Game for audiophiles: Identify this band: - Page 4

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 05:37

Yours is the well-known band Dusseldorf.

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 07:25

Kraftwerk? Nah. That was the very first pic/band in the thread.
No repeats here.

Oh c'mon guys, ffs

Nah, Kraftwerk came a couple of years after this band
and didn't really start to properly influence the electronic music scene until about 71/72.

Well, you've all heard of this band, very famous, album/soundtrack-wise
(like 100's of them)

Fruit-colored vision

So spaceplay, is it really La Dusseldorf?
As in the Krautrock band from the mid 70's to early 80's.
Not heavily familiar with their stuff,
though more familiar with Neu! (Klaus Dinger being the connection).
Funnily enough, Klaus Dinger also played on Kraftwerk's first album.
Hmm, so did Michael Rother (Neu!). Was he also in La Dusseldorf?

I know two of their tracks, Silver Cloud & Rheinita
and I think I've got a couple of albums on tape somewhere.
Heh, my monster cassette collection's been boxed up for 2+ years.

Hmm, but your clue says that this band just 'played in a major city in Germany and named the album likewise', which doesn't suggest that the band are actually named after a German city . . . or does it? lol

Basically, I wasn't asking for a cryptic clue.

(although, that's what I've ended up doing above, to make it too damn obvious).

But yeah, their first album was also called La Dusseldorf, so, umm, yeah.

Can't find any pictures on the net similar to the one you posted though....
Can't even find an official website.

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 07:36

@Egg - Tangerine Dream

I knew it all along, I was just milking it.

Incidentally, this thread's steering a prog-rock course. I have some such bands.

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 08:05

Hmm, unless it's all Cylob's fault

and it's actually...

Barclay James Harvest

and you were referring to their "Berlin - A Concert For The People" album

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 08:18

Yeah Cylob yeah, lol

But was everyone else just "milking it" as well?

Tangerine Dream

I've just been listening to their latest stuff
(which incidentally starts autoplaying as soon as the page opens).
Not as good as some of their earlier stuff, but still pretty damn hefty.

As for your pic, hmm, they look very glam
and again, I recognize the faces, and that beard
but alas, no name . . . just yet.
Give me a while and I might get it.

Actually, I think it'd be good if we also provided a clue with each pic.
eg. the first clue should be pretty tough/obscure
and get progressively easier/more revealing with each wrong guess.

yay/nay/maybe?

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 09:04

yay! to that.

Tangerine Dream are on my 'discographies to-do' list. However, 'seer informs me they've done like..... shitloads of albums.

A clue with my pic..... the futuristic artwork on their albums is done by Rodney Matthews.

NJK · 7th January 2004, 09:49

the rodney matthews part gave it away

a freebee - the band is magnum

right or not??

well here is another one from me

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 10:06

Correct old fruit.

BTW, where is your clue?? Read 3 posts up, last paragraph...

NJK · 7th January 2004, 10:13

alright - read half the post egg made

no questions asked

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 10:53

This will sound really daft, but how are you people attaching pics? What's the code?

NJK · 7th January 2004, 10:58

no code use the post a reply button and scroll down there should be something like a box and a button behind it to search your system for files to make the attachment
( don't use the quick reply box)

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 11:10

So, I was right with Barclay James Harvest then?
Knew it couldn't be La Dusseldorf, lol.

and is "no questions asked" your clue?

Man, he's wearing shades . . .
hmmm . . . it looks like McGuyver, the dude from Stargate

*cough* next clue please

NJK · 7th January 2004, 11:16

yes dj egg "no questions asked" is indeed the clue

and yes you were right on the barclay part.
berlin ( a concert for the people)

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 12:19

Pure guess:

Jon Hassell

*wrong*

next clue please

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 12:33

Yes, another clue!!! You should've called the jpeg something cryptic...

The office concensus is he's a bass player.

I know, ridiculous.

NJK · 7th January 2004, 13:39

the question not to ask has to do with religion and is his most known hit single

NJK · 7th January 2004, 19:53

oh come on guys it isn't that difficult - taken in account there is a rumour about the band!!!!!

ScorLibran · 7th January 2004, 20:03

I have no idea who that is in spaceplay's pic. And I'll kick myself if it's someone I should know.

Here's one that should be pretty easy...

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 20:08

Frank Zappa and the Mothers (perchance)?

Nope.

NJK · 7th January 2004, 20:17

how about a clue if you read the post made by dj egg we kinda made an agreement on posting a clue with the pic and every time someone gives it a shot and missed you add another clue

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 20:20

Graham Parker

(GP & the Rumour - Hey Lord, Don't Ask Me Questions)

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 20:21

Scor's is Jethro Tull

Communique #137 from the Ministry of Standards.

The Ministry has noticed a dangerous amount of hairy faces in this thread. As a result, this thread is ordered to cease posting images of men with longer than regulation moustaches and hair must be no longer than shoulder length.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Please continue with your Minsitry authorised leisure activities.

End of communique.

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 21:00

Yeah spaceplay, the 'rumour' clue gave it away.
It's a more recent picture though. I always remember him with a bit more hair than that. Still think it looks more like Richard Dean Anderson.

Ok, you should get this one . . .

But, there's three!

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 21:38

heh, don't tell me ya need another clue?

If you don't know, then someone's gotta at least make a guess first

Here's a nicer pic of the same band

NJK · 7th January 2004, 22:05

joy division?

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 22:06

Thompson Twins?

Wait there, I thought one of them was black.....

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 22:08

You have been drinking Nick - Joy Division?????

What???

Cylob · 7th January 2004, 22:10

It's the Cocteau Twins.....

__________________________________________________________

Hi buz, and welcome

umm, sorry, don't recognize them

A Belgian band, yes?
Well, I could reel a fair few off, but haven't got a clue what most of them look like....

unless someone else knows . . . new clue please!

Cylob · 8th January 2004, 05:48

Is it dEUS?

They're the only Belgian band I can think of.... Apart from....

Soulwax

But it must be the former

Mr Jones · 8th January 2004, 08:12

The only Belgian band springing to mind is Front 242, didn't they have a slap head lead singer, can't recall that there were that many of them however....

buz · 8th January 2004, 09:17

Cylob · 8th January 2004, 10:14

Great.

dEUS seem to have grown in numbers.

Here's mine....

NJK · 8th January 2004, 10:32

scientific = lab
and your avatar helped out

Stereolab
