Musical Allusions

I've been trying to go through and fill out what remains left over from the allusions Kadono-sensei makes, and made a few changes to the ones previously there, namely the removing John Mellencamps 'Scarecrow' reference in favor of the Pink Floyd, as the Piper at the Gates of Dawn is specifically mentioned in that book, hence much more likely to be a reference to that song.

Also another thing is that I think I finally cracked the 'Embryo' reference, but I'm not going to put it on there in case I've totally go it wrong, but its neither of the ones posted out there. Instead Embryo (band) seems much likely in my opinion. They are super obscure, they sound like many of the other bands Kadono uses heavily (Specifically King Crimson), and there output derives largely in part from the early 70s progressive rock scene which Kadono (and admittedly me) is a huge fan of, having used King Crimson, Pink Floyd and ELP over and over again. What actually sealed the idea of Embryo being the reference outside of musical and chronological similarity, was that they have an album 'Fathers Sons & Holy Ghosts' which then would simultaneously fill in the blanks for the 'Holy & Ghost' novels.

I'll refrain from adding any of that in until some other opinions chime in, but of course, I really have no clue who checks this... Maybe Doceiras or Elric?
