Hatfield and the North - Hatfield and the North

I don't recognise the other house cover... odd.

I'll give you that, though of course it's actually Zamla Mammaz Manna (yes, I know it's pedantic but I deliberately limited myself to one album per band so I wanted to make that clear).

As for Tuzvihar's "contribution"... Angry

I'm afraid he's spoilt it for all of us. I can hardly go awarding a magic bean to whoever gets it right now, can I?

I'll have to make a different quiz now, or I'll never be rid of the damn thing! LOL

All I know is I have a headache looking at that thing.  LOL

Indeed. That coupled with your correct identification of the Jan Dukes De Grey album leaves us with a mere 3 covers remaining. Seeing as no one's going to be winning a magic bean this time, I'll make it easier for you:







Any guesses?

It's a corker! Nothing else quite like it.

The other two are also RIO/Avant albums (admittedly rather obscure ones, though). If no one gets them soon I'm going to have to start dropping some really big hints.

Just can't get the last one.

The album cover to the first is really familiar...

It's a European chamber prog type band I think and I've heard the album! LOL

I just don't know what it is.

Maybe not European...

But still chamber prog.

And amazing too. Big smile

Congratulations!

I was serious when I said I'd make another quiz, by the way. I'm already working on it... Embarrassed

That Lars Hollmer(/Looping Home Orchestra) album is, incidentally, one of my all-time favourite records. The compositions are all classic Hollmer and the line-up do a fantastic job of bringing them to life. There's a real rawness and energy to it which is lacking in some of his studio albums (though I wouldn't say those albums are cold or clinical, just more introspective, really). Frith on guitar/violin particular (and somewhat unsurprisingly) stands out on that album.

Do check it out.

Do you have any Accordion Tribe with Hollmer and Klucesevic (sp.)?

And I still cannot get over the fact I didn't recognise that Pocket Orchestra cover... I mean, yes, I recognised it but couldn't remember what it was!

It's probably because I don't have it on CD. Cry

I've got the first accordian tribe album on mp3 but I've not listened to it anywhere near as much as Hollmer's solo/Looping Home Orchestra albums. I like Hollmer as a keyboardist just as much as an accordianist, which could explain why I don't find it as interesting.

Ah I see.

I have most of Hollmer's solo albums, plus an Accordion Tribe album but I'm not sure if I have any Looping Home Orchestra.  I shall have to do some digging.

Hi again,

Here's a set of 30 albums for you to guess:



Forgive me my previous "contribution" please. And Rico, indeed, I don't have (almost) any real friends. Ouch
