Full Descriptionthe closing "22 Going on 23," which happily and intrepidly pushes the limits of offensive subject matter. Though some Surfers diehards (particularly those frightened by this record's surely Gacy-inspired clown face cover) favor the group's earlier work, most fans will attest to the bizarre majesty of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN.
Although the Surfers aren't afraid to offer up a fairly straightforward punk song (the rocked-out "Human Cannonball" hints at their future accessibility), these mad sonic scientists seem most comfortable making listeners uncomfortable, as on the closing "22 Going on 23," which happily and intrepidly pushes the limits of offensive subject matter. Though some Surfers diehards (particularly those frightened by this record's surely Gacy-inspired clown face cover) favor the group's even earlier work, most fans will attest to the bizarre majesty of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN.
Widely considered to be the Butthole Surfers' crowning achievement, 1987's LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN plays to the Texas acid-rock band's strengths, unveiling one twisted tune after another. The album begins with "Sweat Loaf," the group's skewering of (and/or tribute to) Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf," and then moves on to the sinister, lumbering "Graveyard." As always, the gleefully subversive ensemble's calling cards are Paul Leary's blistering guitar lines and Gibby Haynes's maniacal yelping and distorted crooning.
Butthole Surfers: Gibby Haynes (vocals); Paul Leary (guitar); Jeff Pinker (bass); King Koffey (drums).
Uncut (p.84) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[P]robably the Buttholes' finest work....They're best remembered as purveyors of the best sort of '70s excess."
Uncut (8/01, p.114) - "...The Buttholes were never quite this strange again..."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.83) - Ranked #28 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN....represents the Buttholes at their most deliberately focused, confrontational, and downright evil..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.76) - Ranked #48 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums".
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.115) - "...This is a genius-flecked bad trip through a senseless world....The best recorded representation of their oeuvre, teetering between celebration of and revulsion at the sickness endemic in American society..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.52) - Ranked #5 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "[O]ne of the most unsettling records of all time."

From its bizarre cover art to its absurd title to its gleefully chaotic and thematically offensive songs, the Butthole Surfers' 1985 full-length debut, PSYCHIC...POWERLESS...ANOTHER MAN'S SAC, perfectly exemplifies the Texas-spawned ensemble's twisted, ungodly aesthetic. On this wildly unhinged ...

Locust Abortion Technician music CDs
$13.15  
Devoted Butthole Surfers fans will argue the relative merits of the band's early albums, but all seem to be in agreement on the brilliance of HAIRWAY TO STEVEN. The album combines the sometimes harrowing freakishness of their debut and the sonic experimentation of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN with a glimpse of the accessibility that crept into their 1990s albums.
Still, HAIRWAY is vintage Surfers, a nearly overwhelming ...
| | Richard Hell Blank Generation CD (1977)
Locust Abortion Technician songs
$9.95
Richard Hell And The Voidoids: Richard Hell (vocals, electric bass); Robert Quine, Ivan Julian (electric guitar, background vocals); Marc Bell (drums).
BLANK GENERATION is now widely regarded as one of the seminal points in the punk explosion, along with the Sex Pistols' NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERE'S THE SEX PISTOLS and The Ramones debut. It is a startling, urgent record filled with the pent-up frustration and nihilistic despair that earmarked the potency of the late '70s punk movement. Former Television member Hell, however, was considerably more well read than the bulk of his punk counterparts, a circumstance that ups the ante on BLANK GENERATION.
The title track has become one of punk's signature tunes, and it certainly seems to embody the entire spirit of the movement in one fell swoop. Although Hell has repeatedly insisted that the title refers to "blank" as in "fill in ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Locust Abortion Technician album
$6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's ...

| | Full Custom Gospel Sounds Of Reverend Horton Heat CD (1993)
Locust Abortion Technician music CDs
$10.15
When the Reverend Horton Heat returned with a sophomore album, he had fellow manic Texan Gibby Haynes (of Butthole Surfers fame) riding the production board. Recorded in Memphis's Ardent Studios, GOSPEL SOUNDS is yet another rabble-rousing batch of slap bass, breakneck-speed guitar, and the raspy singing of the good Reverend Heat (Jim Heath).
When Heat isn't whooping it up with the lascivious "Wiggle Stick," he's putting on a nimble display of fingerpicking on the instrumental "Beer: 30." Unfettered garage rock is furiously delivered on such ...
