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!

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! :D

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?

Congrats, Shaggy!
Now bring us some more! Easy stuff, like The Beatles' "Sgt, Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". ;)

Ok, a perennial fave of mine, hopefully not too eclectic. A collaboration between two musicians much better known for being in a couple of high profile bands

1. America is waiting
2. Mea Culpa
3. Regiment
4. Help me somebody
5. The Jezabel spirit
6. Qu'ran
7. Moonlight in glory
8. The Carrier
9. A secret life
10. Come with us
11. Mountain of needles

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fcourse you were.
(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.

Wrong of me to have put my oar into this thread, as I'm travelling and BC-less for the next 4 days
Answer is "My life in the bush of ghosts" by Brian Eno and David Byrne, around 1979-ish

Someone else take up the baton quick.....

Great thread idea. However, I must say that the funniest three phrases I've ever seen together are these


The answer was, (you'll all be kicking yourself now) "Ótta" by Sólstafir.

Wind of change immediately flagged up scorpion but it's not them. I'm stumped, so far I've got one right.

Best to give it a good 20 minutes or so, so that all have a decent chance to reply. Gas Mark 7. :ph34r:[size=4] [/size]
