Our bands name is Verisimilitude [ver-uh-si-mil-i-tood]. We came up with Vtude as a shorting because no one could pronounce it properly. One of our songs is called Panazatazum. We pronounce it [puh-na-zuh-ta-zum] Our friend made up the word, meaning to have a stoner freak out, or intense paranoia. Heres a link to the song..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduqE6ctiuE

I always thought it to be this:
Phideaux - fee-DOH Tago Mago - TUH-goh MUH-goh Popol Vuh - POH-pohl VYUH (as the narrator in Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany pronounced it) Nemrud - No clue. NEHM-ruhd ? Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré - (It's Kobaian, for chrissakes.) Arubaluba - uh-rooh-buh-LOOH-buh.

How do you pronounce Terje Rypdal? I've always been lazy and just pronounced it in a way I'm sure is wrong, but I'd like to get in the habit of saying it correctly. (Norwegian guitarist)
My guess is Tear - yeh Rip - doll (as music critic Bradley Smith once stated)

To my ear, Bacamarte sounded like bəkəmÁhchi (ə =schwa, like in above or pizza), while the stressed 'a' is a lot more open. That said, the person who I learned this from might have been an ignorant favelado, traveling incognito
Also importantly: can someone explain what the cover art is supposed to symbolize ? I am especially intrigued by the front cover image, with a pregnant cavegirl, clutching her tummy and a caveman, chiseling Roman numerals onto what looks like the Ten Commandments tablets.

^Our pronounce in Brasil: Bacamarte - 'Ba-ca-mar-tchee'. All the letters 'a' being pronounced like in the english bar, the accent put in the third syllable.
'Bacamarte' is not anymore a common usage word here too, but I was told that perhaps until the seventies in my city it was used also as a slang that meant 'old rubbish'. And this band is 'carioca'(from Rio), so maybe the slang usage is what the band wanted to mean, as they formed in 1974, in spite of the album 'Depois do Fim' being released only in 1983.
Cabezas de cera:
1) 'ca-be-thas de the-ra' in Spain;
2) 'ca-be-ssas de sse-ra' in South and Central America;
3) All the letters 'a' being pronounced like in the english word 'bar'.
Machiavel - 'Ma-kee-a-vel', again the letter 'a' being pronounced like in the english 'bar'.
