dr papa Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Hmm....anyone else who notice a certain similarity? Maybe it´s just me, but there is a creepy, uncanny resemblance in the eyes and the diminishing hairline I remember reading in an old interview that Simon credited a fraction of his amazing talent to his granddad, who was a composer. So I guess this is where the "Posford touch" had its origins. The man in the first picture, George Posford, was indeed British. Having been born in 1906 makes him old enough to be Hallucinogen´s grampa. I wonder if old Posford´s music was just as twisted. Maybe Gamma Goblins was originally conceived back in the early 30s, played on cello After all, it IS best known as "Part 2"...

abasio Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Well they do both lean forward in that menacing way! Both look very british in a not very attractive kind of way but I think George has the better hair! Quote
TranceChick Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Nice piece of musical history there Doc. Thanks for sharing it! Quote
dr papa Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Nuts Dead link on the 2nd pic. Do a picture search on Google for "simon posford hallucinogen" - it´s the 2nd pic on the list from top left. The resemblance is striking. So you think George has the best hair, Abasio? Maybe we should do a poll... Quote
Drosophila Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 This has to be a relative..... u have found the seed doc! Quote
dr papa Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, well.... I´m an expert in.. Hallucinogenology Then again, it might be a crazy-ass coincidence Quote
TranceChick Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, well.... I´m an expert in.. Hallucinogenology Then again, it might be a crazy-ass coincidence Have you met radi yet? I thought he's the "expert" in Hallucinogenology. Quote
Drosophila Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Have you met radi yet? I thought he's the "expert" in Hallucinogenology. No he just pretends! But I wonder how we can find out if its true or not....? Somebody should email him and ask Quote
TranceChick Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 No he just pretends! But I wonder how we can find out if its true or not....? Somebody should email him and ask !!! Yeah.... somebody should.... Quote
dr papa Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Maybe I should listen to some of George Posford´s work... Maybe sonic similarities will appear. I doubt he was able to work with tweaking, plugins and DMT back then, but still... Quote
dr papa Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 OK....I put up a similar post on the Twisted website. Answer pending Quote
