Someone has likened Yello songs to soundtracks to movies - well, that's almost true, but you dno't really need the movie. The best example of this is "The Race", my personal favorite. On the surface its a great bass tester and is a great driving tune. Then you listen to it a few times and notice the amount of layering involved in the song - in some places I count over 12 separate beats/effects going at once - it's a real aural treat. Then you listen to it with your mind's eye and see the movie the "soundtrack" was made for. Your opinion may vary, but this is what I got out of it: A race car driver, full of confidence, brags to reporters "Count on me, I'm gonna win the race". But in the back of his mind an unease sets over him. Is he really as good as he thinks he is? (rhum badi bum a wit da ring do) The cars start out, and for a while all is good - he's holding his own, maybe making progress towards the front. This is the "driving" part of the song - a little bit of looping here, but nothing that makes you think "extend-a-mix". Back to the movie: Then, doubt attacks his mind. "I need this race!" His heart is pounding, his nerves tuned way past normal human reflexes. He must be in like second or third place, and the race is almost over. It's now or never. The pressure to succeed rises like some monstrous beast in his heart. Then, a strange calm comes over him. He is one with his car, and at peace with himself. He's not doing this for the reporters anymore, or his fans, or his sponsors. He races for himself now. The hawaiian guitar kicks in (?). And now we hear his immortal words, in his gravelly voice: "I am the fast lane of the street I'm driving. Somewhere, sometime, I am arriving - every day, and every night." Maybe he's taken the lead, and the success of it, or the open road ahead of him that inspires this rush. Maybe the pure, sweet allure of 300+ km/h is what causes this. We don't know. Then, in true movie style, rounding the last corner and sprinting for the finish line, disaster strikes. It could be an exploding tire. It could be his steering, or his engine. It doesn't matter. The screaming guitar tells it all - his car spins out of control, the crowd leaps to its feet, screaming, and Boom - he hits the wall and writes off his car. We don't know if he lives or not... Anyways, short essay version: I see a man driven by some incredibly powerful desire, or maybe he's trying to find redemption for something by winning this race. He loses the race, but wins something else - peace with himself. ---------------- One other thing, as a footnote almost, about most Yello songs - they do not lend themselves to remixing easily. Take a listen to any Yello song, and imagine where you could cut it and loop a sequence over and over again. Even a song like Oh Yeah, which at first glance looks like they set the drum machine on auto-repeat and went for coffee, is quite complex. In almost every remix of Yello songs, they have to be almost re-written from scratch, and just re-use the samples. Compare this with a song by Madonna for instance, that can be cut in any number of places and stitched back in seamlessly. I can do it with my humble home computer and Microsoft's Wav Editor and I can't tell where the splices are. With Yello, there is much more forethought involved in the song. I really really like it a lot. -Trav! --- "Daddy, why do those people have to use Microsoft Windows?"

Here's what Dieter said in 1989: "The character’s name is Snootie Paulson. He’s the guy who wants something but instead of starting somewhere and really doing it, he dreams of it. Snootie Paulson takes this steering wheel and sits in his chair in his room and dreams of winning ‘the big race’ - but he’s not even started a race on a bicycle. This is the mistake most young artists make, they always think of doing something fabulous insted of doing something very small and unimportant that’s right for them. It’s like climbing a mountain - of course it’s fabulous to be on top of Mount Everest, but doing it starts with lifting your first foot. In the video a charcter comes in and pulls Snootie Paulson back from his dream and says ‘OK I give you a prize, now come back to the real world’ - and his name is Willie Ratio. [Music Technology 1/89]" You also wrote: > In almost every remix of Yello songs, they have to be almost > re-written from scratch, and just re-use the samples. I have a funny store to tell: remixers are often quite surprised to find out that when Yello's tapes arrive, someone forgot to include the track sheets (the list of what sound is on each track). They phone back only to be told that there are no! Boris is not using track sheets. Now this wouldn't be *that* strange if it was a 16-track tape or so - but we're talking about over 100 tracks here!! By the way, don't expect the "mystery" album before February next year. I will give you all the details before it's out (unless Roger is faster).

I was thinking along these lines when I was recently listening to "To The Sea" and noticing how simplistic the music sounded in comparison to other Yello tracks. (A comparison to a Madonna track would not be unreasonable, though even Madonna, with help from William Orbit, is getting more complex.) It wouldn't hold up well as an instrumental.

I did record the How How (The Premix) to computer and cut the patterns to separate waves. I wrote a kind of tracksheet since I wanted to re-assemble the song by using the remix samples only.

Is it Yellos worst album? I think 'least best' is better than 'worst'. It has good moments on it...'On Track' is excellent and anything with Stine Nordenstamm's considerable talent on is worth a listen. I like it least of all the Yello LPs but I like it more than many other 'Techno Classics'. My favourite Yello LP is one made up of all my favourite tracks from the various LPs...oh, go on then, I'll plump for 'You Gotta Say Yes'.

However, i have to say i've been playing it a bit recently on the CD-ROM Drive of my PC when working. Considering i though it was utter rubbish when i first bought it, my views have changed after playing it quite a bit. I tend to think of Pocket Universe as; a) Yello's attempts at being a Techno band, either seriously or non-seriously.I like to think they recorded it as a piss-take of the Techno genre b) The result of Yello being a bit bored one day, going into the studio and knocking something out as quickly as possible before further boredom set in. Although i have got to like Pocket Universe quite a bit, it is in no way classic Yello. I am still undecided as to whether One Second or Stella is classic Yello. Forced to make a choice it would be One Second. However, poor though Pocket Universe is, it's still a hell of a lot better than stuff such as the UNKLE album, that has been raved about, but in my opinion is complete rubbish (I'm sure that comment may cause some replies to wing their way my way). My view is that Yello made Pocket Universe as a stop gap for the next album which, given the length of time they take to record, should be with us in the next Millenium and will probably be a real stonker.

My name's Vinnie and I run a large Residents website but am also a big Yello fan too (as "Solid Pleasure" originally appeared on The Residents' Ralph label I've being into them for a while). As a UK fan I get pissed off that singles like "To The Sea" and "On Track" aren't properly released here, especially as I consider "Pocket Universe" to be their best album since "One Second", still, that's record companies for you. > Well, I thought there would be frivolous excitement and discussion > about the forthcoming album.. But there you go.... Not if it's a remix album. I'm fed up of hearing constant retreads of "The Race". It's 10 years old now and, judging by all the films and ads it pops up in, it seems to be the track which has pigeonholed the band to a dangerous degree. I was so happy to hear all the 80's style brass and rhythm guitar dropped for "PU", this is the way forward!

If anything they are more complex, deep, mysterious and shiver inducing. Personally I've always liked the more classy "serious" side of Yello rather than the "Bananas To The Beat" / "Oh Yeah" kind of stuff, so I really love most of the "PU" album. To be honest I really despaired over "Zebra". I thought that they really couldn't carry on in the same direction after that and I was so glad when they didn't. They shouldn't need all these remixers, they always do it better themselves. I would like to go for a night out and hear pure Yello being played again in the big clubs. > From: "Shane Foss" > Subject: (yello) Madonna Poket Universe William Orbit > With the Help of William Orbit, Madonnas Most Recent Offering "Ray of Light" > Was EPIC Compared To Pocket Universe. > Only Opinion.

I think part of the reason for this is that there's quite a bit of good electronica being released these days. Yello used to have the field almost entirely to themselves. If anything, Pocket Universe is a blending of current electronica trends with the musical skills of Yello. If I was disappointed, it was because they didn't try to do something *different* from the rest of the field. Still enjoyable music, still Yello, but not innovative.

I think Boris is so independent and has his own musical ideas. He stands out. The only song that sounds mainstream to me made by Yello is the "Suite 904 alternative vocal".

I love the album, in fact I have it on right now listening to my favourite tune, "More"! A strange thing happened to me concerning this album. At first I didn't like it at all, I thought most of the songs were too similar and it lacked high points. But then something strange happened. After a few hearings I suddenly discovered a lot of diferent sounds and melodies that I just couldn't get out of my head. Now I simply have to listen to it once a day, at least. Some of the tracks are among the most atmospheric Yello has made, in my opinion, especially "Monolith and "Celsius"". Sorry for going on about this, but PU was such a nice surprise to me when I discovered its secrets.

Anyone who is aquainted with them might, have suspected that I was kind of jesting. I have to admit that I was - even though I quite liked their first single. I was quite shocked by how many people thought I was being deadly serious. If we are laying our cards on the table; I have to say that the older the Yello albums are - the worse they are. There must be a reason why I listen to 'Pocket Universe' more often than I do 'Claro Que Si.'. Infact I cannot remember when I last listened to any of their early stuff. "Yello's past is in the future" we musn't forget - and I believe that at the heart of Yello - is the acceptance of "newness" and change. In this day and age where it very easy to be cynical and to grow old "quickly," Yello continue to lay down the challenge to everyone who listens to them... 'Can you drop your ego - and admit you're wrong?'...... The tough thing for Yello to acheive is to not only be modern and relevant; but not to be disposable and condemned to the bin of one-hit-wonders. I'd love to have discussions about how Yello ties in with evolutionary psychology but there has to be much more to Yello for them to last this long at the arse-end of the 20th Century.

Date: 10 Nov 1998 16:09:49 +0100 Hoi! Pocket Universe is an incredible gathering of arranged sounds, taking me into a totally new dimension when it comes to Yello aswell as when it comes to Techno. The only thing 'wrong' with the album is that I want to hear all the tracks in a row if I play it. For me it's not an album I'll pick some tracks from for just a quick listen (something I can do with the other Yello-albums). So I don't hear it that often. If you listen to it, you can impossibly deny that the sound carries specific Yello-vibrations in it (aswell as the compositions). It is most deffinitely not a techno-album as I know it (and as a DJ/Musician I own really a lot of those). It's techno-influenced Yello the same as there are tracks with latin-influences and jazz- influences and so on. I think they could (and should have) even have taken it a step further, whithout destroying their own identity. Hope they'll try some experiment in that direction one day. They're new to the field of house-music, so naturally they'll have to learn and expand. It would be too bad to see a superskilled artist like Boris not using the opportunity to grasp all styles of music at hand and melt them into Yello giving me the chance to experience a more holistic feeling of energy and life. Fortunately he chooses to keep experimenting and surprising me with one astonishing product after another (if I don't die of old age in between albums ;o) ). Yello has always evolved, so why should it stop now... Groeven, Olaf. P.S. The ftp is comming back up soon I hope (different structure). Due to some virusses being planted on my pc through the net I first have to find a non-NT sollution (maybe a firewall, anyone any experience with that?). # 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: Nathan Lloyd Subject: FW: (yello) The Yello Act Section 4(b) Date: 10 Nov 1998 17:02:42 +0000 # 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: "Daniel Svensson" Subject: (yello) http://www.totalrecall.de/artists/49.htm Date: 10 Nov 1998 18:43:25 +0100 I hope you have seen this page http://www.totalrecall.de/artists/49.htm # 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: "Serge Shakhov" Subject: (yello) PU: my opinion Date: 11 Nov 1998 06:40:56 +0500 Hello Nathan Lloyd writes > For me it is the worst Album Yello have ever produced > It would be interesting to hear other peoples thoughts on Pocket > Universe.

Date: 11 Nov 1998 00:06:28 GMT/BST I'm currently in the process of choosing a new pair of speakers, and I'm making a 'significant' investment (more than most folks monthly salary). Pocket Universe was a definite choice to use to audition speakers, as is 80-85 new mix in one go. (Also some Pat Metheny, Jools Holland, All About Eve, Genesis, Pink Floyd). Pocket Universe, is for my money, one of the best recorded pieces of music around, love it or hate it. Personally I love it. When it comes to audio equipment, it sorts the men from the boys, or women from the girls. The sheer complexity in the layering of sounds is so demanding, the "in yer face" rhythm and riffs, with atmospherics and incidentals virtually anywhere in the sound stage push audio equipment to the limits. The dynamic range, and the frequency range of that album is astonishing. I've heard the album on (big) studio monitors that are flat down to 15 Hz, when Dieter talks about ultimate bass, he means it! I cannot think of any techno track (believe me, I've heard / collected a lot!) that comes anywhere near close to what Yello have achieved in this album. For me, P.U. has gone beyond producing sounds that are capable of being reproduced on average equipment. I've been flamed before on this list for making such statements, but I know what I hear when I listen to that album. I've not even begun to discuss what imagery is in my minds ear, even discounting the total concept of the album and lyrics. Pocket Universe is a landmark in the music world, not just in Yello's repertoire. One exception, "To the sea" is a little out of place, both where it is on the album, and in general with respect to the album. Nothing wrong in the track itself, I just don't feel it quite belongs there. I suspect its purpose is the commercial single to launch the album, but it's just my opinion, and I am speculating. If I can try to explain, the rest of the album is like a wide open space, and T.T.S. feels like it has boundaries. Perhaps it's an intentional interlude, and I can see it's overall relevance, I just think it's out of place. Even the 80-85 mix in one go, 13 years on the full stereo image is only revealed on worthy equipment, hence Yello is always in my audition pile. Oddly enough, one of the assistants in the shop wanted to know what it was I was listening to, so I showed her the cover. She knew of Yello but not of this album (PU), so it suggests to me that Yello's marketing in this country (UK) could do with a bit of an overhaul! Anyway, I've made my selections, I'm in the demonstration rooms later this week for more serious listening. Music is very subjective, this is my opinion on the album, and why I'm using it to choose audio equipment. I like P.U., I feel it's a natural progression for Yello, and I think the next album will build on this one. Inside the music, it is still Yello, and always will be. Sorry for the long posting, but music is my passion, and Yello, well what more need I say?

No doubt if this mailing list was around 10-15 years ago people would have been jumping all over Flag, saying "Blazing Saddles" is the wierdest garbage ever heard, or the "Tied Up" mixes were about as fulfilling as american beer. Just for the hell of it, they'd say the entire album is crap and stomp off. Now, of course, we look back and realize that Yello was a decade or so ahead of its time - The Race and Oh Yeah (I know, wasn't on Flag) have established themselves as _Pivotal_Songs_ in music history. You could argue that Yello fathered or heavily influenced the "Art of Noise" movement, in taking ordinary life sounds and making a beat out of them. What about that band that plays on garbage can lids and Tupperware, Stomp? It's only after time that we see what the real gems were. In 5 years people will look back at Pocket Universe and say "those were the songs that started it all." Sidenote: my first intro to Yello was in hearing "Oh Yeah" in the movie "Secret of my success". My art teacher in grade 9 lent me the Flag and Stella CD's. I tossed it in the player and hit random play and sat back. You know what the first song I heard was? Blazing Saddles! I thought, What the Hell! Next song: Otto di Caprici(sp) Once again, very weird. Then the song after The Race, the east-indian sounding one (name escapes me). Except for my extreme open-mindedness, I would have given up right there. Forgive the caps.. emphasis, not shouting... HAD I GIVEN UP ON YELLO AT THIS POINT I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT "BABY" 5 YEARS LATER. Which I regard as one of their finest to date. "Who's Gone" and "On the Run" are true-blue Yello, and "Blender" is just like "The Race" over again. P.S. What is it with hawaiian guitars and Yello? I noticed it was slipped in "Who's Gone" just like it was in "The Race". Not strictly in the theme, but it fits in somehow. Kind of like showing up at a wedding in a loud hawaiian shirt - it's not what you expected, but hey.. we're here to have a good time right? I feel sorry for the "this generation" teenager who runs into a CD store, and, being the type who buys anything on the "new imports" section, grabs PU and then is disgusted with it. Another potential fan, lost for good due to a bad first impression. It's also somewhat of a shame that the older Yello CD's are no longer being produced, each time I visit a music store I check for Yello. Most of the pre-1990 stuff is gone for good. Even "Zebra" isn't stocked, unless you're at Virgin Records or some huge music warehouse. And the compilations... "Best of.." etc. really doesn't capture the flavour of the band.. basically "best of" albums are what OTHER PEOPLE thought were the best. Heaven help us if the guy putting together the new "Best of" collection liked "Tied Up"... we'll get like 6 remixes of that on the CD alone... Anyways.. what is it with me and e-mail anyways? I sit down to write a quick boo to someone, and it ends up turning into a novel.. yeesh... apologies for the ramble. -Trav! --- Jake liked his women the way he liked his kiwi fruit: sweet yet tart, firm- fleshed yet yielding to the touch, and covered with short brown fuzzy hair. # 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: "Simon McBurney" Subject: (yello) Yello Date: 12 Nov 1998 09:31:12 +1000 Yes nick, I totally agree with you about P.U. In my car I have a 10" Sub hooked up to a 300w Amp, and must honestly say the whole album is purely amazing, when it comes to the frequency range Yello use in their recordings. I think it's track 2 where if you had rather an ordinary pair of speakers then you wouldn't get the intended effect from the song, but with anything like what I've got, well.. you can just feel the bass (Not hear it) (At all). gee It's no wonder you hear allot of Yello at car stereo comps..

At last everyone has woken up and stopped waffling on about remixes of remixes and got to the point where we can all talk. And not one 'Blah' to be found in the whole of digest 86! (Sorry James, I'm not having a go, but you really did get me going over that 'Steps' thing - you little terror!) I can't really add anything more to the posts of Andrew, Vinnie, Daniel, James, Kjetil and Nic. You all said exactly what I was thinking. I do feel Kjetil hit the nail on the head with the phrase 'discovered its secrets'. I find this to be the case with every Yello album I've had. It's there, waiting for you to find it. It just takes longer sometimes for it to materialise. And Nic - you're right, there's no better way to listen to Yello than a trip to the audio store to 'check out' their systems. And you certainly get a few heads turning and people saying "Wow, who is that?" A good promo ploy, eh? Look guys - we all have our favourites and our crappies but in the end we all love Yello and will continue to support their efforts and long for their next album. SO........ MOVE.......

Pocket Universe captures the essence of Yello and gives me what I so love about them: great music, full of surprises, and not sounding like anything or anyone else.

I'd like to further the comment made about Baby and Zebra. I couldn't help feeling that with both those albums - that there were certain tracks that didn't seem to wash. There were one or two tracks that I find difficult, or grinding to listen to. (e.g. Blender, How How (Premix). However, PU is different. There isn't a single track that I find it hard to listen to. It's modern, relevant and forward looking. (Or as described by a work colleague - "They're the band which make lots of blips aren't they?"

Accoring to our calander it starts with the year 1 and then goes on. If it would be so that the next millenium starts the year 2 000, the first millenium starting year 1 would not have been 1 000 years but only 999 years. So you see, the next millenium acctually starts with the year 2 001. A millenium starts with the year 1 and ends with the year 1 000, and so on, not from 0 to 999. Another example would be when you're counting. You count from 1 to 10 and from 11 to 20, not from 0 to 9 and 10 to 19, right ;-) So why is it spread in the media that the turn of the century will be at the year 2 000. We'll there's a reason that they don't teach mathematics when you're studying to become a journalist. ;-) Kindest regards Eric. # 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: "Gennadiy Tsygan" Subject: (yello) Yello FTP Date: 13 Nov 1998 14:53:23 -0500 I think that I'll be the third one who is trying to establish an FTP site.

It's a great pity for me. But as far as my hobbie is collecting the jokes, your discussion about Pocket Universe reminded me one Russian joke: "Once some animals felt down to the pit. This pit was very deep so they couldn't leave it. Naturally, they became very hungry soon. Clever Fox said, 'Let's narrate the jokes. We will eat somebody who's joke isn't funny enough'. So the first narrator was Hare. His joke was very funny. Everybody except Giraffe was laughing. But Giraffe vas VERY serious. They looked at him and decided that Hare's joke wasn't very funny. Poor Hare was eaten. Next morning animals heard Giraffe laugh very loudly. They asked him why is he laughing. And he said, 'WHAT A FUNNY JOKE HARE TOLD YESTERDAY!!!!!!" Do you understand what I meant? Don't you think guys that some of Yello fans can be compared to this Giraffe?! Best, Olga. P.S. Sometimes some of you call all the list members "guys". But the REAL gentleman doesn't forget of lady's presence. I mean I'm not a guy (I'm sure at least).

Over the weekend I received many questions about new FTP site. Instead of answering individually I would like to respond to everyone. 1 Available disk space. At this time I have about 300 Mb free. If it will not be enough I will be able to get more space- at least few GB. 2 I am thinking about implementing password protection to the site, but still undecided. Please, give me your opinions. 3 I created new directories: Video- for movie files (I guess you figured this!), Software- for encoders, players and related programs and Others for non- Yello music that can be interesting. Still, only Incoming directory is open for uploading. I will move files to appropriate places. Please, try to help me- if you, for example, uploading several Kraftwerk songs create "Kraftwerk" directory and put files in it. It was a very good idea to accompany each file with another one with same name and extension txt and put notes into this file. 4 I do not want to make promises I can not keep. So... I can't explain why certain file will not play. I didn't make it, I just gave a storage space. I can't give directions how to upload or download files using various software- unless I receive many complaints, I assume that FTP site is working properly and the problem is on your end. If FTP gives you troubles, try using HTTP. Don't get me wrong- I will try to help, but I can't promise it. If you can't read certain file, inform me,. If many people have the same problem I will post a warning. 5 Site runs on Pentium 133 computer, 96 Mb RAM, Windows NT 4, IIS 4. It should stay on for as long as I am employed here. Sometimes I will have to stop services if I need to move files or reboot the machine. Still, uptime will be more than 99%.

Since there is no year 0, and the numbering started at 1, the first thousand years after this would end on December 31, 1000 and the second thousand will end on December 31, 2000. It's actually all quite silly, as the calendar and its measurement have all changed over the years. It's estimated that Jesus was born around the year 4, so even that measurement is a bit off. Sure, I'll celebrate with everybody else when the digits change over to 2000, but I'll have an even bigger party when the next century begins on January 1, 2001.

I meant that when it was released, many people found this album boring and told that it was not Yello's music anymore. While listening to PU they heard only "traditional techno". But only a few times ago many fans just UNDERSTOOD that PU is a great album -- like that Giraffe who's understood the funny joke only the next day since it had been told. This late discussion is an illustration to this thought. Isn't it true? Another thing I understood is that you don't understand Russian (or not only Russian?) jokes. Respectfully yours, Olga P.S.

Come on guys =AD somebody must have an idea. (No James - don't go there!) How about somebody asking Boris or Deiter? In fact, do they read the posts on this list? Is this THE official Yello list? It would be great if they contributed once in a while. I'm also on the 'Little Feat' digest in the USA and regularly get postings from the band, even when they're on tour. It makes belonging to the digest such a thrill to know the band are responding directly to their fans. Yello - say hello! Just a quick note of thanks to Kay for the info many months ago about teleCD - I just got my copy of 'Essential Yello' video. Wonderful! Watching some of the oldie songs reminded me of just how varied they were then, and yes, I admit it, Pocket Universe is a bit too repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trashing it, but I'm hoping for a more uplifting album next time around. Each and every one of Yello's albums contain fantastic tracks and let's face it, very few albums are great throughout. Although I can't really find a bad track on 'Baby'. For me it's the best so far. And finally..... Manolo over in Spain was having trouble getting hold of Yello albums. How's it going Manolo? Any luck yet? I hope so. Move........ Dance.........

This list is *not* serious enough? Are Yello a po-faced shoe-gazing band? No! They like to have a good time, and lots of their music is about having a good time.

Anyway, Here is a review of Zebra that Sweden's biggest Morning Paper, 'Dagens Nyheter' made of it when it was released (I cut'em all out and put them inside the CD, if it is a good review). I translated it, just to be sure, if there happens to be someone without a Swedish Dictionary...;) "Yello is the synthduo whose sound differs from anything else, partly because of their incredible wealth of ideas, partly because of their surrealistic elegance. There is no stopping their breakneck ideas, they have NO restraints whatsoever. 'Zebra(Mercury/Polygram)' is a digital trip around the globe through techno, hornsections, djungledrums, indian meditationmusic, ambient techno, reggae, bossa, moviesoundtracks, sampled mouthsounds, even more techno -and then the strange recitations of Dieter Meier. You cannot call him a singer, but he's a vocalist with unmistakeable character. Always as faultlessly cool, no matter what the speed, and always with a quiet smile in the corner of his mouth. You Rarely get to listen to music as lustfully composed." I also have one more review of Zebra from another Swedish mag -if anybody's interested?

Perhaps we should be posting to 'guys and gals' (as Jimmy Saville used to say - only UK fans may remember him!). And judging by your later posting you took part in the discussion perfectly. I'd like to contribute to your hobbie of jokes, but the only ones I have at the moment are either too rude or in bad taste. Can anyone else help Olga? James. You really are confusing me. Some of your recent postings, when challenged, turn out to be jokes, and not to be taken seriously. If you're doing this to stimulate discussion, it certainly seems to be working! I thought someone was going to step in and referee between you and David at one point. I'm sure it's all in the best possible taste. I look forward to your 'serious' and 'joke' labels accompanying your posts in the future. Best wishes. Seriously! And hey everyone. (notice Olga I didn't say guys!)

Some reviewers thought Zebra for >example was stifled and dated ; some thought it was brilliantly >adventurous. I read a lot of reviews of Zebra and PU in Russian press and noticed that all these review thought Zebra was a brilliant album like all other Yello albums. I haven't find any negative comments. Critics thought that Zebra is a 'classical' Yello album. What was even more confusing was the >largely negative reviews of PU. Yes, it's strange how tastes differ. Many reviews of PU in our press thought that PU was a very good album although Yello did a lot of techno in PU (but this techno was amazing). Some of them wrote that Yello haven't leave their 'usual' style in music (!) and ,on the other hand, they haven't repeated themselves. Other reviews was negative. But most of all reviews I read highly appreciated PU and thought that it was still brilliant Yello music. >It seems that if the music is too conformist (ie. doesn't try anything new) >- or if it is too disjointed it gets slated. For many >groups its a no win situation. People always expect from Yello something new, something that noone used before them. They didn't expect from them 'traditional music' which is largely used by a lot of other musicians. This is a reason of these negative reaction on PU and (in particular) Zebra. If any other groups play traditional music, then noone would be disappointed in them! >Just like home, work or family life - *sometimes* conflict is good.

I don't know how anybody could agree on any kind of conflict where the result made things worse or had no reason. I was thinking more about where conflict can make an overall situation better (or in the case of this Yello list) more interesting. Politcal and social situations on a country/nationwide basis is a different issue in this sense, perhaps. Also, I'm sure that political conflict can arise not from boredom, but sometimes from neccessities brought on from the need for basic resources - and certain places in Russia are perfect examples. As for PU - I think Yello are on the right path. But I don't make the mistake of thinking the music buying public will catch onto Yello's style. I think it's too late now.

Okay, I admit it, 'Oh Yeah' was the first Yello song I ever heard, when it was in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' There was never a soundtrack made for 'Ferris,' so I had to pick a whole Yello CD. The choice was between 'Stella' and 'One Second' (BTW, does anyone know why 'Oh Yeah' is on both albums?) Anyways, I bought my very first Yello album, 'Stella' at the ripe old age of 14, and I've been hooked ever since. If marijuana is a 'gateway drug,' then consider 'Oh Yeah' to be the gateway drug to the addiction known as 'Yello.'

Date: 20 Nov 1998 11:01:16 +0100 Hoi Everyone! For as far as professional reviews and the critics are concearned I make it a rule "never" to pay attention to what they say. This because I think there's no critic who can write a review that's objective. It is and always will be an opinion touched by facts. And I think I'm better qualified to do that personally for myself. Maybe if I ever find a critic that has the same taste in music as I have, I'll read his/her reviews, but concearning Yello (the main thing in music) for example, I find it much more interesting and fullfilling to hear what people on this list experience then to find out what someone thinks that gets paid to tell me what he/she thinks. Doesn't mean I can't see it as just another opinion, but a forced one then. It's a bit of a pitty that critics have an influence on a lot of people. You can read, but have to decide for yourself... Groeven, Olaf. Because the difference between good and bad music is the listener. # 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: James.Gillett@iceland.co.uk Subject: (yello) Yellow ...ur is that Yello Date: 20 Nov 1998 08:49:21 +0000 >>>My big let down on Zebra was the drums in "Fat City" which sound like an almost exact copy of the drums from........ geeez brain meltdown, Also, I thought that the tracks 'Tremendous Pan', 'Move Dance Go Bald', and 'How How (The Prefix) were quite a let down to. ; - ) (Hee Hee..)

Ok, forgive me for what may seem like a silly question (if only cos i havent asked it for so long!!) ;-)

My other half thinks that the spoken part in 'Dr Van Steiner' is none other than Orson Welles, taken from a movie possibly? Can anyone help out with this?

OK I admit it I smoke a little POT here and there. Mainly for the music when I sit down and listen. One strange thing I have noticed. With today's great music like William Orbit and Kruder and Dorfmeister and so on it works wonders. But with Yello I enjoy it more when I'm not.

I know this video is 6 years old but I did expect a little more inventiveness from Boris and Deiter. There's too much 'projected images on faces and backdrops' for my liking. And after watching the dynamic duo face left, and then right, and contort faces a few times it becomes boring. There's too much slapstick and 'Laurel & Hardy' antics. I thought the idea of videos was to enhance the music. I found most of the time it got in the way of the music. The potential for stunning visuals to accompany such great music is enormous. Why wasn't it used? A couple of tracks (Of Course I'm Lying' & Desire) used good footage of snowscapes and shipyards. Elsewhere the odd clay modelling sequence was interesting, too. But then have you seen the video that accompanied 'Sledgehammer' by Peter Gabriel? Brilliant! And why are some of these versions different to those on the original albums? If the track is preceded by the title 'The Race' from 'Flag 1988' why is it not THE track off the CD? I was most upset by that. Is this another remix selection? Not even dearest Shirley could raise the standard of this video. I'm sorry, but I just feel this video was an opportunity for some wonderful visuals. It didn't deliver (for me). Are there any other videos available, or are they just like this one? Move..... Dance.....

Yes, i agree that Video is and was a marketing tool, but disagree when you say that it used by artists with no substance, talent etc etc. In my humble opinion, a video can add a lot to the output of artists. My favourite video is the one for "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie, although Bowie is not my most favourite of artists. I would hazard a guess, however,that you would not disagree when i say that Bowie is one of musics most influential and talented artists, even if these talents would not appear to be to the fore presently, and you might not be a fan. Okay, so videos can either make a break a song when played on the tv, but in many cases they do add to the output of the artist. The above views are purely my own.

I think that what they did with 'On Track' and 'To The Sea' should have been done years ago. In terms of video production I think they aren't very stylish - infact I'd go further to say most of their videos are highly dissapointing and predictable. Pretty sad really, because it's only 'Of Course I'm Lying' and 'Desire' (they're may be others) that do not feature a colour screen with Deiter and Boris play acting in front. Don't get me wrong; I am a big fan of their music - but I think they really discredit themselves when it comes to video. Dieter may have always said that the film is secondary to the music - indeed - it may be; but they should have incorporated the approach of the 'To The Sea' video in much of their previous work. I remember showing Essential Yello to a group of mates once - and one look at the Pinball Cha Cha video, and they were not very impressed. As a fan, I've fallen into the trap of thinking their videos are any good. Just my opinion, of course.

Date: 23 Nov 1998 07:21:08 -0500 Just finished reading the Yello Digest and had a few comments to add. Personally I like PU but not To The Sea, and after looking at the liner notes (I'm dating myself) and I noticed that To The Sea was written by Boris with lyrics by the singer (her name escapes me), my question to the group is does this constitute a "Yello" song? Does a "Yello" song have to have both Boris and Dieter? Since To The Sea is a very weak song I would have to say yes Boris and Dieter have to appear to make it official. Secondly, someone asked why did Oh Yeah appear on both Stella and One Second, I believe that Oh Yeah was tacked onto One Second to cash in on the Ferris craze. It seemed like at the time there were about 9 or 10 different versions of Oh Yeah floating around, I think I have about 6 of them. Was I a fan before Ferris, Oh Yeah! I fell in love with the band after seeing the video for The Evenings Young. And became immersed with the band after listening to You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess. One thing I've always liked about this group is that for the most part all of the postings are very conversational, it's not techie talk, it's not people obsessed with the lyrical content and what does it mean, it's always been average fans talking about their group. I really appreciate the fact that people from other than english speaking countries make the effort and while their english isn't perfect, neither is mine, and they do far better in english than I would do in their tongue. For a while I subscribed to a Crowded House service and those people would drive you nuts! They are so into examining what Neil Finn meant in each word that after about a month or so I had to quit. Within the last month I was into a Front 242 service and that lasted about a day. This is a very nice thing we have going here, don't look to hard at it, just enjoy it.

Personnaly, I don't find Yello's videos to be bad - it's the kind of videos I would expect from them. Their music is playful and you never know what to expect and the same holds for the videos.

I had my first contact with the song Bostich. It must have been 1985 or so, when I was on a excursion to a textile-factory with my school. I filmed all the machines with the videocamera of our school, and I had to look for a good "soundtrack"for the material. A friend of mine had a huge collection of vinyls, and he also got the Bostich 12". That was the beginning of my Yello-mainia. The song fitted so perfect to my video. It seemed to be made only for my pictures. Every scene, cut and the movement of the machines was connected with the rhytm and the voice. Years later I saw the original Bostich video, and I was very dissappointed. The funny thing about Yello's music is, that it fits to nearly any movie you are making. At my time in school I made lots of "videoclips" using Yellomusic. And on my final examination I also wrote an essay about Yello and their idea in finding new ways in producing sounds and making compositions. Later on I decided to collect all the songs Boris ever made. It was a very expensive and time-filling hobby. But now I can say that I own all of his works, but I have to admit that Bostich is still my alltime favorite...

I do like the Yello videos but I have often wondered about the little girl that appears in a a few of them -- my wife always says that the girl makes her "uneasy" and indeed I am not quite sure I get the point. 2. After listening to Yello for over 10 years, I don't think a "bad" album will make me stop being a fan. 3. -- Yello, electronic music in general (Jarre, Vangelis, Eno, Klaus Schu lze, FSOL, Orb, Orbital, Kraftwerk, Art of Noise) -- industrial (NIN, Front 242, KMFDM, Rammstein) -- what they call new age/world music/ethnic these days (Delerium, Enigma, Bel Canto, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Deep Forest) -- goth (Cure, Siuxie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy) -- trip (Portishead, Massive Attack, EBTG, Mono, Morcheeba) -- techno (Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Leftfield) -- old rock bands (Queen, Deep Purple, Rainbow, AC/DC, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Led Zeppelin) -- Of course, the list won't be complete without Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis, Marillion, Rush... I also like classical music (Beethoven, Orff, Bach) and jazz. For jazz the list will be too long, but I'll list Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Sade... I have been on the mailing list for over a year now and I was wondering if readers of the list are interested in what other music Yello fans listen to. I have found most of the other bands mentioned on the list either ones that I regularly listen to (e.g. Kraftwerk, Art of Noise) or ones that I hadn't heard of before but which I end up liking (e.g. Propellerheads, Coldcut, Grid). Since one can hardly know all the different bands out there, hearing about non-Yello music that Yello fans like works as a pretty good filter... Some of the online music stores are trying to implement the "if you liked this album you may want to check out that one" but most don't work quite as well as the Yello list for me. I would like to add a few names and albums which I find interesting: Brian Eno -- Nerve Net Delerium -- Karma Future Sound of London -- Lifeforms Juno Reactor -- Bible of Dreams Cheers!

Does anyone know of any albums since Bible of Dreams? If there are any fans of Art of Noise, I would perhaps recommend the Future Sound of London, as along simliar lines. I've only got the Dead Cities album, but it reminds me of what was on many of the AON's albums - perhaps with greater layering, and more structuring - (basically a more complex sound.)

You found Yello videos weak. I personally don't care much for videos like some others. Not that I feel they are weak in particular or lower the creative levels of a band, just that I'm not interested. I generally throw my head back and close my eyes when I listen to my CDs, which makes watching a video redundant. 2. ~will you stop to consider yourself as their fan? Absolutely not. Not every album of ANY band that I own I found to my liking, or liked at first. I usually do find at least one song exciting. But then, it's what I personally like to hear. We are not necessarily judging Yello, but really giving personal views and insight as to what others might want to listen to. 3. What music (groups, genres) do you listen to except Yello? Too many to list. Also any obscure or unsigned bands whose names I'll never remember. My favorites are Yello, Art of Noise, the Orb, Peter Gabriel, Tchaikovsky, really old JGeils Band, et al. FYI, I'm also on the Orb's list (very, very busy) and last week a poll was taken for everyones 10 favorite groups and honorable mention was given to Yello.

I have become a great fan of his in the last few years and find his talents totally to the fore at present. I agree his musical direction has changed so much over 20 years, but I admire him for doing so. He is truly one of UKs most talented. A true chameleon. Yuri commented on my comparison to Peter Gabriel videos: >Yes, but can you compare the budgets of the 2 videos? I really don't think the problem was budgeting. I'm not suggesting elaborate clay modelling shots all over the place. But if you're going to set up loads of projectors and lighting effects and continually use these track after track it smacks of unoriginality. Better to shoot simple objects/scenes and edit/remix and make it interesting, which did work well in some cases. And James. My Buddy. We think alike regarding 'Essential Yello'. OK. Enough grumbling.

I'll have to say that Eleonore seemed pretty pointless in 'The Race' - she just appeared in two short scenes, smiled and frowned a couple of times and that was it. She had a much better part in 'Jungle Bill'... but then she was 5-7 years older then.

In general, this is a good idea. I've discovered lots of new music this way. I know I wish I was on music related mailing lists 10 years ago (actually it's getting close to 10 years that I've been on this list...wow), when it was tough to find out about anything outside the mainstream. However, the suggestions on these lists still only serve as a starting point for exploration, as the suggested groups rarely are categorized or described as you have done. Often people just throw out lists of groups with the implication that they're similar to the group the list is focused on, yet often they aren't. Fortunately, now that we have online music stores, it's possible to sample many of the albums before buying. What I'd like to see used is some way of verbally describing the music, noting the genre, whether it has vocals or not, whether it is sample heavy, electronic or acoustic, etc. as well as the name of a few groups that this music is closest to. I'm sure one could develop a sizable list of attributes used to describe the music in an objective way, unlike the vague, subjective, and often flowery writing style typically found in music reviews. But I don't really expect list members to follow such a scheme. It's too much work. I have a dream of some day classifying my own music collection in this way and publishing it on the web...but like I said, it's a lot of work. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic tmetro@vl.com Newton, MA, USA # 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: "Daniel Svensson" Subject: (yello) Pocket Universe book Date: 01 Jan 1998 01:56:57 +0100 What is the Pocket Universe book?

I really like a Swedish pop/rock artist. His name is Anders Glenmark, for foreigners perhaps best known as the guitarplayer and one of the producers on most of ABBA's albums. Anyway, I find that some of his work bears major 'inspired-of-yello' signs. Has any of my Swedish Yello-soulbrothers/sisters here thought the same?? I'd be glad to upload some tracks somewhere to let You others listen aswell (even if You cannot understand the lyrics - they suck most of the time anyway...) /Mathias af Jochnick # 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: Gavin Stok Subject: (yello) Artists and Videos Date: 26 Nov 1998 16:19:33 -0800 (PST) On the topic of music artists and music videos, and only focussing on electronic-based artists (eg. Yello, Enigma, Deep Forest, Delerium, Jarre, etc.), I must admit general disappointment. However there have been some notable exceptions. In terms of Yello, I only have their video compilation from the late 1980s (is it rare?) and was extremely disappointed. They looked cheap and boring - it took a bit of my respect for their creativeness away. For Enigma, "Return to Innocence" is a stand out, with a music video that helps bind the content of the song together with visuals. For those who haven't seen it, it contains lots of backward imaging (eg. instead of seeing someone drop a ball from their hand onto the ground, you see the ball going from the ground into their hand), and a backward story line. The visuals are stunning. The general theme is one of death going back to birth - the 'return to innocence'. If you haven't seen this video, DO SO!!! Other Enigma videos are pretty good too, but this one stands out. For Deep Forest, their music videos are a bit of hit & miss. The revised "Sweet Lullaby" music video was quite good with lots of things happening, some nice visual seens. The rest of their videos are straight forward. For Delerium, their videos weren't too bad. I only saw ones from "Semantic Spaces" though. Unfortunately I have never seen ones for Jarre or Vangelis (if you're in Australia and have some, contact me!). Anyway, thought I'd share my thoughts.

You found Yello videos weak. But what did you expect from them? I don't find their videos weak in the slightest (am I alone here?) I used to hate those early eighties style videos like "Vienna" where there's a "story" and the musicians pretend to be in a "film".. this forces an interpretation onto a song so that when you hear it you think about the stupid video where before you could use your imagination. A prime case is Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" video, I loved that but now I just think of Donald Sutherland and his weather machine. Yello's vids are more like an extended record covers, a splash of colour, some ideas, memorable images - a look. They're ok for what they are intended to be - 3 minute adverts for a single. I enjoy the clowing (usually) and like the way they look like they cost about 1000 dollars each (and I like the little girl BTW). > 2.

Quite like FSOL but I think the Art Of Noise are one of the most overrated bands ever (though "Moments In Love" is ok)- when they were at the bottom of the ladder farting around with silly samples of cars and voices Yello were way up the top making sophisticated European techno disco with the same equipment the AON were trying to master. > Well, for 'To The Sea' I was expecting a dance troupe of several dancers > (all wearing Gucci > designed beach wear), on the shores of Jamaica, performing under the > tropical sun.

You found Yello videos weak. But what did you expect from them? W= hat kind >of videos did you suppose to see instead? While I think Yello are brilliant composers and musical talents, they obviously have little imagination as film directors. I find all of t= he videos that I have seen to have similar imagery and repeat similar styles. I would like to see videos that are more like an artist-director responding to the music and drama of the individual song; I've often thought about doing some myself for fun. I think th= ey just need a good director. >2. If Yello release very poor, weak album (let's imagine it as a the= ory), >will you stop to consider yourself as their fan? Nope. Not at all. I did refuse to buy Flag for several years because= I thought the singles I heard were impossibly weak. I finally broke do= wn and bought the vinyl used because I do consider myself a collector of sorts. Zebra I hardly listen to either and Baby has some of the most trite lyrics. But I held out as a fan and with Pocket Universe I was very happy to see their compositional style of music making a return. >3. What music (groups, genres) do you listen to except Yello? There are other groups than Yello? Um, from the same range of years (early 80s to present), my favs are = The Pogues, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Waterboys, Propaganda (of course)= .=20 Outside of that range are B=FCdi Siebert, Jethro Tull, Doors, Janice Joplin.

You found Yello videos weak. But what did you expect from them? What kind of videos did you suppose to see instead? I hoped for a visual experience to match the audible experience. I had been looking for a Yello video for a long time and was ultimately disappointed. It appears from others, that all their videos are weak. But I'm still pleased I have a visual record of the 'duo'. 2. If Yello release very poor, weak album (let's imagine it as a theory), will you stop to consider yourself as their fan? It's obvious from previous postings that many of you find one album or the other to be weak (which must be the case with every artist) but we will still buy them because we love the music in general and always remain fans. I guess if they *really* changed direction (like being too pop orientated) I may falter - but I doubt it. 3. What music (groups, genres) do you listen to except Yello? Like others on this list my musical taste is very wide - from Vaughan Williams to Prodigy. My other main music interest is with a US band from the 70s called Little Feat. If you like country with a funky beat mixed in with cajun and rhythym & blues then this band has the lot! Others regularly in my CD player are: Led Zepplin (say no more!), Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Art of Noise, Fluke (anyone heard of them?), Deep Forest (although earlier CDs are much better IMHO), Frank Zappa, Bonnie Raitt, Malcolm McLaren, Andreas Vollenweider. Quite a varied mix don't you think? James's postings as usual are wonderfully colourful, leaving lasting images - your Will Smith's suggestion in particular made me LOL! Olga - I did like your 'moth' joke but 'earms' left me totally confused. Here's a couple for you. I hope you understand. Two cannibals were eating a clown. One says to the other "Does this taste funny to you?" In the UK and the US people like to joke about lawyers quite a lot, so please bear this in mind with....... What do you have if there are 100 lawyers buried up to their necks in sand? Not enough sand! Bye for now my friends, Move...... Dance........
