The late Errol Pumpkin Bedward was a legendary multi-instrument arranger (best known as a drummer) behind a lot of records on Enjoy, Profile and Tuff City, and, most famously, performed the disco-skip on Spoonie Gee's Love Rap. Incredible funk back tracks, each one unique--unlike other bands at the time ('79, '80, '81, etc.) whose tracks are so infectious. He was also a drum machine innovator, recognized as king of the beats before Mantronik. One of Pumpkin's nastiest pieces is the instrumental B-side to Fantasy Three's Biters in The City, which, with its haunting Vocoder drone is anything but instrumental. They also use a flanged-type vocoder effect later on the instrumental.
