SEVERED HEADS
The first of the two Severed Heads reissues is 1983's "Since The Accident". Severed Heads are one of the most diverse and expert sound palette engineers and are also repeatedly overlooked and far underrated. The group's early recordings were characterized by manipulated tape loop experiments, cleverly modulated noise elements and repetition. This period is very well suited to the early industrial period. Over time, the sounds morphed into more melodic leanings with pop elements and more prominent synth leads and backbone. "Since The Accident" was released in 1983 on UK Ink records. The LP exemplifies the transition point between experimental structure and loops into the catchy pop hooks that would later define such releases as "Rotund For Success". Difficult to classify, it is a masterpiece of electronic music. The opening track Relic Of The Empire is a slow sequenced magnificent piece with time-stretched samples overlaid with multiple tracks to create a symphony quite unlike anything heard before. The hit Dead Eyes Opened (charted in 1985 as a single) is a dance floor friendly track with crafted synth hooks fused with bursts of noise intertwining with interesting vocal samples. Gashing The Old Mae West is a perfect example of how the record can take a dark turn into the style of the earlier Sev Heads with jagged industrial crunched out tape loops and folding in and out samples. Though signed to 80's industrial label icon Nettwerk in North America and often classified in the same vein, these records are not easily definable and actually have a life of their own.
