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? SMO
