I think the answer to Jaded's has been flagged - Brian Eno (played on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis with Peter Gabriel, partnered Robert Fripp on No Pussyfooting and elsewhere, and is brother to Roger Eno.

Suggest we take Woofage's question as the current one. Even though I don't understand the answer.

I believe it may have been toast.

Nearly there, but I need the full answer!

While everyone is pondering Jaded's Q, here's a quick one:

Towards the end of the video to "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads there is an example of stop-frame animation using some unorthodox media. What was that media?

I believe it may have been toast.

There's so much weird shit in that video, I can't even remember the half of it!

If I'm correct, and accepting that we now appear to have two questions ongoing (since Jaded's remains unanswered) then my question if "What was the name of OMD's 4 track tape recorder?"

That's an easy one - Winston Smith.

Jaded · « **Reply #378 on:** 20 January, 2010, 08:58:01 pm »

It's not Brian Eno!

It is another performer though.

Redlight · « **Reply #379 on:** 21 January, 2010, 07:59:10 am »

I was thinking either Tony Levin or Daniel Lanois, but I can't connect Levin to Eno or Lanois to Fripp!

Toyah Wilcox?

Jaded · « **Reply #381 on:** 21 January, 2010, 09:14:58 am »

Gritty, very disticntive voice...

nicknack · « **Reply #382 on:** 21 January, 2010, 09:22:28 am »

Surely not the Captain?

Or Joe Cocker?

Jaded · « **Reply #383 on:** 21 January, 2010, 09:27:09 am »

no.

Very influential - cited by many as a huge influence

Tom Waits?

Jaded · « **Reply #385 on:** 21 January, 2010, 10:29:43 am »

Foresaw Punk in a seminal album.

Ian Dury?

Nick Lowe?

citoyen · « **Reply #388 on:** 21 January, 2010, 10:38:24 am »

Elvis Costello?

nicknack · « **Reply #389 on:** 21 January, 2010, 10:42:20 am »

Must be Peter Hammill then.

Woofage · « **Reply #390 on:** 21 January, 2010, 10:44:42 am »

or Richard Hell?

edit: scrub that. After reading the original Q again I think Nicknack is correct.

Redlight · « **Reply #391 on:** 21 January, 2010, 10:54:18 am »

Of course, no one has mentioned David Bowie yet. I thought of Peter Hammill too but I can't connect him with Lanois

How long before we get put out of our misery, Jaded?

citoyen · « **Reply #392 on:** 21 January, 2010, 11:00:25 am »

Presumably it's someone British, yes? Or is it Iggy Pop?

d.

Yes, indeed.

He has collaborated with each of them.

Sorry, I was off downstairs eating loads of cake and having a self-made mocha!

Note for bobb - Peter Hammill (and in particular his album "Nadir's Big Chance") was a huge influence on John Lydon - so is absolutely not obscure wanky bollox and is completely pop related

nicknack and/or Pingu to set the next question then.

nicknack · « **Reply #397 on:** 21 January, 2010, 11:32:11 am »

Paul, Paul, John, Andy and who?

Woofage · « **Reply #398 on:** 21 January, 2010, 12:14:33 pm »

Simon?

nicknack · « **Reply #399 on:** 21 January, 2010, 01:07:20 pm »

Exactly. Free it was. Your go.
