hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: May 13 2005, 08:58 Korgscrew, could you please add a "top level" album-name discussion item for this one in the forum? The name reminds me of two things: one is the cover art for Platinum, that features what I always thought was a pool of  mercury. Second, there is already an album called "Quicksilver": the soundtrack to the Kevin Bacon film. This album featured such illuminaries as Fish (who has worked with Mike) and Tony Banks of Genesis. Definitely of "Prog" interest. "Shortcut to Somewhere" is a fantastic song.  (I don't see any problem with Mike using the name for his album at all, no chance of confusion) -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

And fourthly, one of the instrumentals on the Pink Floyd "More" soundtrack was called Quicksilver. Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Jammer Group: Members Posts: 641 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 13 2005, 18:47 Like the Rush album? Counterparts would be a good name too I made a comment in the announcement thread that the more enigmatic "Hg" would work too. Perhaps the next MVR project? Back to top

Juan Luis Group: Members Posts: 60 Joined: April 2001 Posted: May 14 2005, 03:29 I can not say if Quicksilver is a good name for the album or not. I strongly think that the name of an album depends on the content of it. One proposal could be putting "Quicksilver", as Mike has done in the past, in other language than English (Tres Lunas, Ommadawn, Amarok). For exemple: Quicksilver is Azogue in Spanish, Vil-Argent in French, Argent viu in Catalan,... Only a suggestion   Back to top

Ostach Group: Members Posts: 71 Joined: June 2004 Posted: May 14 2005, 06:38 Quicksilver= "¿ywe srebro" or "rtêæ" in Polish [zywe srebro, rtec] Mercury= "rtêæ" ("rtêæ" [rtec] is one of the elements), and "Merkury" which is one of the planets of course. who has the weirdest language?   Mike likes chemistry? I hope the name will be different than QS. QS brings "DJ Quicksilver" on my mind and that's bad P.S. that funny letters you see are the charm of polish language you doesn't see them as they are in real. -------------- I stay I pray See you in heaven one day...
