Has anyone had any luck at a record store? I placed an order this morning for the Squeeze Please single. Should be here in a couple of weeks, but I am never too sure whether or not to trust them. This was at HMV here in Brisbane by the way. They didn't have Motion Picture on their list yet, but if they manage to get the single in, they should eventually be able to get the full cd in. Rocking Horse Records in the city didn't know anything about it. (But I did manage to pick up Stellar Supreme, by Cosmic Baby, which I had been searching for for 3 years, so the trip wasn't wasted. Great album).

Dieter Meier appeared as a guest. He talked with Harald for about 5 minutes. Dieter appeared very relaxed and self-assured. Harald Schmidt tried to do jokes about the Swiss tardiness, but Dieter did not follow this jokes. Example: when they came to Dieter's daughter's favourite music style techno, Harald said: Techno goes like boom-boom-boom-boom-boom, in Switzerland it's more like booom - booom - booom - booom - Dieter gave a short review of his activities: 1st single was 'cry for fame' on Peripheric Perfume - Appeared in Swiss magazine 'Life & Style'; Harald showed two pages with four homes of Dieter; Dieter said, that he is not the owner of all 4 homes; he considers them as garages for his projects - Dieter is still working on movie now named 'lightmaker'. Funny thing is, that as the production lasts over 10 years now, the actors also get older; now he is creating the soundtrack for the movie - Dieter is the father of 4 childresn, the eldest one is a 15 year old daughter. She likes Techno - When he started with yello, they thought of beeing 'verwurzelte provinzielle Dilletanten'. [Maybe somebody has an idea how to translate this]. They never had plans to become famous or even trendsetters for music. I did some screenshots from my TV, the quality is not so good, but I think, you can get an impression.

Yesterday was a wonderful day, an excellent Jane Siberry concert and "Motion Picture" arriving through my letterbox. It's a sad reflection on a country that has always considered itself some kind of epicentre for "pop" music that this CD is not even being released here. So I've managed to give it six or seven listenings (I recorded it onto minidisc last night so I could listen to it cycling into work) and yet again Yello fail to disappoint, they're just streets ahead of anyone else working in this field (with the exception of Kraftwerk, though Mouse on Mars and To Rococo Rot increasingly bode well for the future). Favourite Track ? - well yes "Houdini" is very good. I do have a penchant for "Shake and Shiver" and "Point Blank" but the whole CD is wonderful. I used to DJ years ago, at all nighters at the Scala Cinema here in London. I would always play Yello. I go to clubs very rarely now and most of the places in London its not exactly de rigueur to make requests. Still a place that likes to think of itself as so hip can't remain in ignorance of music of this quality for much longer......... can it ??

Sorry, Yello website thinks Lynx is not a good enough at viewing text parts of the Motion Picture pages. That is, can't get the track titles. (Lynx is able to view text but frames too! I simply don't understand webmakers why they even bother to write texts like "Sorry. Only with Frames here." --- tell me at least one webbrowser which cannot show frames! It is not the Lynx.) Your suggestion "get on", turns out to be too repeative in this contest but I always listen to it first! Heh, it is good as well. "Shake and shiver" must be my second favourite. "Point Blank" has great sounds and great mode. I think Point Blank borrowed one rhythm melody from Tremendous Pain/Hell Mix -- check it out! (Anyone has Hell Mix as mp3 or such?)

You have all been very fun and interesting people to chat with, teaching me many valuable things regarding the love of music and technology. I will definitely miss all of the silly flame wars and annoying post questions that had been mentioned fifty million times before (;-) . It felt damn good to be part of four groups of individuals who respect the masters of the music game the same way that I do. I don't know for sure when I'll be back online; maybe within the next three to six months. I really have no idea what the fuck the future holds, but so far I see plenty of recording, traveling, and meeting lots of new people. If I get to be stationed in Germany, I might plan on bringing some friends over to see Kraftwerk at Expo 2000. Anyways, I want to keep it short and sweet, so let me just say that I love all you guys and that I will miss you all very much from the bottom of my heart. God Bless all of you forever. :-) Josh E.

For some reason Zebra is most popular CD here. I know Zebra was blamed at the time but it is not that bad. My wife said the new album is a bit slack compared to Zebra when I played Zebra to get change from MP. All Yello albums have had been good but I always get ideas on what the next album should have differently! I just love those sweeping vocal morph (whatever) sounds on MP. Zebra has them at least in Move Dance Be Born, PU has them, and now MP. Boris mentioned Supernova and Nord Lead synths in the recent chat but I'm not sure if they do the thing. Anyone? By the way, I downloaded immediately manuals for both of them. Check www.novationusa.com and www.clavia.se. Even if you have some other modular synth or softsynth such as Csound, you could pick up a few thousand Nord Modular patches --- the file format seems to be plain ascii and it is documented. But anyone know how those vocal morphs actually works? Weblinks would be nice too.

(A very long title for a book!) I thought they had something interesting to say about our favorite group, Yello. I quote: Yello Rare is the person who owns any album by this music group. Rarer still is the person who doesn't recognize the mechanized, guttural "Oh yeah" and "Chk, chka-chkk-aahh" from it's one known song, featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Secret of My Success, Twix commercials, and uncountable sporting events. See also Bueller, Ferris So I looked up the see also reference Quote: Bueller, Ferris A hero. See also Hughes, John They didn't even put a photo of Boris and Dieter next to the entry and do you really think of Yello's music and mechanized and guttural?

Rarer still is | the person who doesn't recognize the mechanized, guttural "Oh yeah" and | "Chk, chka-chkk-aahh" from it's one known song, featured in Ferris Bueller's | Day Off, The Secret of My Success, Twix commercials, and uncountable | sporting events. See also Bueller, Ferris Well... some people might have heard the track "The Race" as well, don't you think? Sporting events, commercials, movies... :) Don't know who wrote this, but I'm not quite sure his local copy of "Collective Unconscious" is totally up to date Tracks from "Motion Pictures" are already being used as background music on a popular morning show on the biggest local radio here in Norway. And I just stopped by a new documentary (or something) on the TV with tracks from "Baby" as music throughout the program. And... wow(!)... Yello's great album "Motion Picture" is this weeks fastest climbing in the official charts for Norway. Up from 39 to 21 since last week. Interesting to see more people are getting it. There's also a comment regarding Yello, I'll post it later...

Subject: (yello) OT: More Computer Stuff Date: 11 Nov 1999 01:34:44 GMT Well, I apologize if this topic bored some of you out there the first time it was mentioned, but that's what you have delete buttons for. ;-P Anyways, as I had talked about before, I had waged the war in my head about converting to Mac over PC (especially in regards to music making). Although I will keep my PC for now, it will definitely go in the closet once I get my hands on my new Mac system soon. But there's just one problem. :-0 I originally said that I would start saving up for a G4 tower, but now the new iMac DV systems have really caught my attention. The new iMac DV's have now inlcuded all of the features that I originally wanted in the first editions : 350 or 400 G3 Processors 100 Mhz System Bus 64 or 128 MB RAM 2 Fire Wire Ports 6, 10, 0R 13GB Ultra ATA Drives 8 MB Video RAM ATI Rage 128 Card (2x AGP) 4x DVD-ROM Harmon Kardon speakers iMovie video software Plus, I've always wanted to get into video editing. I've been thinking of building a site to house all of my rare Art Of Noise footage on, but I don't have a video capture device. So now the debate is, which one should I buy ? To paraphrase a statement made by Apple, they said that you would only need a G4 over an iMac if you needed a bigger monitor (??? Monitors are sold separately from the G4 towers), needed PCI expansion, or if you needed more than a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. Surely that'a a faulty statement. I like the iMac because it's truly plug-and-play, and everything is so compact and easily accessible (ever have to change an audio cable from the back of a large tower case ? It's quite a bitch when you have little room to move around !!!!). Plus, I love the flavors (hey, when will we see a Lemon model ?) :-) But I want the G4 for its brute-strength processing. Either way, both models will be faster than the newest Pentiums (according to Apple's tests LOL) . So what do you Mac Addicts think ? : New iMac, or new G4 ? BTW : I know that there are USB MIDI boxes available for the Mac, but are there any full-fledged USB audio cards/boxes out there ? I know that Roland and Edirol released their UA-100 Audio Canvas, but its interface software is specifically for PC. I really want to start doing 24-bit recording. Thanks again for putting up with my long-ass posts. ;-P NoiseWerker - "For God So Loved The World He ICQ # 42651237 Created The Roland TB-303" Bless You All. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Paprboy698@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) OT: More Computer Stuff Date: 11 Nov 1999 00:28:02 EST To give you insight on whether you'll be better off with a PC vs. a G4 will depend on how much you "work" system. I use both platforms and both operate differently depending on what you use them for. The PC will generally work fine, and has the most video/capture/edit software titles available, and may be the way to go if you have little money to invest. However, Windows is notoriously famous for freezing up on you, and you'll need to run NT on the PC if you expect to work non-stop without interruptions. The G4 is designed to be a clydesdale/quarterhorse combo-speed, and a bulletproof operating system. Apple is great (although not yet as cheap as PCs) for video, and IMHO, the quality is superior, and the processors are more efficient. It'll be a big decision for you especially if you intend to dump a lot of $$$ into your set up. My advice would be to talk to a few video pros in the industry who use each system to help you decide what's best for you. They'll know what works, and what doesn't.

They are completely dancable to my mind (and I've been quite a keen clubber in my time) and yet they don't get played. I believe this is because they have "too much" personality in their music, which leads DJs too consider them a commercial/pop act. If only their music was completely instrumental and nondescript eh?

Dieter Meyer and Boris Blank in swiss Yello still attracts people/buyers with their ("cinematic"? "movielike"?) kind of music. Not at all unfair, when knowing Yello was far ahead of their time for a lot of years." Hmm... This newspaper definitely thinks Yello is not ahead anymore.

They need to stop. I really do not like the new album very much. I own a lot of Yello, I was one of the very few that liked Pocket Universe and Zebra tremendously. I think these two albums are their strongest works followed closely by Baby. Now, let me sum up the good points about Motion Picture: The following tracks are okay (in my order, best to weakest): Point Blank, Get On, Squeeze Please, Houdini As for the rest... they are perhaps the weakest Yello tunes I've ever heard. I am not happy with this new album at all. In past experience, I was happy with every new album that came along immediately. Now, as a fairly die hard fan, I will continue to listen to this new album and hope I will "see the light" eventually, since I feel as if I *must* like it basically because it's Yello. I have not received my fix. :P # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Juhana Sadeharju Subject: Re: (yello) NEW KRAFTWERK SINGLE - 12/6/99 Date: 12 Nov 1999 19:57:21 +0200 >From: "Juno ." > >K R A F T W E R K - E X P O 2 0 0 0 Hey, grow up!

Sure you are! I'm also interested in Kraftwerk but I think we should respect the charter of the mailing list and not post non-Yello mails here. It is ok if we compare Yello and Kraftwerk or such (see the recent article series on what else music Yello fans listens to). But that Kraftwerk announce had nothing to do with Yello, period. I'm sure there are more glueless people like you who don't mind crossposting and charters, but you all can grow up to respect other readers! If my tone is rather unrespective, it is only because you're just looking at a mirror and see how unrespective mails were posted. I'm interested in Kraftwerk and I'm interested in audio software/hardware, but we should take them elsewhere. >On the other mailing lists I subscribe to people frequently discuss or >mention information regarding artists other than the one that's the direct >subject of the list and nobody tells them to "grow up".

But I love "Baby" all the same. Baby is incredible! Full, clean acoustic sound. That's why it ranks in my top three Yello albums. I would say that of the three I mentioned, they are my favourite in this order: Zebra, Pocket Universe, and Baby. But don't misunderstand, all three of these are nearly equal in my book and all get nearly equal playing time (with Zebra edging out slightly). Zebra has to be the best album ever, in my opinion. Night Train is simple fabulous! I really enjoyed Pocket Universe's experiemental/conceptual feel. It was really original, cutting edge stuff. It still is very, very unique even two and a half years later. But Motion Picture isn't really all that ground breaking. When I listen to Yello albums, each one progresses. Motion Picture is the first album that doesn't seem to really go anywhere. It's more of a rehash or "fresh look" at older concepts and older sounds. This is what disappointed me. I was expecting something "all new". While the songs themselves are new, the sound they provide isn't necessarily.

I hear sounds and musical phrases in Pocet U that date back to Claro Que Si. This album is new to me. It's much jazzier and housier than ever before. Night train is one of my very favorites too. Well just my thoughts are Yello always sounds like Yello. No matter what.

Crossposting of junk is a pain, true, but we need to get things in perspective here...we're talking about Kraftwerk, here. This news should be on the main national news broadxast, never mind the Yello list. I've grown tired of the authoritarian introspectivity of this list over the last year, and I only stay tuned for news of the band. I doubt whether Yello live in their own little world where people aren't allowed to talk about anything other than the one subject which brought them together - Yello music. They'd probably be pretty disparaging of such a rule/charter-dominated fan list. They are artists...they experiment and draw influences from around them. They have their ears and eyes open to what's going on in the world. That's how they make such great music. It's a pity this list is dominated by such a parochial attitude. > And? The point!?

Here is my opinion about this album. First of all, this album is GREAT, as other Yello albums. Motion Picture proves another time that Boris never repeats himself. I don't know why do some of you think that this album sounds like 80s' albums. I didn't notice anything which would be comparable to Flag, One Second and other albums. The only exception is Squeeze Please (this is the reason why this composition is more a hit than any others). Of course, there is something reminding old times. It's maybe more complicated structure of sounds than in Pocked Universe. It can remind 80s. But the kind of sounds totally changed. It's more "new" than "old" Yello. But it's STILL Yello. The music became less melodic and less ironic, if you know what i mean. But it became cooler and more rhythmic. This is the great music for dance. Listening to this album, it's impossible not to move a body. For anyone who loves Yello, this album is perfect. One of the most attractive traits of Yello is that you never know what kind of music they will produce the next time. You always expect something new and surprising. And finally you get it. Motion Picture is very good confirmation of it! Best, Olga - *Today's joke* A little boy came to a circus with his father. A compere has come to area and announced, "Now you will see deadly piece! Our acrobat will jump down into the barrel of water from the dome!" Than the acrobat came. He was lifted up to the dome. All the spectators have standed still. Than the acrobat jumped down into the barrel and took leave. Little boy. "Dad, i don't understand one thing. This piece was called deadly but noone has died... Dad, what's the matter with you??!!

Naughty, yes, but when it (eventually??) gets released in UK I faithfully promise to get the CD so Dieter can buy some golf tees or something. Anyway... after initial hmmm? Oh yeah? and ahhh... I gotta say YES! First impression was that it was a little samey, at least mood-wise. Not one quarter as "wacky" and absurdist as some of their other albums, but for me that's a good thing as I always preferred their classy side; Lost Again, not Bananas To The Beat etc. The beats are fairly non-pacey. I'd heard people saying it was a return to the Yello of old but I disagree. Only the single sounds like old stuff and to my mind it's the worse track on the album! I'm glad they have delved into the slinkier, deeper side of techno rather than slamming up the BMPs as they did with tracks like Resistor (too undignified!) Actually tracks like "Houdini" remind me of Fluke (though Fluke pinched Yello's style first of course). A big difference on this album is Boris's (slightly disappointing) use of fairly generic techno-ish sounds. This is evident on Distant Mirror though then again this is one of my favourites tracks. I love "Point Blank"! Very classy indeed and it really moves along and creates one of those famous "sound-pictures", as does the incredible "Cyclops". Despite the rather inappropriate image of a giant mythical one-eyed monster, this is music to shake the end of the 20th century! Someone said that they wish Yello's music could appear in something other than crappy films. Indeed. Tracks like this one and "Sweet Thunder" are crying out to be soundtracks for something suitably epic. All in all MP, like PU, shines when Yello look forward and not back.

Couldn't agree more - you sum up my thoughts about the album completely. There are a few tracks that remind me of Fluke's "Techno Rose Of Blighty", and some of the vocals from the "Oto" album, and I still think (after several listens) Squeeze Please is the worst track on the album. When I heard it for the first time, my thought was "NO!! Boris, you're too talented to put out another wacky latino-dance-trombone-thing that sounds not quite like "The Race" ... and it did take me a few listens to "get" the album proper. But on the whole it is a very good album ... probably not as good as PU, but you can't have everything. But it's still better than "Baby" and "Zebra" which in my mind are still the two most disappointing albums although there are a couple of fabulous moments and tracks on both of these ... and it was nice to seem them getting darker again after the frivolous "Baby". Favourite track on the album at the moment: "Croissant Bleu". Going through a rather French phase at the moment ... probably listening to Air's "Moon Safari", and Laila France's "Orgonon" too much ... or is it the cheese? ... :) Old Dieter really should do more vocals in French ... he sounds really cool, very sophisticated ... although maybe if he did we wouldn't get new words in the English language like "uniwerse" (see "Domingo") ... which would be a pity.

At first I didn't like it, I thought they were just retreading old ground...... but now I actually like it a great deal. It's interesting however to hear how other people's opinions differ though. "Baby" is just about my favourite Yello album apart from "Stella" and a measure of how much I now like "MP" is that I'd say it's their best album since "Baby". I think Air sound like elevator music to be frank........ but I do like the Laila France album (though I've always been a big Momus fan anyway).

Is it "foreigner" French or is he in a comfort zone?? Interesting how there seem to be two camps of thought where Baby & Zebra are concerned. My thoughts concerning these two releases for years has been that Boris needs an outside producer. Sort of an, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" thing. I too went through a period of closet disappointment the first few listens then had the songs grow on me. I have always regarded jazz as sort of pompous and snooty but decided the jazzy parts were thoughtful and not without a sense of humor. The "Babylon" track stands out musically though some of the rhymes make me uncomfortable. Trite? Mundane? not sure-rarely do lyrics affect me but they just seem awkward. That Blender song on Baby was a good example of the same sentiment. I like the croissant song too. Is it about food? Hope not.

That's a fairly sure sign that it will become a firm favourite. > I like the croissant song too. Is it about food? Hope not.

I would like to hear if there is some good reason for it -- is it made much earlier than other tracks? Or were it added after hearing that there is a similar song (with respect to mambo rhythm, whatever) at top ten quite recently? >glad they have delved into the slinkier, deeper side of techno rather than >slamming up the BMPs as they did with tracks like Resistor (too I don't see similarities between those two. >undignified!)

There I remember him saying that the vocal line was pretty much done in one take and of course that his Italian was by no means perfect. I would imagine therefore that the same applies with "Croissant Bleu" and that he would argue that if he'd tried to perfect his French the performance itself would have lost something in the process.

I ordered from FrontStage too...both MP and the Squeeze Pleaze single. They mailed me yesterday to say that MP was on the way after a 3 week wait (it was being backordered) and that Squeeze was still being waited for. They've been good at staying in touch and I am quite impressed, even though the delivery has been relatively slow. It'll probably arrive today or tomorrow, so fear not Mike!

While my local music shops don't expect to see Motion Picture without special ordering it, I see that it is now available on CDNOW.com for $20.99, which isn't too bad for an import. I've had a good experience with cdnow in the past, so I would recommend them. davy davy@mayer.net # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert B" Subject: (yello) Motion Picture $9.95 in USA.. read on Date: 26 Nov 1999 12:33:37 -0600 Even though I overall am unimpressed with Motion Picture, I decided to apply my bargain huntin' skillz to finding an inexpensive way to order MP in the USA. As it turns out, Buy.com has MP for $19.95. They are offering free shipping for the rest of the year. They also have coupons. $10 off any order.

I have two days of VMS operating system upgrades, hardware and reclustering, this will be the accompaniment! regards all, nic -- -- We are the architects, not the victims, of our own destiny -- -- nic nic at python demon co uk http://www.python.demon.co.uk/ -- -- Bolton, UK website http://www.bolton.org.uk/ -- -- Warning!

Date: 01 Dec 1999 00:02:54 +0200 EUREKA!!! 17 days after placing the order, Motion Picture is here! I've only given it the one playing so far and my verdict is BRILLIANT!!! WONDERFUL!!! WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Why this gem is not available in the UK, I'll never know. There's such a haunting mix of albums from the past which crops up in many of the tracks. It gives me a warm comfortable feeling. Like meeting up with old friends. Outstanding tracks first off have to be Houdini, Squeeze Please (which I feel fits perfectly within this production), Shake and Shiver and Point Blank. My tastebuds were aroused from the mono samples downloaded from the net. And to hear them now in full blown stereo reminds me of the time I had my ears syringed... when everything became so crystal clear and sharp. I'll need a few more plays to be more specific on reviewing. There's only one thing that bothers me. Normally when you play an album for the first time there are a few great tracks and the rest grow on you with time. But with this one........... I love them all!!! Either they will get boring or I will reach cosmic ecstasy! Here's hoping for the latter! Was all that a bit over the top? Aw.... what the hell. I'm happy! I'm gonna Move..... Dance..... Be born....... AGAIN!!! Mike -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o You liked them before..... you'll love them now!
