I'd recommend tracking down "Tackhead Tape Time" by Tackhead, this is
classic LeBlanc with Doug Wimbish on bass, Skip McDonald on guitar and
Adrian Sherwood producing. My copy is on Volition, an Australian label
(home of Severed Heads), but I think it was also released on Nettwerk.
It features the early Tackhead and Gary Clail singles and uses many of
the sounds/samples featured on the first two LeBlanc albums.
I also love the Mark Stewart album (Mute records STUMM43) again featuring
LeBlanc/Wimbish/McDonald/Sherwood with Mark Stewart who was once in the
Pop Group. This is almost a covers album featuring extremely mutated
versions of Donna Summers' "I Feel Love" ("Fatal Attraction"), Ryuichi
Sakamoto's "Forbidden Colors" and Eric Saties "3 Gymopeides"("Stranger").
I lost touch with the work of these guys around 1990 as I wasn't very
impressed with their output at the time. I think Keith LeBlanc started
recording as DJ Spike and possibly had his own record label - can anyone
confirm this?
