Continuous Music Quiz

You should be able to work it out now.

Just wanted to add that:

Perhaps it was naïve of me to think that KVR forum members might take an interest in modern electronica...

Heitor Villa-Lobos

Frank's got it.

I'm a rock musician. And I live in Thailand.
Both are excellent excuses, but the latter is the best.

half from the same continent as the first

Ricardo Villalobos is from Santiago. How can you be half from a continent, anyway? You'd have to be born on a moving vehicle as it crossed the border. Minus 2,000,000,000,000 points.

Sorry Fex, I couldn't resist.

I'd actually pulled that quote to use as a clue, but Vurt had already got the correct 'minimal'.

[Blank_Frank]

OK, we're going to play a variation of the Pixellated Album Art question, again pressing into service my ageing copy of Paint Shop Pro, but this time using it's 'Contours' effect, which basically blurs the image and reduces the number of colours used.

The rules are (with a few minor edits copied from the last one):

The first person to get all 5 correct answers (with band/performer name and album title) wins. If no-one gets them within the hour (approximately) I'll start to post more detailed versions until someone gets all 5. No other clues will be provided, unless things get desperate. If you post a question, or a list of less than 5, I won't answer it. If you post a list of 5 answers, but they're not all correct, I'll answer "No".

There's no connection between them other than they're all, hopefully, fairly (if not very) well known. They range in date from the 70's to the 90's.

Groovy, aren't they?

half from the same continent as the first

Ricardo Villalobos is from Santiago. How can you be half from a continent, anyway?

By, for example, having parents of different nationalities, or by having dual nationality, or by having spent large amounts of one's life living on two continents.

As Villalobos' Wiki entry states:

Ricardo Villalobos is a Chilean-German electronic music producer [snip]Villalobos was born in Santiago, Chile in 1970.[1] In 1973[1] he moved to Germany with his family

And to be from somewhere does not necessarily mean that one was born there.

So, I'll have those points back thanks, with interest, and you can knock googolplex points off your tally for an incorrect challenge - and for being such a sore loser.

to be from somewhere does not necessarily mean that one was born there.

Does too. And it's a googolplex.
You're from Yorkshire, of course.... if you were a native English speaker, you'd know these things.

You are, of course, quite entitled to continue in your belief that language and the meanings of it's constituent words and idioms are rigid, immutable, set in stone (and that you know the precise and accurate meaning of every last one), as I will likewise continue in my belief that language is in fact far more nuanced - and, indeed, it derives much of it's richness and variety from this very property.

Funny though, as an English teacher I really would have thought that you, of all people, would understand the inherent malleability of language. (You must find reading books very difficult if you can not, for example, see past the literal to comprehend the metaphoric meaning beyond.)

Minus a googolplex to the power googolplex points etc...

I do. I frequently see it used as an excuse for talking bollocks, too.
