Someone (Evermind) sent Jon Lord, but I don't know the songs well enough.
He always sends Pictured Within.


Right... and I think he sent it to me, I just couldn't remember the name of it.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Oh yeah... right.  Because I'd checked it out in someone's earlier roulette.   :lol

This is a strange roulette to participate in. I only know maybe half of the participants and I don't even recognize half of the bands in the first round. :lol

I'm assuming these though:

Evermind-Jon Lord
Hath-T of P
Lonestar-VFTF
J Boy-Nightwish
King-Jon Butler Trio...of maybe I'm thinking John Butcher Axis..
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I have no idea, but apparently they have an album coming out this year.

I just clicked on their Facebook page and here's what I've got:

Quote
Genre: Modern electronic dance rhythms fused with traditional Irish and West African music.

Sounds like Zantera / Sacul music. :lol

Bolsters guessed "B"

Letters Guessed: A T Z E I N M H R O B
Closure in Moscow - Happy Days
Ulver - Tomorrow Never Knows
Afro Celt Sound System - _ee_ __anne_
Anathema - Untouchable Part 1
Theocracy - Bethlehem
Jon Lord - Pictured Within
Tower of Power - ___ib _a_e_
Threshold - Clear
Julia Holter - Silhouette
Portishead - Roads
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
Wishbone Ash - The King Will Come
Portishead - Glory Box
Voices from the Fuselage - Meteorites
Haken - 1985
John Butler Trio - Ocean

You're close.

2 listens in now, I'm making comments... here are a few tidbits.

Harsh noise.

Nice light intro and then BAM.

I like this old school sound.

Exactly what I would expect from you.

Almost jazzy vocals in this one; I picture a smoky lounge.

So funky.


Helpful, I am.

Oh OK. Never heard it, but if it sounds like 1985, that isn't as old school as Wishbone Ash.

It's modern and uses 80's keyboard patches for certain parts.  The guitarists solo 80's style and they use electronic drums for the song.  It's modern but has that 80's vibe to it.
