An English duo active in the late seventies and most of the eighties, Renaldo and the Loaf consisted of an accountant and a pathologist who made music often considered strange.

By their own assertion, they achieved their unique sound in part by striving to get unnatural synthesizer sounds using only what instruments they had available (acoustic ones.) To that end they routinely used muffled and de-tuned instruments, and often to striking effect, tape loops / manipulation. The two released only three full length albums, though the intervening years have seen the release of a couple of demos as well. They also recorded Title in Limbo, an album with Ralph Records labelmate The Residents.
