There are also a coule albums by the Headhunters, apparently the backup
musicians from this time... I've seen one reissued, any opinions here?
Looks like vocals are evident (yikes!)

Yes, I guess there is one good track per ep/lp. I found "perfect machine"
a little uninspired. that is, one could easily save the $ for a rustier
gem like "autodrive" (that is theone I meant by "chameleon/whatever", the
GREEN one!!).
I only recommend the "Metal Beat" 12" because it has samples of Yes "Leave
It" from the same year and a good funk/industrial sound that is fun...
Above all, avoid the "Magic Hands" or whatever that one just before Future
Shock is... ugh! HH did some dull funk-pop stuff right before and after
Future Shock not for the weak or easily annoyed...
