Composition

[edit | edit source]

Tackhead Tape Time is a "robotic" electro-funk album,[3] containing abrasive beats,[4] funky guitar,[4] and instances of tape delay, which hint at the album's dub and reggae roots.[5] The album also boasts spliced, sampled speeches and quotes from the likes of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, downbeat news reports, military officers and televangelists, among other sources.[5][3]
