Butthole Surfers

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.

maybe this place wouldn`t suck if it was a butthole surfers forum

wowzers...didnt notice that before. chord progression is almost exact, but with some sort of synth strings.

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!

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.

the beck/bords of canada connection was better.

I think the intro to Orbital's "Satan" sounds alot more like that Butthole Surfers song.

Thank you, I'll be here all night

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.
