Listening Chain Challenge

Posted by: GraemeH on 08 December 2013

 

Let's see if this works:

 

I'm listening to the album Above. The challenge is to suggest the next album you will listen to which has a link to it.  The link must be described by you and can be as obvious (eg. same artist - potentially boring) or as un-obvious (some hitherto unknown/unexpected connection - potentially interesting), or as oblique as you like.

 

Points for the most unexpected/clever/funny connections.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer [trio] : Brain Salad Surgery

Loki,

 

How do ELP/Brain Salad Surgery link to Half Man Half Biscuit or the Back in the DHSS album?

 

Huntley & Palmer's biscuits?

Fair dos. It all makes sense now.

My guess is Loki was thinking some call it godcore and, in particular, of a tour jacket with detachable sleeves, you know where every band performing were one of those tribute bands, and first up was H-E-L-P: Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. It goes on for at least two hours because we’ve got a brand new Moog. Remember Nigel thought he'd died and gone to hell, and then fallen through a trapdoor and landed on the planet Prog Rock. Then the applauding Ent Sec introduced the next act. Jeez! (That’s journalese) …PFM! They didn’t really play many songs, just got unnecessarily passionate about the Azzurri and how Rossi was framed, and how his subsequent hat-trick against the Brazilians was a big F-off to the authorities. “Fair enough”, Nigel thought, “but perhaps no need for the language.” After the Identical Cocteau Twins, came the final act, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Focus. Following a commendable stab at Sylvia, Helen shouted to the guitarist: “Are you knackered, man?” To which he replied: “No, I’m Jan Akkerman”.

 

But then I could be wrong

Brilliant!

The link would work if the band was called Half Man Half Crackers

I'm guessing Steve that you posted that because there's a track on that LP called "The Window", written by Vivien Goldman... so:

Correct.
