Ok, the game is very simple: im thinking of a person. The objective is: you have to discover who is that person making questions that i can only awnser `yes` or ´no´ (sometimes, depending of the complexity of the `person` i can awser `not exactly` or `more or less`). You cant ask stuff like `the name of the person begin with the letter m?´. Who discover the identity of the ´person´ in the last question/awnser will think about another ´person´ so we can discover the identity. The person can be real or imaginary (like Mickey Mouse, not your imaginary friend), human or not, but can´t be an object .Make sure you dont choose your dog, for example, cause im sure just you know it...And you have to be sure, also, that you know the minimal details of the person (nacionalitty, alive or dead, skin colour, cultural reference etc...) to give awnsers. The person who is ´thinking the person´ can give just one hint per round. when one person ask for a hint the others cant ask anymore, so you have to ask hints just when is very difficult. Example: -im thinking of a person - is a woman? -no - is a man? -yes - is he living? - yes -is he famous? -yes - is he alive? -yes -is he a musician? -yes -is he from EUA? -yes - Is he on progarchives database? - No. -is he a country singer? -yes - i wanna a hint - the rolling stones were quite a fan of him... -is he Bob Dylan? - Yes! Ok, im thinking of a person...[a easy one to start]

An artist can also be a sculptor, painter, writer or even an architect. But this one is a musician indeed, and he or she appears in ProgArchives. So the answer is: Yes.

He is most known for a band career or as solo artist?
|
Posted By: someone_else
Date Posted: October 06 2011 at 03:09
Hard to say. He has been known as a solo artist for many years, but his first fame came from a band in which he played bass and some other instruments (a personal note: I support the inclusion of this band in Proto-Prog). -------------

Most of his music can be described as "soft", but some songs are rather "heavy". -------------

^Yes. Most of his albums with girls appearing on the cover are soundtracks dating from the 90's. A girl can be found on the cover of one of his 70's studio albums, but not in the foreground. -------------

To add another hint: Not the symphonic and eclectic prog giants, but the names of Kevin Ayers and Brian Eno appear on his curriculum vitae. So does Terry Riley (Prog Related, just like him).
