Ok, it seems gkrieg attempt at Russian was a bit off and we are going first

Xyloto: 4

Huh, interesting. Sadly I'm not familiar with Coldplay enough to recognize this clue. For all I know, this might not even refer to Coldplay's opera. But I did a wiki search for it anyway.

Throwing out my first thoughts in spoilers—not to prevent the spymasters from seeing but to not sway Ipo's thought process.

TRACK, HEART, maybe CAST and/or PRINCESS? How dominant are horns on this album? I'll have to see if I can listen more to it this afternoon

ipofanes · « **Reply #328 on:** December 10, 2015, 02:11:38 pm »

Back I am! I have fallen sick for a couple of days.

As I understand it we'll not use spoilers this time.

Old fart like me is mostly unaware of today's pop culture. I am learning from Wikipedia that one song title featured as a single reads PRINCESS of CHINA, so there's that. There's TRACKS on an album, this would be my next choice. There is one track that reads "Don't let it break your HEART", which may be my fourth guess. Nothing on the board close enough to DEK's assembly language named "MMIX", which surprisingly is also a track title.

Ok, now reading Kuildeous' musings ... Yeah, CAST went through my head too but CHINA is more specific in my opinion.

I am not getting it, but presume you are not hinting at ROULETTE, that would be illegal.

I actually put Russian in my PM to him and said that we went first. Which I still think I was on the blue team last time.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #331 on:** December 10, 2015, 02:24:20 pm »

I concur with your choice of four. I wasn't that enamored with the CAST idea anyway.

So… China

EgorK · « **Reply #332 on:** December 10, 2015, 02:32:26 pm »

China is blue

Is that sinaya komanda or golubaya komanda in Russian?

ipofanes · « **Reply #334 on:** December 10, 2015, 02:35:23 pm »

Princess

siniy is more of a dark blue. Goluboy is more of a baby blue. So probably siniy

Correct

Continuing on with Ipo's thought, going with TRACK.

rspeer · « **Reply #339 on:** December 10, 2015, 11:38:13 pm »

Aside: If you end up listening to Mylo Xyloto, I recommend skipping Hurts Like Heaven. The album is pretty good overall, but that one track is so dynamically compressed that it insults my ears.

EgorK · « **Reply #340 on:** December 11, 2015, 01:41:39 am »

Track is blue

ipofanes · « **Reply #341 on:** December 11, 2015, 03:48:38 am »

Go for it: HEART

EgorK · « **Reply #342 on:** December 11, 2015, 07:41:41 am »

Heart is neutral

Red to go

Kuildeous · « **Reply #343 on:** December 11, 2015, 08:19:00 am »

Well, at least the clue was specific enough that HEART didn't hurt us too badly. I'll have to review the song list. I listened to a few songs on Spotify; I didn't get a strong horn vibe.

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #344 on:** December 11, 2015, 10:52:14 am »

HIMALAYAS

ashersky · « **Reply #347 on:** December 11, 2015, 11:14:20 am »

I also like lead (as in lead the way) and probably winter? Horn is a distant possibility (Matterhorn, etc.), as is litter (the sled thing to carry things), board (also the sled thing), and I guess either bird?

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #348 on:** December 11, 2015, 11:48:14 am »

HiIMALAYAS is RED

ipofanes · « **Reply #349 on:** December 11, 2015, 12:39:31 pm »

Gah, we cleared TRACK for them. I feel like a sherpa now.
