    I don’t always listen to Severed Heads, but when I do - so do my neighbors.

    I would consider Thomas T Ellard to be the most prolific pioneering electronic composer in Australian History.

    As a 20-year old, it’s insane to me that music and visuals like these could be created in the 80s, these people were incredible visionaries

    1986 , Wish I was there. I was 15 and managed to get my hands on a half pint of Golden Grain and almost set myself on fire listening to the music and smoking cigarettes... But I am Good, I am 52 years old now...

    I discovered these guys on Brave New Waves in the mid-80's. It was a great program late at night on CBC radio, Brent Bambury introduced me to the most amazing music ever. These guys being one of the highlights. The schools I went to were heavy metal, and there were so many people playing it loudly on their ghettoblasters. It wasn't my type of music at the time (I've since gained an appreciation), but this stuff really went to my core. They were making stuff from scratch, they didn't really sound like anyone else, they had no formula to follow. Their legacy is amazing, the music and the addition of the visuals was incredible. A side I never got to appreciate as I never saw them in concert, sadly. Love the music!

    Its great to see this after so many Years. I was on their Gig in Bochum, Germany in 1986. The Line up was Ah;Grumh, Severed Heads and Skinny Puppy. The Audience was all dressed in black, with the only exception of my girlfriend in green violet and yellow. I loved and still love the Detail and Density of their Sample Layering Sound but never got used to Tom Ellards singing. Nevertheless, they saved the 80s for me and i still have a lot of their vinyl cds and cdroms. Thx for the Upload!

    This episode of RA is what got me into Severed Heads. I bought everything they put out after this, and I finally got to see them play at Le Rox in Adelaide a couple of years later. Went for a wiz before the show, standing alone at the wall of steel and who walks in, but one Mr Ellard. He's humming to himself, and mid-stream breaks into this "wop-a-bop-bop:" thing. I dare not look up, I mean, this guy is one of my heroes. Suffice to say, the opportunity to shake hands and say "love your work, Tom", was lost among the toilet lollies forever.

    in early 90s volition did a record store promo where you could buy a severed heads, scattered order, boxcar & single gun theory album for twenty bucks each. put the lot on layby at myers... took ages, but man was it worth it.

      So cool. Had a Volition-only Greater Reward single, different tracks from the rest of the world. (The pink one, not the non-Australian red one). Lost it to a fire, but what great music.

    Thanks for posting! I loves me some Sevs! When I first heard of Tom Ellard, he had been around for several years. He was doing his most commercially accessible music, such as this stuff, back in '86/'87. It's right about then I discovered Sevs. Been a fan for 35 years!

      Actually I got this like 2 years ago on archive.org but one of my friends sent me If I Told You Once as a DVD rip. What you should do to get really good digital tapes is hook your vcr up to your DVD recorder and record your vhs with it and it isn’t compressed so it’ll look fantastic

    I will thank my uncle for blithely dismissing the band as "music for butch lesbians" because as an 11 year old kid who had only heard Dead Eyes Opened, it just made me more interested to listen to the band.
