Mugsey Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Has anybody else noticed the similarity between 'Heard From The Telegraph Lines' and the opening track to the Butthole Surfers 'Locust Abortion Technician' LP. Not saying it's plagiarism by any means but it certainly sounds similar.
perunamuusi Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 maybe this place wouldn`t suck if it was a butthole surfers forum

pylonbitch Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 locust abortion technition is fucking awesome on acid.
Guest Moebius Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 DLP 6 preview from bleep Can't find any audio previews of Macq Ridge, sorry.
khov Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 even weirder than getting inspiration from the butthole surfers, from twoism forum: http://barneum.com/twoism/viewtopic.php?t=1017
chenGOD Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 locust abortion technition is fucking awesome on acid. the butthole surfers live iss fucking ridiculously awesome on acid. probably the best show I've ever seen.
Guest Strange Attractor Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 hey that is a little eerie... even eerier that this is on a butthole surfers album :laughing: i've been trying to pick what dlp6 on the distintergration loops reminded me of a while ago and i noticed it was a boards song too... in the background of 'macquarie ridge'. it's VERY similar... even more so than this. Holy sh*t! That is similar!
Guest all_purpose_sandpaper Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 butthole surfers have one of the greatest guitarists. their cover of hurdy gurdy man has the fattest riffs. heard through telegraph lines, i thought, may be a hand on a stick to Christ, the track has a similar garble to his stuff from pylonesque, and the telegraph reference. there is this dinosaur jr. album, "your living all over me" that i found similar to my bloody valentine, so therefore it is similar to boc. there is a tapey freakout track on there.
springymajig Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 I think the intro to Orbital's "Satan" sounds alot more like that Butthole Surfers song. *bows* Thank you, I'll be here all night
Guest Moebius Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 but yeah, it's almost like they built a new song around that little passage... it's almost too similar and i'm pretty sure they must've heard the disintergration loop series. Boards of Canada are definately aware of DLP, they commented on it directly in the Wire Magazine interview.
