Ilúvatar hippie ?

[Lilith]

Je renverrai juste au site officiel d'Iluvatar (sans accent) dont j'ai trouvé l'adresse grâce au lien de Turambar. ( http://www.iluvatar.com/ )

Et personnellement j'avoue avoir du mal à voir l'intérêt d'un groupe de rock progressif (genre dont j'ai horreur, mais ça n'engage que moi) né en 1983 et qui dit pour répondre à la question "pourquoi ce nom" :

One evening before rehearsal, our original drummer Gary Chambers happened to be poking through a copy of a book called The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien that Glenn had picked up at a yard sale somewhere. The opening page talked about a being called Iluvatar (click here to read the excerpt from the book). Gary pointed it out to everyone and we all read the first few paragraphs. The name seemed pretty unique, and it seemed appropriate for a loose modern day re-interpretation of the meaning from the book. So we decided "what the heck", we'd go with it, at least until a better idea came along. None did, so we stuck with it.

None of us have really read any more than the first page or two of the book (well, except for Gary, who had read it a number of years earlier). Looking back, we probably should have chosen another name that we did not have to repeat three times when someone asks: "What is the name of your band ?"

D'autant plus que j'ai rarement vu un groupe avec un pseudo Tolkiennien dont le texte ait moins de rapport avec Tolkien.
