Yeah! Also, because On Track is supposed to be a hybrid
of Do It and Jungle Bill! (According to George Plank)
And who would really believe that Boris would do soft
songs only? We all know that each album features a variety
of songs, from heavy metal (!) to crooning stuff like Capri Calling.
I hope that this album's Capri Calling is indeed To the Sea.
(And yes, Stina wrote the lyrics to To the Sea. Dieter certainly
said no to this song, because it didn't give him any stories to
write lyrics around. If you see what I mean.)

Jonas Warstad

I believe it's a very nice song. My thoughts went in the directon of Capri
Calling. Some friends of mine usually has commented the song as not a
typical Yello song, but they agree that if it was Dieters voice they heard
instead of Stina's it would be more of a Yello song. Maybe it's that Stinas
singing is not in the tradition of what we've become used to know as a Yello
singer (with the exeption of the wonderfull Shirley Bassey of course). I
believe that Stina did a great job with the lyrics and I truly hope that we
will hear more of them working together.  Maybe Jonas (or someone) knows if
there is more on Pocket Universe to expect.

Is there any release date on  On Track on CD?

Is this a new version ? The one I've got only says Original Version and two
remixes by Steve B-Zet.

Just wondering if anybody has seen or heard of an MP3 site devoted to
yello. If not, Why doesn't someone with the tools start encoding... (the
Mac has very few tools for encoding compared to the PC so I am afraid I
am unable to - plus I only have three of their CD's).

I don't know, but I don't think so. We'll know on Monday.
You think Stina did a great job with the lyrics? Yeah,
probably, but I have to admit that I can't hear half of the
words she's "singing". It certainly isn't Swedish dialect
she's using, it's her own personal "dialect", call it trademark
if you will. She's drawling her words, a bit like George Young
did in Flash & the Pan (remember them?). I always thought that
Dieter was a bit tricky to hear what he was "singing/talking",
but Stina is trickier.

> Is there any release date on  On Track on CD?

He told me that the next single isn't decided yet, I suggested
On Track, and he told me "maybe". ("He" is not Boris though)
In any case, Boris' version from the 3x12" pack will also be on
the album, so there's no reason to worry. When I phoned them
this time last year (asking about my interview!!), I was told that
Boris is currently working on some 12" versions (after having
been in bed for two weeks - the flue reaches even him), so
he must have something up his sleeve.

That's the *only* version that Boris mixed himself, and it will be on the
album too. (Only version, in so far as has been released that is).

I forgot to tell you this in my previous mail: Yello will have a totally
new official site up coinciding with the release of the album. The
URL will be in the booklet. Maybe they even linked to some of our
sites too? Who knows? But I get the feeling they won't. Wanna bet?

Subject: (yello) This and that

Hi!

I phoned Zurich today and got some answers
regarding some recent topics (apart from asking
about my long overdue interview!)

The laser show in Munich does *not* feature
any different versions than on the CD. The
only difference is that not *all* of the album tracks
were used.

To the Sea *will* be included on the album.

Yello will do a lot of promotion for their album,
visiting Stockholm too shortly!

The 3x12" pack On Track only has *one*
version done by Boris himself, all the others
are remixed by various DJs. The reason it
is (and always will be!) a limited edition
(about 1,200) is simply that it was too
expensive to manufacture. (Or rather, that
they made too little money on it because
of this :-)

Finally, I have a CD for sale: A Canadian
CD-Maxi (12" Inch Classics on CD),
including Oh Yeah Extended Version 6.22,
(and another track by Munich Machine -
A Giorgio Moroder project from 1977.)
Cat no is: SP5-1637. Bids anyone?
I could also swap it, no problem.

Regards,

Jonas Warstad

That was about time. The old site hasn't been updated for ages. I'm curious
to see if they are gonna link to our sites but I won't bet on it.
I've read in an interview that Dieter has an email account but it doesn't
seem like he's on this list so maybe they don't want to *connect* with
their fans. :-)

Anyway it's great news to hear about the new yello-site. Where from do you
have the info Jonas?

I got the news that Yello is planning to go to a clubbing in Vienna
tomorrow (thuesday).
I asked the promoters and they told me that Polygramm reserved a special
VIP area
for Boris and Dieter. They are going to play Yellosongs at the clubbing
(thats what they said).
So I think I do not have a chance to get to the VIP area, because I have no
invitation
or a press-pass.
Maybe Yello will make interviews for the austrian TV or radio.

I hope to give you more info and pictures next week

Yours

In the german magazin "keys" 3/97 there's an interview with Boris
Blank, about the new album, composing and production works (and a
list of all the used samplers and synthesizers)... Nothing very new,
still working with images and sound-landscapes and so on.
Pocket universe is said to be even more techno-influenced than Zebra
 - well, that's what we heard (and saw) in the Planetarium-show of
Deutsches Museum Muenchen.
   I hope they didn't forget the Capri Calling style - I love it. So I
really like "To the sea" ;-)

(Last week I found an extract of a song by Dieter Meier "You gotta be
smart to show your heart...", maybe from a session in 1990 or 91.
Anybody knows something 'bout that?)

Any idea of a UK release date. I've been and asked around and the
record shops I've spoken to don't have it on their lists for
release in the next two weeks at least. Apparantly that is how much
notice they get of future releases to order them.

Subject: (yello) new yello

Hello all
 The new Yello site is great I love the RealAudio. Listened to each song
about twenty times now. I'm going to love this new album it seems to be very
dark which I find to be great. So couldn't stand it and called in a pre order
for a overnight shipping gotta have it.

 This is just my opinion. I feel after listening and studying the new On
Track LPs. That it is for sure all mixed by Boris. I went and listened to it
on a very nice stereo set up at a friends to get all the detail I could hear.
First of all all the songs sound like they came from the same place. Meaning
they were definetly recorded on the same mixing board. Then there is the
sounds them self that are used by the mixes. Most of the sounds are from a
synthesizer called Morpheus by the Emu co. Boris used it on Zebra a lot but
now that I listened to the On track and the new samples on the web it for
sure sounds like Morpheus is his primary lead bass and mid instrument.
Morpheus has a very distinct sound. (remember I could be wrong)
 Then there is just the pure sound of talent and knowledge. I think that
Boris tried very hard(well not to hard) to sound like it would be mixed by
some other guy. The mixes are to detailed and the Morpheus sounds are all
over the other mixes.
 Well thats my theory. If thats not it then the mixers were in Borises
studio. But they all for sure came from the same place.

 cant wait for the album any longer its driving me crazy I'm sure same for
you ... Julian

I have great problem in viewing the new Yello pages correctly.
Major problem is that in Win, there is no realaudio and it cannot
be installed (because there are 100 other people working in the same
computer room). Second, I'm not sure does everything work as should
even we have Netscape Gold 3.0 (or such).

I would like to have those sound samples --- or are they just audio from
the album songs? In which case I will just buy the new album.
But if there are any sound samples, then I would like to get them.
If somebody could download them and upload to my site, then perfect!

I hate this Java system already: should I really wait for 2 hours
to see all those text which are constantly changing? I think I will
download all of the stuff and build a new web-page where all are
static. Then it takes only half a minute to read them all, view all
the images, and decide what to download.

And I once though that the Usenet newsgroups are a big waste of the
time... silly me!!

You can access the soundfiles used at The HomeBase at this URL:

I don't know weather it's political correct to use the link or not coz it's
kinda *behind the surface*.

Remember the How How samples? They are preprocessed samples. It may be
that remixers just used the preprocessed samples.

Somebody mentioned the recent interview in german magazine. I asked
him to copy the article in anyway to us or to me (for making it available
for all of us). But now I'm quite interested in to the list of
equipments Boris has in his studio. Would you, somebody, please type
the equipment listing and mail it here?

My friend has noticed many Kurzweil preset samples on the Zebra album.
