I know what a glissando is. Are The Glissandos the Vibrators?

King Crimson? I am thinking of Pete Sinfield; the "Suunfield" could be an allusion to "Moonchild".

No. Notice 'uu'! It may look cryptic but it's quite logical when you get it.

Yeah, they were pretty scary. And then there was that scene where he kills one of them just before travelling into the future.
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Yep. From the novel "The Time Machine". The two races in the future are the lethargic and peaceful Eloy and the cannibalistic Morlocks.

Morlock refers to Wells' The War of the Worlds... Can't figure out the band.

Here's one: Suunfield. (Easy, I guess.)

Wells is correct, but you've got the wrong novel.

And you got Mephistopheles.
