As I recall, KC had a band poet - all he did was lyrics.

Oh yeah! S - something, it starts with S...

Elspode · 08-17-2006, 05:52 PM

I'll throw Greg Lake into the mix, here.

Undertoad · 08-17-2006, 06:17 PM

Here I am saying S something and fff has already said Sinfield, I think he is right, Peter Sinfield.

If it was Wetton, the lyrics would be like

it was the heat of the moment
telling us what your heart meant
the heat of the moment
shown in your eyes

But since it was Sinfield, the lyrics were like

On soft grey mornings widows cry,
The wise men share a joke;
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax.
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king.

Much as I like the Moody Blues, I don't think Days of Future Passed really pulled off the Symphony in Rock thing as well as In the Court of the Crimson King.

Is there a question pending? Foot^3, I think it's your turn.

Spexxvet · 08-17-2006, 08:52 PM

That's trite - I mean right.

all completeness in the morning
asleep at your side
I'll be waking up the crewmen
banana boat ride

She responds like a limousine

footfootfoot · 08-18-2006, 07:17 AM

whoops, that was plamer james wasn't it?

footfootfoot · 08-18-2006, 11:12 AM

Oh. yeah. Umm. gimme a minute ot two.

footfootfoot · 08-18-2006, 11:19 AM

OK we all love Laurie Anderson's oh oh oh oh oh oh Superman like it was our own red headed stepchild, especially because she is using a vocoder.

But what I wanna know is how old is the vocoder technology? Not the exact same one that made Frampton so savagely overplayed in the 70s, but let's say, the granddady. Not so far back as benjamin franklin and his kite, more recent.

And for bonus, what was the big idea behind the vocoder anyway?

barefoot serpent · 08-18-2006, 11:34 AM

I'm guessing it was something that George Martin cooked-up in the Beatles skunkworks heyday? It's just a preamp, isn't it?

Vocoder technology was originally developed in the early days of telephony as a possible method of multiplexing several analogue voice streams over a single line...but I do not know the year.

I love the Cellar for tidbits of information like this. You learn stuff without even trying.
