YIPPEEE!! Someone got there at last! It is indeed Gong! Tu veux un camembert?  Last guesses for our mysterious Italian group before I put you all out of your misery?

No "E" in Spirogyra, I'm afraid. |

I can categorically state that clip 3 is far from being Japanese - it's Italian, in fact. As for clip 4 - it predates GYBE by a not inconsiderable margin. Really, I'm so surprised and disappointed that no one's picked up on it yet. I thought this forum was stuffed full of fans of the band in question! Listen really closely to that clip - there's a snippet of French in there which is a dead giveaway... at least, I thought it was anyway... |

I've missed two of these games... grrr!
I still cannot get the last ones though. Not even clip 4... Is one of them OOIOO? Clip 3 just sounds Japanese to me... Is 4 something by Godspeed You Black Emperor!? Edited by James - February 05 2009 at 06:33 |

Nicely done!
Any guesses on the missing bands? There's an R, O and G all still to be accounted for. I might as well reveal what the missing S from round 1 was, seeing as it looks like no one's going to get it: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=510 The song was from their self-titled debut, and was called "The Prisoner (Eight by Ten)". It's an interesting album if you like a lot of melltron, but the vocals are dreadful, and rather ruin it, IMO. |

I'm going to go for the gold and guess the final band name.

Good work guys!
Samla, Yes, Idiot Flesh, Robert Wyatt and Area are all correct! So now we have: P***SYRIA It's just those three elusive letters left. I actually chose clip 2 specifically because it sounds like ELP (even though it isn't) just to throw people off the scent of the real culprit! I'm disappointed that no one's got clip 4 yet... Perhaps you're not listening hard enough. I thought the little snippet of french on it would be a dead giveaway! |
