The directions are two dimensional, not limited to a one dimensional sequence (the alphabet)... keep trying.

Quantum Leap was correct - I do need to make my clues much harder Wink

Enrico Fermi was one of the first physicists to note electrons making the quantum jump to emit a photon.

Errr, so you were looking for Joshua Scammell? Tongue

As for your guesses: they are not where near an answer to my riddle.

Dean: the above applies to yours as well.

it was meant for the "who shares your birthday in music" thread and somehow I posted it here (I guess I had a number of windows open and got them mixed up). Oh well.


Well then, it's obviously Octavarium, that one of most obvious things ever, Octavarium.

Oh well, we had fun with your clue, eventhough it doesn't have an answer.
 
Also, this thread is about cryptic band names (hence the unenigmatic title Tongue) - not about cryptic album titles - that thread is the Prog Rebus.

No. Hint: focus on the whole riddle, not just the 2 additional hints - but keep the two in mind. Smile

EDIT: the whole lot, for completeness sake...

The riddle: See it move in all directions before the alphabet begins

1st hint: 'See' is a letter in the alphabet....

2nd hint: The directions are two dimensional, not limited to a one dimensional sequence (the alphabet)

Well, the directions are two dimensional. We're speaking on a planimetry, hence.
 
Radii of a circumference are moving from the centre (C, i.e., "See") of it in all directions...
 
...before the alphabet begins...
 
...which means, inevitably, that the alphabet begins just outside the circumference...

You're amazing at at working these things out, Fass.

It could be either of the other Circles, (GER) for example, because the alphabet begins after the parentheses.

I think I may be right, but we won't know because Angelo is not here.
