All songs were written and produced by Butthole Surfers, except for "Kuntz", which was written by an uncredited Thai artist. The album was originally released as vinyl on Touch and Go, and was remastered to CD on Latino Buggerveil in 1999. ''Locust Abortion Technicians front cover illustration of two clowns playing with a dog was painted by Arthur Sarnoff, entitled "Fido and the Clowns". Kurt Cobain listed it in his top fifty albums of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=http://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/journal/top-50-by-nirvana/ )〕 It is also featured in Robert Dimsey's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. ==Music== Arguably Butthole Surfers' heaviest album, and without a doubt their darkest and most disturbing, ''Locust Abortion Technician'' is also considered by many critics and fans to be one of the band's best, harnessing aspects of punk, heavy metal, and psychedelia into a then-unique sound that could be considered noise rock. "Sweat Loaf" utilizes a warped riff similar to the verse riff from the Black Sabbath song "Sweet Leaf." Not all the tracks are guitar-oriented, though; the song "Kuntz" was created by processing an original Eastern recording by a Thai artist through Gibby Haynes' "Gibbytronix" system.〔(Ken Lieck, "Reissuing the Butthole Surfers," ''The Austin Chronicle'' Newspaper Vol. 18 Issue 52 )〕 This album marked the debut of bass player Jeff Pinkus, as well as the return of co-drummer Teresa Nervosa, who had left the band in December 1985.〔Michael Azerrad, ''Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991'' (New York, Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 2001) 303〕 It was also the first Surfers full-length album to feature lead singer Gibby Haynes' Gibbytronix vocal effects, which features on the songs "Sweat Loaf" and "Human Cannonball" (though Gibbytronix were employed on ''Comb'' on the ''Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis'' EP a year earlier). Many ''Locust Abortion Technician'' songs are recurring features of Butthole Surfers' live concerts, including "Sweat Loaf", "Graveyard", "Pittsburgh to Lebanon", "U.S.S.A.", "Kuntz", and "22 Going on 23". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Locust Abortion Technician」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
