i remember in the late 80s that Adrian Sherwood was the Brian Eno of his day. I always loved the 'Pay it all back' comps, though some of it became horribly dated.
i haven't read reynolds latest book, but did On-u get a mention? I just read a review that commented on his ommiting Crass (fair enough), but Southern Studios and distribution had a HUGe part in alot of the On-u stuff that was TRES post-punk.
And Tackhead is still fucking excellent sounding to this day, in fact it's a great tonic to the done to death Timbaland trademark, and sounds better than alot of that grime/2step rubbish.
Maybe it's time the electronica nose-pickers start looking to Tackhead as a direction to take the whole dance/electronic thing outta its slump. That fantastic 'Tackhead: Live in new york' Cd is a good signpost of post-funk-hip-hop 'band' electro. It's funny coz I never really 'got' Tackhead until a few months ago, and they sound totally 'fresh' (to me) right now.
