BassTractor Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1410371208' post='2548712'] Buggles- Adventures in Modern Recording? A guess based purely on the knowledge that they re-recorded Yes' "I Am A Camera". I'll be surprised if I'm right! [/quote] Sadly not, but that was an ultra cool answer. I did think of Yes's "Into the Lens" myself, where they sing "I am a camera", if memory serves, but had no idea there was this Buggles link to it, or I would've used the same song list but with better reasons! Maybe it's time to drop this one now. I thought it was easy seeing as many people on BC are antiquities like me. Might it help if I said it's prog from 1980, and the bassist in that band is highly regarded on BC but not mentioned very often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1410372945' post='2548744'] May I just mention that, in topics such as this, it's very useful to 'quote' the post being replied to. This reduces some of the confusion (eg: "What are you replying to, the post above or the one from the previous page..?" etc...). Just sayin'; as you were. [/quote] Etiquette of the topic...... Rules etc. I wasn't referencing any particular post. Things seemed to be getting a little haphazard. Do keep up old boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1410362186' post='2548576'] Apart from that Solo album by the Scandinavian Swedish Chef mentioned earlier, there will always be 'someone' who knows the album offered up. Some might take weeks, but we will get there in the end. Part of the fun.....innit bruv. [/quote] Absolutely, I'm a simple soul though and I need rules, boundaries as it were. Once the rules are established them there's always room for a little chaos but if chaos is the stepping stone then brimstone is surely the journeys end.

(Twas only by mistake I actually remembered its title today. I'd normally never do that, swear to god.) ...and silly me, some hours after our previous talk I suddenly remembered how the Buggles version you mentioned was indeed called "I Am a Camera", just like the GG song. Looking it up, I was surprised to see the GG release date predated the Buggles release date, but I guess the Buggles song actually was written before the Gentle Giant one, seeing as the Buggles took the song with them into Yes.
