Game for audiophiles: Identify this band: - Page 8

Cylob · 15th January 2004, 15:24

The only post-punk bands I know of (from Sheffield) are Cabaret Voltaire & New Model Army. I'm working on it...

Mr Jones · 15th January 2004, 15:44

Clock DVA, ask me another

Mr Jones · 15th January 2004, 15:50

Easy peasy Japaneasy one for you ...

NJK · 15th January 2004, 16:02

Jeeh jones how difficult this one was

could it be yellow magic orchestra

just a guess

NJK · 15th January 2004, 16:03

alright you brits

this one is a little more difficult for you

dutch band>

DJ Egg · 15th January 2004, 16:28

Well, if it's not Focus or Golden Earring, which it isn't, then I haven't got a clue.

NJK · 15th January 2004, 17:09

first part of the bands name -is found in a Depeche mode song -
second part of the bands name is a genre in music and has nothing to do with the music they play!

DJ Egg · 15th January 2004, 17:17

Living Blues?

NJK · 15th January 2004, 18:30

nope but they do play blues music - that part is right dj egg-

the lady in the front of the pic = tineke schoenmaker

DJ Egg · 15th January 2004, 19:39

Barrelhouse?

NJK · 15th January 2004, 19:43

two hands together to make the clapping sound

well done egg
- musicsearch???

Cylob · 15th January 2004, 19:46

Egg has the limited edition box-set.

DJ Egg · 15th January 2004, 22:54

hehe

Ok, I suppose it's my turn again then...

Genres: Electro-dark-wave | world | new age | industrial alt rock?

5 words

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 04:09

Need another clue do we?

Of German origin at the core, though not all members...

The band name is a comparative phrase.

Here's my playlist, if it'll help

Cylob · 16th January 2004, 05:51

The corporate phrase rules out Ozric Tentacles.

I browsed your darkwave selection and could only find 'Floatation'. Which ain't 5 words....

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 07:12

Corporate? Comparative!
...as in a comparison between one thing and another

Hmm, what's the proper grammatical term for it?
Not a metaphor or simile... umm, dang! brainfart!

They're somewhere in the middle of the list, or just after...

I'm not 100% sure what the actual genre is.
I looked on a few sites and found what I typed above.

If anything, they've been compared to the likes of:
Dead Can Dance | Delerium | This Mortal Coil | Enigma | Afro Celt Sound System | Celt Arabia | & I've even seen them listed alongside Depeche Mode & Skinny Puppy.

Mr Jones · 16th January 2004, 07:36

Love is colder than death?

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 07:44

aye

www.lictd.com

hmm, just checked out some of the mp3 samples off the new album... no where near as good as their older stuff

Teignmouth | Mental Traveller | Oxeia
Those 3 albums are worth acquiring.

Mr Jones · 16th January 2004, 08:04

Egg will get this no danger....

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 08:41

Looks a bit like my old mate Andy Weatherall

Sharp Utopia = Sabres of Paradise

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 09:00

Next...

Cylob · 16th January 2004, 09:35

Killing Joke?

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 15:45

Nope.

The clue is literal. One word only.

Genres: Industrial | Dark Ambient | Experimental | Electronica | Far Out & Freaky

Cylob · 16th January 2004, 16:09

Coil.

Funny, I listened to Love's Secret Domain only last night. Windowpane is the only 'proper' song on it (the rest is just theatrics)....

Cylob · 16th January 2004, 16:30

Next...

DJ Egg · 16th January 2004, 18:50

No idea.
I hope their music is better than their dress sense

Faultline?

Cylob · 16th January 2004, 19:01

Their music's definitely better than the dress sense.

Clue 2 - derailment on a miniature scale.

Genre - Rock (a 50's flavour, not unlike the Von Bondies).

Off to the recommendations thread (where I bet any money zootm's plugged Dillinger Escape Plan).

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 07:37

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster

Cylob · 17th January 2004, 08:10

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 08:15

Original punk band

I could only find this small thumbnail of the original 1978 line-up (there might even be a loose clue in there somewhere).

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 12:54

Need another clue do we?

Well, small thumbnail was the loose clue from before, though it's not a thumb or a nail, if ya know what I mean...

Here's a pic of the band from 1997.
The only original member left is the singer/guitarist, 2nd on the right. You might recognise the guy on the left as the bass player from an even more famous band from the late 70's/early 80's...

Cylob · 17th January 2004, 13:21

Stiff Little Fingers?

If so, I was thrown as they formed in '77. Hmmmmmmmm...

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 13:56

Yup. Sure is.

I didn't say when they formed,
all I said was it was a picture of the original line-up from 1978,
ie. the picture was from 1978

Or at least, that was what I meant to say,
but I can see how anyone could easily be confused by my ambiguously worded statement, lol.

And of course, the current bass player is none other than Bruce Foxton of The Jam.

Cylob · 17th January 2004, 14:06

If I knew a tenth of what you do about music I'd still be a genius...

Now, 'taking a ride' back to the 60's

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 15:19

The Double Decker String Band?

lol

Nah, they look very familiar though...

I thought it could've been Peter Paul & Mary at first
(Leaving on a Jet Plane)
until I saw a few pictures of them...

Cylob · 17th January 2004, 15:29

Invented for skyscrapers....

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 16:16

13th Floor Elevators

DJ Egg · 17th January 2004, 17:00

and now for some 80's psychedelia...

Cylob · 17th January 2004, 20:17

For a minute I thought '80's psychedelia' was a joke, but man you're serious!

/trips and falls at the first hurdle (breaks two toes).

DJ Egg · 18th January 2004, 01:32

Ok then...

Well, this was a supposedly secret side-project of a band that have already been mentioned recently in this thread, albeit as a wrong guess (by your good self, Cylob).

Said band started out as a punk outfit in circa 1977, but had a change of direction by 1979, taking a more new wave / alt pop-rock approach, and had a string of catchy hits (79 - 83 ish), still going afaik...

They recorded a couple of albums in the mid to late 80's under this more "psychedelic" guise...

You've got some trax in your playlist by them under their more popular name, but not any by this alter-ego.

hmm, kinda lordly and atmospheric (clue)
