Composition
Tackhead Tape Time is a "robotic" electro-funk album,[2] containing abrasive beats,[3] funky guitar,[3] and instances of tape delay, which hint at the album's dub and reggae roots.[4] 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.[4][2]
