They're good.

They're line-up changes with the weather.


I have a compilation tape made by a friend, it contains:

	Mind at the end of the tether
	Half cut again
	Reality
	M.O.V.E.
	Hard left		(my fave)
	Get this
	Man in a suitcase
	What's my mission now?
	The game
	Forbidden dub


That's about all I know!

592.2I wanna be an Airborne RangerFSEDU::MEGANFri Feb 16 1990 01:3216
    I heard a song by them called "Airborne Ranger" the other day, loved
    it!!!!
    
    I thought I miss heard the band name by the DJ, so I never followed
    it up.
    
    Does anyone know where they are from? Any other info would be good
    to know. I wouldn't mind buying this record/cd but imports are hard
    (and expensive) to get here. If anyone knows the label they record
    on, please tell.
    
    Re: .2 How would you classify the other music you've heard? Airborne
    Ranger sounded like lots of danceable noise, with heaps of breaks
    in the flow of the music.

Their noise  is definitely loud and danceable with an industrial/avant-noise
edge (no flames please!) Lotsa sampling etc.

592.4Strange name isn't it ?ESASE::SOCONNORStephen O'Tue Feb 20 1990 21:528
I saw the band on day one at Reading in August and for me they were definitely
a highlight, though I haven't seen any reviews/mentions of them since. 
"danceable with an industrial/avant-noise edge (no flames please!) Lotsa
sampling etc."  is a pretty good description, but the musicianship is excellent 
( I thought the drummer was incredibly good )
Strange name though.....

    One band with something for everyone...  The first album is not really
    a TACK>>HEAD record but Gary Clail, who decided to make things
    easier by changing the name of his outfit from TACK>>HEAD SOOUND SYSTEM
    to the On-U Sound system. (He used TACK>>HEAD out takes and mixes them up.)
    
    There is also the Barmy Army which is just about TACK>>HEAD but not quite
    (English Disease .. Great Record).
    
    Keith LeBlanc release the first record Major Malfunction which also has
    most of the TACK>>HEAD members.
    
    The only real TACK>>HEAD record is AS FRIENDLY AS A HAND GRENADE 
    
    I've seen TACK>>HEAD once and was deaf for three days... And Gray Clail
    twice not quit as loud but a great show.
    
    There is also another guy I think its DAVE STEWART who also uses the
    TACK>>HEAD band for the music.
    
    Well worth paying the money for and make sure the volume is full.

I reckon I've seen various bands from the On-U-Sound label about six times,
including Mark Stewart & the Mafia (saw Roland Gift in the audience),
African Headcharge, TackHead, Gary Clail and others.

Really, being at a TackHead cocert is the nearest I've ever come to being in
a pit surrounded by hundreds of writhing snakes. Talk about hittin' the groove!
Wow! Pretty smokey too, the strange smelling kind. BTW for anyone residing in
Galway, I have most all of the TackHead records released, if you want a loan of
any. Well, you'll be a long time waiting for Star Records of Shop Street to
stock them. Even have a little TackHead baseball cap... but my fave cap is my
KRS-1, UK Tour 89.

    Well I would never have though they day would arrive that Gary Clail
    would be on Top of the Pops.
