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]
