The cEvin Key Game

so, a couple years ago, i made up a music game to play in my head that basically lets me flex my music knowledge muscles. it's set up like the Kevin Bacon game, in that you link a musician back to cEvin Key (of Skinny Puppy / Download / Cyberaktiv / etc.), via albums.  I don't bother trying to do it in six links, though, but i do have fairly stringent rules for myself to make it harder.

here are my rules:

• Links are by person, not by band. 
  In other words, your link would be

  Martin Atkins » Ogre » cEvin Key

  and not

  Pigface » Skinny Puppy

  It's ok to link by band, though, if the whole band in that link can be considered a unit, and it doesn't shorten the chain.
  
• Links are only on released albums.
  This does include things that were released in promo but then not released officially (e.g. the Die Warzau "All Good Girls" single). This does not include bands playing together live, unless it was recorded and released. So, even though Joe Satriani toured with Deep Purple, that's not a valid link, since it was not released. (At this point, i do not count bootleg recordings, by the way.)
  » Recordings released to the internet only do not count.  "Released" here means physical releases only.
  
• Links are valid only if both people are on the same song/track.
  In other words, finding some crazily eclectic/obscure compilation won't necessarily help you link, since these links are supposed to be collaborations.  The same applies to dj mix albums.
  » Remixes and producer credits count, though I personally try to avoid them if possible.

Use/ignore whichever rules you like, though -- these are for myself, as i said.  Do it however you want.  :)
