Game for audiophiles: Identify this band: - Page 6

Cylob · 11th January 2004, 20:34

My reverse-logic didn't pay off. Ah well.

Your lot look like escaped convicts....

Is it Wizzard?

DJ Egg · 11th January 2004, 21:15

Hahaha

No.

On the right lines though...

spaceplay will get this straight away (I think/hope),
though I've a feeler that you're taking the proverbial?

DJ Egg · 12th January 2004, 02:47

Eh?
"Follow the yellow brick road" and "feeler"... and still no-one's got it?

Come on . . . surely not!

Maybe Nick missed my post or something?

Clue #1 is kinda connected with the first word of the band name,
and clue #2 with the second word.

Think instrumental.

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 05:41

The Ozric Tentacles?

DJ Egg · 12th January 2004, 07:40

Why the question mark?

Yeah. Sure it is.

Note: There's no "The" in the official name though.
Got any of their music, Cylob?

Your turn.

NJK · 12th January 2004, 07:43

by the time I read your first clue Cylob already posted the name . but I think that somewhere upstairs there might be an album or two in one or another box????

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 08:09

Ozric Tentacles... (check my playlist, it's in alphabetical order).

I have:
1995 - Tantric Obstacles
1997 - Curious Corn
2000 - The Hidden Step

Genre - Space Rock (for argument's sake I class them as prog-rock). Now, must find a pic.... Have fishing rod, off googling.

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 08:13

These rank as one of my favourite bands...

NJK · 12th January 2004, 08:16

does this mean I have to Shut Up on this one?????

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 08:19

Well, how is your knowledge of early 90's British indie music (circa 91-93)?

DJ Egg · 12th January 2004, 11:01

Slowdive

@Cylob

I also recommend these Ozrics albums:

Pungent Effulgent (1989)
Strangeitude (1991) --> Track #2 - Sploosh!

Waterfall Cities (1999)

They're my 3 personal faves, I think...

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 11:08

Well what do you know, I'm connected to slsk.

Top marks for identifying Slowdive, I thought it would at least go to 2 x clues...

Cylob · 12th January 2004, 12:41

An extra round while Egg is delibarating...

NJK · 12th January 2004, 13:47

found it - been seaching for an oztic tentacle album I knew I own at least one and I found it on vinyl and thanks to modern technologie it's also on cd nowday- order went out today-2 albums on one cd -

btw I own there is nothing

DJ Egg · 13th January 2004, 06:13

yay!

_________________________________

Hmm, don't recognize them Cylob
Must be someone off your playlist, yes?
Alison's Halo maybe?
Surely can't be another 'too obvious' one, eg. Heavenly?

If neither, then . . . next clue please

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 06:19

You'll kick yourself Egg...

Named after a football team. Apparently one of the most incredible matches of all time.

DJ Egg · 13th January 2004, 08:08

Saint Etienne?
United?
The Hamilton Academic Trio?

Mr Jones · 13th January 2004, 08:20

Has to be Saint Etienne, Sarah Cracknell, nummmmy .....

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 09:07

Yes, this is a sad dream I have..... waking up to find Sarah Cracknell on one side, Toni Halliday on the other...

A bit of variety there.

NJK · 13th January 2004, 13:35

let's see if anyone knows this one

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 15:29

No idea man.

NJK · 13th January 2004, 16:45

the clue is in the name of the attachment

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 17:00

I know it is. Came up blank, unless it's Steeleye Span (which it most definitely ain't).

NJK · 13th January 2004, 17:29

to quote a song by Thomas Dolby "close but no cigar"

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 17:39

Aluminum Group?

NJK · 13th January 2004, 17:40

no are you stretching it a bit ?????
or are you in need of another clue???

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 17:43

I really have no clue. Even the office seniors were stumped...

Where's the Egg when you need him?

NJK · 13th January 2004, 17:50

one of their songs was mixed with the billy jean song from MJ to one song.

Mr Jones · 13th January 2004, 18:38

Steely Dan?

Yeahhh, googled them, found your picture

http://www.nyrock.com/img/2000/steelydan.gif

Mr Jones · 13th January 2004, 18:46

Muh go, clue is in the title

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 20:20

Looks like Jaz Coleman's black brother...

DJ Egg · 14th January 2004, 08:07

No idea Jonesy.
A jungle / drum & bass DJ/producer/artist?
Or the new tarzan?

Mr Jones · 14th January 2004, 08:14

Egg, your close with the jungle thing, I'll give you another clue...

One of his more famous tunes was also the name film that featured the famous line
"Everybody be cool! This is a robbery!"

DJ Egg · 14th January 2004, 08:29

Hmm . . .

Pulp Fiction, yes?

uuhh, surely not Kool & The Gang - Jungle Boogie?
(from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack)

hehe

umm, Metalheadz man -> Alex Reece?
hmm, or was that called "Pulp Friction"?

Mr Jones · 14th January 2004, 08:40

Yeah, Alex Reece,one time up and coming jungle superstar, it was originally called Pulp Fiction as you point out, then after a very public bust up with Metalheadz he rejigged the tune and released it as Pulp Friction

/wasn't Jungle Boogie from Resevoir dogs?, my QT soundtracks are a little fuzzy

DJ Egg · 14th January 2004, 08:59

cool.

Here's a new one.
First clue is in the filename
(we're looking for the 'band' name, not individual)

Hmm, that's 2 clues, doh!

DJ Egg · 14th January 2004, 11:03

No guesses? Need another clue?

Ok. The dude in the pic is an intrepid DJ
And the band name? Stay alive at the roullette wheel... or don't as the case may be.

Cylob · 14th January 2004, 11:17

Well, my favourite musician (not) is Elvis, who died in Graceland.

So, is it DJ Graceland.

The gamble on life clue has gone totally over my head...

DJ Egg · 14th January 2004, 11:19

I've edited my post... because it wasn't a 'literal' clue.
Possibly too cryptic.

It has to do with what the band used to be called,
and what they changed the name to after a dispute...
so you were on the right tracks.

Cylob · 14th January 2004, 11:20

Man!

Death in Vegas...

dang!
