So...debut albums?

Genesis - From Genesis to Revelation
Tori Amos - Y Kant Tori Read
David Bowie - David Bowie
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk (Dinosaurs?)
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

That's it? I get the feeling I'm missing something...

You're 90% of the way there so I'll put you out of your misery - it's debut albums that the artists have to some extent distanced themselves from.

The Kraftwerk reference was to the fact that they called their first two albums 'archeology' when asked if they'd ever make it to CD.

Apologies for the delay. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Aaaah-choo!

Sorry again for the extended delay; not sure if anyone's still out there, but here's my cold-addled brain's attempt at a cryptic question. I'll post more tonight and the final clues tomorrow. They're not anagrams!

A5: Sun children

B3: The Scarecrow Man

A2: The poor one

B1: Delights the King

B2: Again, loving steps

A3: People merely cynical

More tomorrow...

A4: This Daddy thing

B5: Me - pink, miniature and..?

A1: Garden of a president

B4: Days across

That's all folks...

1989 album. More than 10 tracks. 'A' and 'B' are not sides.

Correlate correctly and there are five full track titles, and some big clues to most of the rest of them.

XTC's Oranges & Lemons. Your clues are made up of words taken from consecutive track titles, the A series and B series each containing a single word from all 15 tracks, which are:

1. Garden of Earthly Delights
2. The Mayor of Simpleton
3. King for a Day
4. Here Comes President Kill Again
5. The Loving
6. Poor Skeleton Steps Out
7. One of the Millions
8. Scarecrow People
9. Merely a Man
10. Cynical Days
11. Across This Antheap
12. Hold Me My Daddy
13. Pink Thing
14. Miniature Sun
15. Chalkhills and Children

All of which made me realise how long it's been since the last XTC album, but a bit of googling reveals they've officially called it quits. How sad. I knew Partridge and Moulding had drifted apart, but according to Wikipedia they no longer even communicate.

I was convinced I was talking to myself there for a while!

Yes, I'm sad to hear they've finally called it quits, but I also respect Andy Partridge for not continuing on with the XTC name without Colin Moulding, even though Andy wrote the vast majority of the material...

Righto, a quick album cover quiz:

Nine albums. Mostly obvious, some not. There's a link.

GaryG · Post by **GaryG** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:09 pm

um, will you take two and no connection?

Of course!

Wait, no.

Don't worry. Once you've got three or more, the connection will be glaringly obvious.

Clue...

If you label the albums like this:

A B C
D E F
G H I

then in chronological order, they were released C G H B E D I F A, with C in 1964 and both F and A in 2005.
