I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with some obscure questions? Like most people, over the years I have accumulated a list of music that I have heard only once (typically via radio), noted down, and never heard again. Unfortunately, some of these pieces are sort of esoteric, as well as being out of print. Here are some of them (view it as being a quiz). If anyone should know some or all of the answers, I would appreciate an email response. 1. A group called "Cornerstone" (I believe), with a piece called "Sniffin' the tears". What is the name and date of the album? Any confirmation on the name of the group and the song? 2. A group called "Titus Groan" with an album called "Titus Groan". When did it come out? Did they put out anything else? (Parenthetically, the name of the group is from the "Gormenghast" trilogy by Mervyn Peake.) 3. An artist named Steve Beren (spelling?), and a piece called "The Magic Magician". This is a big one for me. I've heard the piece twice now, but have never been able to track it down. Anyone know the album name and date? Did Beren put out anything else? 4. Tangerine Dream. I have the albums "Phaedra", "Rubycon", "Cyclone", "Stratosfear". Any others? 5. Ambrosia. What album has "Holding on to yesterday" on it? Date? 6. Here's an odd one. I am looking for the album "Gwydion sings songs for the old religion", which contains the song "Spring Strathspey". I know it was at one time available on Nemeton Records. Does Nemeton still exist? Anyone know an address? How about a date on the album? 7. What albums does the group Shadowfax have out besides "Shadowdance"? Are they all on the Wyndham Hill label? 8. What Klaus Schulze (spelling?) album contains "Moondawn"? What other albums does he have out? What label? 9. What albums does William Ackerman have out? Are they all on Wyndham Hill? (Parenthetically, I have liked *every* Wyndham Hill artist I have heard. Does Wyndham Hill put out a catalog? How many artists?) 10.Jon Anderson. Does he have out any other albums along the lines of "Olias of Sunhillow"? 11.Sally Oldfield. Does she have out any other albums besides "Waterbearer"? I'm also curious - is she Mike Oldfield's sister or wife? 12.Mike Oldfield. I'd heard that there was some mention or discussion of his works in this group recently, but nothing along those lines ever showed up at our site. I have "Ommadawn", "Hergest Ridge", "Tubular Bells", and "QE2". What others does he have out? What are the contents of the boxed set "Mike Oldfield Boxed"? 13.Steeleye Span. I have "Rocket Cottage". What other albums did they put out? How long ago? What label? What happened to the group? Eclectic enough for you? Note that I have not indicated varieties of music on any of the above. I first figured that if you didn't know already from recognizing names, it wouldn't matter. But, if you are curious, drop me a line. I'd certainly appreciate any more information. Thanks!
