Subject: (yello) Beyond Mirrors - Sample

Hi There !

I added the complete "BEYOND MIRRORS" sound file, plus a short
preview to my home-page. I hope you have no troubles
downloading it. I tested it with on different systems.
So please give me a note when you have troubles, because I will
update the sound files every month.
(I only want to sample rare tracks !)

In the next weeks you will find all the cover-pictures of my collection
in my page too (yellography).
But I need time to do the scan, resize and all that stuff....

Thanx for visiting my site

Subject: (yello) Beyond Mirrors

Hi. Beyond Mirrors sounds like it will not appear in the album 'as is'.
If true, I have to try to find the Star Trek CD.

Also, could somebody (Jonas?) verify from the record company if the
remixes of the On Track are by Boris or not? Names of the remixes
indicates that the remixes are not by Boris but...

Could you Georg sample 15 secs (say) from various remixes such that we
may listen to the Yelloness of the remixes? Please sample with 11025 Hz,
16 bit, and stereo such that at least the dynamics and the stereoness
comes ok.

Has somebody heard of that Tina Turner cover of Yello? I looked to large
book of releases and all versions of Nutbush City Limits were by Tina.

What makes you think so?? Did I miss anything?

Hopefully, On Track will soon be released as a (or rather: several!)
CD-Maxi(s), and then the truth will be revealed. Obviously since it
was a limited DJ vinyl set only, they never bothered to indicate who
did the remixes, probably because it's obvious to the DJs themselves?
I'm almost positive that Boris only did the original.

> Has somebody heard of that Tina Turner cover of Yello? I looked to large

The information is in my German Discography, I have the song on tape
and even though I don't like (an understatement!) so called techno, I
kind of liked this one. Yello worked together with two other artists on
this song, so it's not a 100% Yello song, but anyway.

Regards,

Jonas Warstad

Sorry Juhana, but that makes no sense.
I don=B4t think that anybody could tell the "yelloness" of a remix
when he hears only 15 seconds.

I added a one minute  sample of the original version.
Next time I will delete the long "Beyond Track" sample
and change it with the different mixes.

I am not shure about using 16bit and stereo,
becuse I do not have enough webspace.

Well your idea with the exclusive Yello club sounds fine.
But I think we are exclusive enough on this mailinglist.
But I agree with making a global www.site only with YELLO topics.
It has to be more than a great startpage with links to our pages.

Subject: (yello) Review of To the Sea

Hi !

My name is Eric SchΣder (if you got a strange sign as the 4:th one in my
last name, I can tell you that  it's supposed to be pronounced something
like Schaeder). I'm from Lund in Sweden and I have just (two weeks ago
acctually) joined the mailing list. As far as Yello goes, I'll go there.

Now, I've seen that there have been some dates going around about when To
The Sea and Pocket Universe are going to be released. As far as I know, the
single is released tomorrow (the 4:th that is) according to my lokal record
store (Folk & Rock). They have also pleased my curiosity  with a date for
the album, and that is the 24:th of february. If those dates goes for the
rest of the world or just Europe, I don't know.  The single To The Sea has
also been reviewed in my lokal Paper, Sydsvenska Dagbladet, and they like
it. This is what they wrote. Well, what I translated it into.

"NORDENSTAM AND YELLO, A HIT.
A lot is to be heard before your ears fall of but this one takes the price.
Yello together with Stina Nordenstam, a combination that on paper is
laughable, but turns out exelent, when the initial shock has settled. After
the latest Yello album, Zebra, it was easy to sort them out as technoclowns,
but this  senslessly  bold move to let the cool, almost cold voice of Stina
Nordenstam blend with Boris Blanks technoballad is - if not genial - very
very succsessful. For both of them, actually."

For those of you who eventually don't know, Stina Nordenstam is a Swedish
female singer who, as Jonas Warstad wrote, is highly in demand by the record
companies.

Regards

Eric

Subject: (yello) weekly Yello Dose?

Odd thing happened the past two weeks. Last Sunday night I was watching the
Discovery Channel and saw a part of a documentary about the Canary Islands.
There was a scenic, few minute segment that was taken from a helicopter as it
flew over the steaming volcanoes. "Hawaiian Chance" was playing in the
background.

I stayed with the program to see the credits at the end and as I thought
there was none given to Yello. There was however an unusual name credited for
Musical Consultant(or something similar). To the best of my recollection the
name credited was Feifer Meiofer.
Too close to be a coincidence?

Also, last night on The Learning Channel (TLC) there was a show titled "Side
Show" about the circus, etc. "The Race" was playing in the background during
part of the show that featured the "Wolfboys" of a Mexican circus.

Anyone else catch any of these or am I cracking up?

Best, FG

Hi,
I just returned from a trip to our local CD store here in Munich. I got the
new single "to the sea". The cover says:
YELLO
featuring Stina Nordenstam
to the sea
remix by Steve B-Zet

My first impression: poor. I would not have it recognized as a Yello song, if
I heard it the first time in the radio.

Subject: (yello) To The Sea not on the album?

Hi. New CD single To The Sea does contain two third party remixes
and the original version. So, I'm hoping to save money by not buying
this CD single and getting the original version within the album.

But, Jonas earlier wrote that this song seems not to be on the album.
CD single says the song is re-touched from the album.

What you think, will the original version be on the album as it is
on this CD single?

This CD single has tracks:
  to the sea (radio version/northern mix) 3:52  (third party remix)
  to the sea (original version) 3:27
  to the sea (southern mix) 3:48  (third party remix)

If you see CD singles with different contents, please let us know ASAP.
Any Boris remixes are must must.

Most certainly it will, as it says "original version". I wrote that
before the single was announced (that it wouldn't be included).

Greetings all,

    I wanted to ask if all of you Europeans who are already enjoying
the new Yello single (I live in the US), could try to find out when the
single and album are coming out in the US....no records stores here have
any information (or are willing to find out any information).  I've been
waiting with baited breath for the new Yello, and now I'm becoming
dissapointed of the skewing of US release dates...or possibly even, the
fact it WON'T be released US.  Any info anyone?

I guess it's only used by Dieter to record his vocals,
Boris dosn't like to leave his Zurich studio. It's easy
to make music today without having to be physically
together in the same studio - at least if you can afford
to by the necessary equipment...

I picked this up over the weekend.  I'm in the US, so for the rest of you
this side of the ocean, keep an eye out.  Not surprisingly the original
mix (Boris mix) is the most distinctive and I think the best.  The
vocalist sounds like a cross between Bjork and Alison Shaw of Cranes.  I'm
not surprised she is in demand -- quite a voice, and an usual voice as
well.  Good song, but if this is an indication of what to expect from the
album, perhaps Yello's time as innovators has passed.

I must say that I only agree with you halfways.

I find Stina Nordenstrom a great singer as well but I don't think you're
being fair when you say that Yello's time as innovators has passed.
Dieter Meier didn't write the lyrics to To The Sea (correct me if I'm wrong
but Stina is credited for the lyrics) and I think the song fits well into
the overall work of Boris. Besides, I guess that it's not always the artist
themselves who desides which songs are considered single-material. The
record company may have a lot to say in that matter.
My point is that I don't think we should write Yello off just because a
less good song are released.
I still have faith that Pocket Universe will be yet another great album in
the Yello history.
But of course, that attitude may give me major dissapointments. :-(
