Gabriel
I think Gabriel is the best-know lamb track seeing this chart:  P ieter D   T ell me about i T . 22:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Heaven was also used for the Season 2 promo for Six Feet Under.
"Heaven was also used for the Season 2 promo for Six Feet Under." Actually it was also used in the actual episode of season 2 episode 2 at the beginning. --NeF 01:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Heaven in advert
I best remember the song Heaven from an advert/commercial which aired in the UK (probably US too) it was a car advert, I don't remember enough about it to track down the advert, but hopefully this will help jog someone's memory. It took me a while to narrow it down to being from a car advert. --NeF 01:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

What is that title?
I often see the remixes album titled ''What is that sound? - Lamb Remixed'', even in this page. But where that title come from? The album cover seems to not mention What is that sound? sentence and the official website doesn't use that title either. Do some one got references? An explanation about what seems to be a kind of 'popular un-official title'? Before I correct to Lamb Remixed, I would like to understand: it might be an interesting subject to develop in the article.

Band name
The summary box states that the band is also known as "Lamb Retretes", which I think is a prank: "Lamb Retretes" reads as "Toilet Lickers" in portuguese. I think the alternative name should be removed. Mcalmeida (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Lamb (band) → Lamb (duo) – Not a band per WP:BANDDAB. The editor  whose username is Z0 17:22, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. bd2412  T 01:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is a duo of electronic musicians. They play electronic musical instruments. Chubbles (talk) 01:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose as proposed. WP:BANDDAB says "Use either '(band)' or '(duo)' when the musical ensemble is a duet." It does not deprecate the use of "(band)" in these cases. Dekimasu よ! 02:31, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose the guidance on WP:BANDDAB says "Use either '(band)' or '(duo)' when the musical ensemble is a duet." Maybe we should remove the (duo) option as it adds nothing In ictu oculi (talk) 07:56, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - a band makes it more imprecise because there could be 2 to an infinite number of members whereas duo shows there is only 2 members in the group. A band is defined as "a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type". This music group is a duo of electronic musicians who are not instrumentalists (players of a musical instrument). In popular culture, a band is typically a group of 4-5 people who sing, play the guitar, drums, bass, etc. Calling a group of 2 musicians a band is simply inaccurate and improper although literally they could fit the scope.   please consider reconsidering. Not only (duo) makes it easier to categorize music groups consisting of 2 members, it also distinguishes electronic music groups from regular music groups.

 * 1) To this point, I think everyone has been fairly accepting of the fact that you filed 30 individual move requests instead of a multimove. However, please understand that it's annoying to get over 30 page notifications for the same comment–and then getting 30 edit conflicts after you edit the comment with the ping in it. If the issues at hand are the same, please pick one talk page and have the rest of the discussion there.
 * 2) There is nothing inaccurate or improper about calling a band with two members a band. Musical ensemble: "Examples of two-member bands are Japandroids, Local H, Pet Shop Boys, Hella, Flight of the Conchords, Death from Above 1979, Francis Xavier, I Set My Friends On Fire, Middle Class Rut, The Pity Party, Little Fish, The White Stripes, Big Business, Two Gallants, Lightning Bolt, The Ting Tings, The Black Box Revelation, Satyricon, The Black Keys, Tenacious D, Simon and Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Johnossi, The Pack A.D., Air Supply and Royal Blood. When electronic sequencers became widely available in the 1980s, this made it easier for two-member bands to add in musical elements that the two band members were not able to perform. Sequencers allowed bands to pre-program some elements of their performance, such as an electronic drum part and a synth-bass line. Two-member pop music bands such as Soft Cell, Blancmange, Yazoo and Erasure used pre-programmed sequencers." In fact, this shows why it is easier to have two-person bands when electronic music is involved. As Chubbles stated, electronic music is music made using electronic musical instruments. It isn't necessary to require a band to be analog.
 * 3) The proposal referenced a particular naming convention, but the moves do not follow from that naming convention. Dekimasu よ! 08:19, 29 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment. Reply to Dekimasu: I'm not saying a two-member band is incorrect but it's just less preferred compared to duo. Musical ensemble says two-member rock and pop bands are relatively rare and they are mostly rock and pop groups not electronic music duos that are the subjects of these move discussions. Wikipedia's preference is usually the one most commonly used. Bands play musical instruments unlike electronic musicians who use digital audio workstation (DAW) to produce their music. DAW is not a musical instrument but a computer software. As for the naming convention, it did say to use either "(band)" or "(duo)" when the musical ensemble is a duet, as in duo for the duet and band for others. That precisely supports my argument so I'm not sure why you said "the moves do not follow from that naming convention". The editor  whose username is Z0 08:48, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment the discussion for the general issue of whether electronic duos are accurately described as bands seems to be coalescing at Talk:The Ghost (Faroese band). Chubbles (talk) 10:36, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to Lamb (electronic band). (closed by non-admin page mover)  SITH   (talk)   20:26, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Lamb (band) → ? – While I note the previous discussion above, for some reason the conflicting title with Lamb (rock band) didn't come up. Optional titles could be The Lamb (duo) Lamb (duo) or The Lamb (electronic band) Lamb (electronic band) or maybe something else. Gonnym (talk) 10:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support either of the alternatives. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:36, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support A WP:PDAB fails WP:PRECISE. Lamb (British band) (like Arizona (British band)) or Lamb (Mancunian band) are also possibilities.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 20:40, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Gonnym, did you add "The" to the title options intentionally? Dekimasu よ! 18:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope. Didn't even notice til you said so. --Gonnym (talk) 18:08, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * In that case, support Lamb (electronic band). Best, Dekimasu よ! 18:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * User:Gonnym, User:In ictu oculi, User:Crouch, Swale, User:Dekimasu: I was just about to close this as moved to Lamb (electronic band) but I'm wondering about consensus for the remaining Lamb (band) page. Should it be a disambiguation page or should it be a redirect with a hatnote?  (Not commenting myself so I can remain impartial on closure.)  Many thanks,   SITH   (talk)   09:50, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I would say redirect to Lamb per WP:INCDAB. --Gonnym (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes it should indeed redirect to Lamb, we don't usually create DAB pages on qualified terms.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 14:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Same as above (Lamb). Dekimasu よ! 18:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
