Marc Heal was the driving force behind Cubanate, one of the more striking and energetic Coldwave bands of the mid-90's. Heal also collaborated with members of Front 242 on a two album side project called C-Tec, as well as his own Ashtrayhead persona. Heal clocked up numerous production and performance credits with acts such as Pigface, Cobalt 60 and Raging Speedhorn and games soundtracks for Mortal Kombat 2 and Gran Turismo.
