is unlistenable.
