Just some random thought but they may have took their name from this little FELD HELL machine, its a decoder for HELL60 transmissions and stuff like that, on the front panel is written "Hell Interface"

Can be seen on this informative page.

That's great! I had prepared myself for disappointing based on the intriguing title, expecting it to be something like "I wonder how they chose that name?"

Awesome find!

I think a lot of us already figure they have a deep interest in messing with radio equipment, so this really seems to be a safe bet as to the name origin. I love the description of Example 2:

Code: Select all

Example 2 is with a lot of fast QSB and gives a good impression about reception of HELL signals under various conditions.
I have a friend who is an old timer (in his 80s) who has been a radio enthusiast for his whole life. He has well over a dozen towers of different shapes and sizes along with a ton of equipment. He doesn't use it anymore in his old age. I may ask him if he'd like to sell any of it. I wonder what I could get done without a huge tower. I also wonder what of the equipment I could use for effects or sounds in my music.

I'm also now wondering if and where there may be Morse Code in BoC's music. The spacing in percussion, synth jabs or cut up voices, etc...

Great find!

Makes me glad it’s not some satanic origin

Was really hoping the Bros weren’t actually satanic and geogaddi is just to mess with people’s heads as it appears they pulled off

The outro of Slow This Bird Down is an obvious place..

Geogaddi could amost be considered a Christian album in many ways, but that is my personal opinion. A preacher who describes hell in detail is not of Satan.

I am convinced that the beginning of Reach for the Dead has morse code in the static. “Listen” and you may hear it too.

Do the words Silicon Filter Grail mean anything in this context?

Don't think so. its just an anagram of "I'll finger a clitoris" it originated on the hell interface Last.fm a decade ago.

Last.fm being a non reliable source in anything :P
