I think I have 1), but my link to KC is kind of obscure, and I think I'm missing something more obvious. I have 3). I liked Rick's 2), so I'm staying quiet until I have a better answer...

I'll give that one to you Jim.

I was thinking of:

1) Robert Fripp who played on H to He who am the only one.

2) Red (Red Shoes and Red Barchetta and various other Rush trax)

3) Spot on.

Over to you.

Let's try this.

The following list is a bunch of songs, album titles or band names, all of which are on Aural Moon. The challenge is, I'll give you the name in English, and your answer must be how it appears on Aural Moon. As an example, if I said "Good old Charlie", the answer would be the band "Buon Vecchio Charlie" Let's start with 9 out of the 12 required, and I'll reduce it if it turns out to be too hard. But I don't think it will be...

End Of The Century
3rd Act - City Of The Future
Song Of Spring
Modern Times
Butterfly
Dancing On Lava
Welcome To The Country
New Art
White Elephant
Baku Dream
Homesickness After Visit to the Lake
Scorpion

warning: I can butcher many "languages"!
There's at least 7 different ones here...

Yes there is..........

But it's difficult as I have enough trouble translating between American and English English.

I'm working on it though. Give me a little more time please.

Ta.

will pass

There's interest, but the combination of the difficulty for me to decipher and the work right now - maybe this weekend I can take a shot. My foreign laungage knowledge is also 0

I'm in no hurry. As long as people are working on it, have fun.

A minor hint:

the languages represented are:
French
Spanish
Italian
Portuguese
German
Hawaiian
not really a language - but an anagram
Latin

each one is represented once except French and Italian, which have more than one each

I'm sorry

I just can't get the question - my comprehension of what an answer would be isn't there. I am really confused.

Could you give us one answer? I know there was an example given but the light won't click on in my head.

well, you got 6 correct, so take it away.

do you guys want all the answers, or do you want to work on the rest?

(Yes - Turn of the Century was incorrect, the rest were exactly right)
