I know I am probably wrong, since I usually think I have identified sounds
and am completely incorrect, but would anyone agree that the growl appearing
on "Pete standing alone" by BOC could have been lifted from the voice of the
alien in the shop section of the classic Amiga blaster Xenon II?
In a similar vein, the clunks of "Space Love" by Leila sound very
reminiscent of "The Dancers End Engine" at Kew Bridge Engines Works (now
steam museum) in London (
http://www.kbsm.org/engines/index.htm). I have not
been there since my youth, and am probably completely wrong, however.
There are many similar sounds I claim to have identified in my head that I
cannot remember at present, but if it would not bore people too much, I
would be quite interested in a compilation of similar impossible-to-prove
(making it much more fun) audio references proposed by members of this
list. I am an incredibly anal person, and like this kind of thing. I
like thinking 'oh yeah' when someone tells me something sounds like
something else, is all.
So:
1) Growling sound, Pete Standing Alone, MHTRTC, Boards of Canada
- Xenon II shop alien
2) Clunks, Space Love, Like Weather, Leila
- The Dancers End Engine, Kew Bridge Steam Museum
- The Triple Expansion Engine, Kew Bridge Steam Museum
If you can think of better suggestions of the above, please ammend.
Alternatively, add your own. Isn't this fun?
If I have opened a can of worms to a incredibly bad idea that has gone awol
in the past, then I apologise.
Thanks,
Tom.
