As an Aussie and a big fan of most of these acts (esp SH and CV) it is 
great to see Severed Heads mentioned on an international list.

One of the Cab's even lives in perth now (which is on the west coast of 
australia)

hey here's a question:

"hot on the heals of love" by Throbbing Gristle from 1981 - what gear 
was used for the drums and acid line and lead melody synth?

its too early for 808, 101 and 303 gear - who knows what they used...? 
(this is not a contest - i DON'T know the answer)

now TG was a band who knew about trance (and i mean 
psycho-/physio-logical trance here)

but i mean using trance as a part of ritual for self discovery, often 
involving body-modification and usually live on-stage

anyway, interested to know what gear they used if anyone has any 
ideas....

thanks

I'M DYING TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pps anyone keen on earlier severed heads tracks could do worse than 
track down work by Garry Bradbury - one of the original members who has 
put out a solo album called Ruffini Corpuscle on the label synthi100f
