I've tried a number of people at my office, a number of friends, and my (former) girlfriends. None of them got into it. The closest I came was my last ex-girlfriend liking Suite 909 a little - but not enough to want a copy or to buy the CD. I can't understand why no one else can see what I do in Yello... I don't think Yello really has to do with gender either. I see their music as icons of internationalism. It is true "world" music. There is pretty much something for everyone, 'cept the country music fans really. I also don't understand the recent survey results that had Zebra as one of the worst albums. Zebra, Pocket Universe, and Baby are my favourite albums - in that order. I absolutely love the Brazillian feel of Baby, the funky quasi-Latin feel of Zebra, and the bleeding edge audiophile quality of Pocket Universe (which is now my favourite stereo benchmarking CD). I'd also be interested to see how many Yello fans are audiophiles... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 08:39:19 +0100 From: Bekaert.T@daikin.be Subject: Fw: (yello) Yello (MP3) >I think the point is that it should be the decision of the artist (in this >case) yello, >whether they want to distribute free previews of their work this way or not. >Whether MP3s benefit them or not is not really important.

I heard a discussion on the swedish national radio yesterday where people from a couple of record companies and representatives from the musicians organisation (those who make sure that the musicians get their money when their songs are played) and they talked about the problem with music beeing spread on the Internet. These people seem to work pretty hard to hunt down those who without OK from the composers expose their music on the net. People have actually been draged into court and convicted for it. And there was also talk about makeing those who own the servers responsible. It seems that they have a staff of people who constantly are scanning the net. So when you do this, remember that it is illegal, and before it's done I think that Dieter and Boris should have their saying. If we like them, we should also respect them.

No matter what the circumstances, it would only be fair if Yello had the final word on whether their music should be previewed this way. However, the frustrating thing for us Yello fans; is that we *want* as many people as possible to enjoy Yello's music.

The age of mono recording has passed. The age of surround recording might never come. Why? Because stereo is here to stay. The tube amplifier has left but, for some of us came back. Why is that? Maybe it is because only a violin sounds like a violin. We have to face the fact we are dealing with recordings. If the quality of recording wouldn't matter, we'd all be using tape. We also have to face the possibilities of an amplifier and the wide varieties in sounds. Generally, if you never heard or thought about things as white noise, reverb, oscillation... you might never hear them but the moment you do, you know this is not a part of the original sound and want to clear it as good as possible. Signs of audiophiles: - - expensive CD player - - either very good speakers or a very good headset - - doesn't like stuff on tape. Please say you don't agree. Lets give new meaning to the word.

Regarding your question about whether Yello-fans are audiophiles, I'd like to put it this way: I've never met a Yello-fan who turned into an audiophile, but I know many audiophiles who have started digging Yello in a serious way after being introduced to their music.

The word audiophile suggests that its meaning should be "friend of sound" and that, I guess, could very well be a description of Boris, couldn't it! That meaning of the word suggests a person who loves hearing things, listening to new sounds and who's amazed by the differencies between voices.

I also read that a true audiophile ( The most obsessed one ) doesn't even use CD's. They say it makes the sound too "mechanical" and use something called "Heavy Vinyl" - it looks just like the regular Vinyl but it is up to 4 times as heavy - and provides much better sound quality. Oh and another definition to the word "audiophile": Someone who moves the Furniture AROUND the sound system to ensure that the sound doesn't distort or change.

It's been interresting to follow this thread, and I feel like joining the discussion. I guess the general thing about audiophiles is that they say they want the best equipment, with the intention to get more from the music they hear. But a thing that often shines through is their obesseion of the technique, not the music. -Ask an audiophile what he (they're mostly male) thinks about a certain song, and he gives you a long story about the equipment, and finishes off with a short remark on the song. I think most audiophiles should be labelled technophiles instead. For example, a true audiophile would never fall for MD (ATRAC) or DVD (MPEG) (or MP3 for that matter) since a certain percentage of the data has been removed to get a better compression. Nevertheless most 'audiophiles' speaks very highly about those new standards. For me an audiophile is a true fan of a group which makes 'quality' recordings. Like Yello, Boris' perfectionsim sounds very clear, even on my cheap audio equipment, and that's part of why I like Yello so much. - - no more words - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 17:04:09 EST From: FGriego@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) New Meaning Fred's Dictionary defines audiophiles as : stereo types Enough on that please.

I have two questions: 1. What, if anything, is the title meant to mean??! 2. Does anyone else note a close resemblance to the work of seminal 1970s British heavy metal band Deep Purple (especially the organ and screaming)? Is the song meant as a tribute to/parody of Purple? If nothing else, these might be interesting questions for Jonas to ask Boris if he sees him again!

Thanks. I don't want that the very new songs are illegally available, but I think it is okay if some rarities are illegally available among the fans only. I have four songs available at "ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/culture/music/western/ Yello/songs/". This place is mentioned at Yello homebase as "Yello FTP site" or such. Below is the README file --- look at discographies of Lazlo and Jonas for more. gluehead.mp3 - ------------ According to Jonas's discography, this is "Gluehead 2:37 [last 8 seconds missing]" but it also could be "I.T. Splash 2:37" as in Lazlo's discography. However, lyrics in the song has "Splash". I would trust in Jonas and his sources anyway. ily.mp3 - ------- This is "I Love You 3:11", the single version (similar to video version). rubbwest.mp3 - ------------ This is "Rubber West 3:30". vicgames.mp3 - ------------ This is "Vicious Games (Remix) 3.11 [remix engineer Nick Launay; remix producer Ian Tregoning]". It is similar to Vicious Remix by the same guys even they are quite different. Both starts with Haunted House laughing. I have better sounding copies (from different vinyls) for those "I Love You" and "Vicious Games". *But* in the better ILY the "I Love You" lyrics is missing at the beginning where there is no music on the background. Shall I upload them? Jonas, have you noticed this minor difference? The songs otherwise are exactly the same. Must be some editing problem when those different vinyls were released.

An interview may help to answer those questions: Seconds Out By Paul Mathur Melody Maker, June 1987 "... You mean something like "Si Senor, The Hairy Grill"? "That one was inspired by 'Spinal Tap', my favourite film ever. A hairy grill seemed to be exactly the sort of thing they'd want. One DJ in Germany played it but misread the title and called it 'Si Senor, The Hairy Girl'. I don't know what he thought it was about. Come to think of it, that's an even better title."

Here`s the Top Ten favourite Yello tracks - as voted for by 27 people on this mailing list. (All mixes and remixes are counted as one song here). 1st - Tied Up - 46pts 2nd - Sweet Thunder - 41pts 2= - Pinball Cha Cha - 41pts 4th - The Race - 37pts 5th - Haunted House - 35pts 5= - Desire - 35pts 5= - Jungle Bill - 35pts 8th - Night Train - 34pts 8= - On Track - 34pts 10th - Live At The Roxy - 29pts So `Tied Up` makes it as the overall favourite, even though only one person, Eric Schader, voted it as his outright no.1. Perhaps `Tied Up` won because of all those remixes it has, which may suit many different tastes? No-one voted `Pinball Cha Cha` or `Sweet Thunder` as their no. 1 but they were mentioned high up on seven or eight peoples` lists. Nigel Allen and Oleg Yanshin voted `The Race` as their favourite track and it racked up a few points with other people as well. Julzmon and Dan Mastous rated the infamous `Haunted House` their no.1. `Desire` scored a large amount of 5`s and 6`s. Daniel and Joroen Broekhuizen put `Jungle Bill` at the top of their lists. `Night Train` scored consistantly well, as did `Live At The Roxy` (various mixes). Olaf voted `On Track` as his favourite Yello. Right. What follows now is the next 50 favourites in descending order:- 11 La Habanera - 28pts 11= L`Hotel 11= Si Senor The Hairy GRILL(!) 14 Let Me Cry - 24pts 14= Lost Again 14= Blender 14= She`s Got A Gun 18 Call It Love - 23pts 19 Koladi Ola - 21pts 20 The Evening`s Young - 20pts 20= Smile On You 20= I.T. Splash 23 Stanztrigger - 18pts 23= To The Sea 23= Of Course I`m Lying 26 Moon On Ice - 17pts 26= The Rhythm Divine 28 Pan Blue - 16pts 28= On The Run 30 Blazing Saddles - 15pts 30= Great Mission 30= Night Flanger 33 Resistor - 13pts 33= I Love You 33= Pumping Velvet 33= Sometimes 33= Goldrush 33= Otto Di Catania 39 Bostich - 12pts 39= You Gotta Say Yes... 39= Capri Calling 42 Celsius - 10pts 42= Oh Yeah 42= Beyond Mirrors 45 Tremendous Pain - 9pts 45= Suite 909 45= RubberBandMan 48 How How - 8pts 48= Do It 48= Ciel Ouvert 48= Dr. Van Steiner 48= Domingo 48= Gluehead 48= Move Dance Be Born 55 Drive/Driven - 7pts 55= Poom Shanka 55= Ocean Club 55= The Lorry 59 Homer Hossa - 6pts 59= No More Roger One more bit of analysing. From the above top 60 I`ve worked out the favourite album by adding up all of the song points. if a song features on more than one album then I`ve given it`s points to the FIRST album on which it appeared. Get me? One Second - 161pts Baby - 151pts Flag - 129pts Gotta Say Yes... - 121pts Claro Que Si - 104pts Pocket Universe - 101pts Stella - 95pts Zebra - 83pts Solid Pleasure - 44pts # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ End of yello-digest V2 #21 **************************
