Several noises would later appear in varying guises across many On U tracks particularly those of the Tackhead experimental spin-off Fats Comet. The answer was simple and an army of On U aficionados was slowly growing. Off The Beaten Track – 9/10. With Off The Beaten Track came a slight change of direction fuelled by meets with Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbush and Keith Leblanc as the African Head Charge sound took on a funk fuelled percussion driven angle. The new percussive side would meet with the approval of Bonjo and his wanting of ethnic chants.

Then I listen to Curlew or Fats Comet or Mute Beat or Version X and go back to my four-four. Thing is, the semipop action ought to be more than metaphorical; rock bricolage is too cerebral and reggae subtract-a-track too spacy to work that body
