Well I was wrong. But I swear that at leat two or three major sound on the On
Track are for sure from the Morphues. But then they prob. could have been
sampled on to the Morpheus from some of the old stuff he was using. Just to
much of a coincidence.  Good day Julian

Subject: (yello) New CD is available in Munich

Hi, my daily trip to the local CD store was succesfull:
I bought YELLO pocket universe at Hugendubel in Perlacher Einkaufspassagen
for DM 34,50. Please see http://members.aol.com/FranzGall/yello.htm for a b/w
scan of the leaflet.
First impression: terrific, gorgeous. Plenty of new sounds, no techno speed.
Some  the songs remind me to intros of SF space operas. Also Jean-Michel
Jarre says hello. Choruses, strange rhythms, even songs with no rhythms.
I am very happy, this sounds much more better than the single release.
Regards
franz

I knwo this has been asked a bunch of times, but no one will answer and
it's getting quite frustrating.  WHEN?? Is Pocket Universe being released
in the US if at all....local stores are not much help so I think some
Europeans would prolly the only ones to shed reliable light on this issue.

I checked out the new page too....very cool, although I would have
rathered a normal band bio than all that time-consuming multimedia junk.

Subject: (yello) Pocket Universe

Hi!

I just thought I'd give some facts on the new
album, which was released today in Europe.

Title: Pocket Universe
Release date: 24 Feb 1997
Cat no: Mercury, 534 353-2
Tracks:
1. Solar Driftwood 1.51
2. Celsius 5.59
3. More 6.39
4. On Track 5.33
5. Monolith 6.21
6. To the Sea 5.46 [longer than single version]
7. Magnetic 5.53
8. Liquid Mountain 2.58
9. Pan Blue 5.31
10. Resistors 7.13
11. Beyond Mirrors 5.49
12. To the Sea 3.52 (radio version/northern mix) [remixed by Steve B-Zet]

Track 12 is not mentioned on the cover or in the booklet,
it was obviously a last-minute decision to include it.
There's a tiny sticker on the cover "incl. bonus track to the sea
remix by Steve B-Zet".

There are no guest players on this album (Chico Hablas,
Beat Ash etc), and no space between songs. One thing
I noticed was the absence of the usual amount of humour,
surprise and craziness that at least I expect. This is an
album that has a lot of seriousness about it, at least
compared to their earlier albums. No sudden "real" drum
solos, or "real" guitar solos. It's cooler and darker.
(My favourite is Celsius!!!!!) If you liked Zebra, you will
probably like this one too. If you expect another 'Baby'
or earlier - forget it. I guess those days are over...

Jonas Warstad

 -->> Did anybody get through to http://www.yello.ch?

The web site is rather pretty, but the multimedia sections do seem to take
a while to load.  The realaudio tracks played beautifully at my end,
though, so I was pretty happy overall.

The .mov file of To the Sea didn't load though, and my players (Quicktime,
Quicktime 32, NetToob) all claim the file is corrupted.  Has anyone else
had any luck with the 4meg version of this file?

"News" about "Lightmaker"

(Taken from the 3h-broadcast with Dieter and Boris on Swiss Radio DRS3;
Friday, 14th February)


There are existing two complete cut-versions of the movie; but Dieter isn't
satisfied with any. In the last years he often lost hope to bring the
project to an end; so he put pressure to himself: He's now on a
post-production-situation, which is so expensive that now, it's existential
to complete the movie...

Now he doesn't work alone anymore but with "Hollywood"; i.e. he want that
"Lightmaker" (is NOT the final title) should have commercial chances.

Dieters problem is, that he lost himself in 160km (!) of celluloid;
structure of  the story is clear for a long time - it's about classic
Orpheus-subject.

Story: A musician from N.Y. is seduced by his love to the underworld where
she had been kidnapped. This world is placed in a mountain where a
forgotten kingdom is vegetating around. To have new life they need the
musician, because only he is capable to open the centre - a big crystal -
and to enlighten the empire of darkness. The musician has been deceived
with fair words that the only way to find again his love is to make music,
i.e. to illuminate the underworld. He starts playing but the evil powers
have their own interests; they need the music to survive...  (Story will
have a happy-end!)


P.S.: pocket universe is great :-))))

Does anyone know what kind of Atari he uses?  I'm assuming it's an ST or a
Falcon... I'm curious because several years ago I owned a couple of
different ST computers, but unfortunately, widespread support for it dried
up here in the U.S.

That list of instruments
  Well I was kinda correct the Ultra Protus is exactly the same as the
Morpeus.
   Finally got the new single I love it. The Boris mix is the best and I love
those low frequencies on track 3.    Very cool            Julian

Subject: (yello) YELLO FACTS

I got a tape with the 3hour interview of Yello in the Swiss radio.
It was hard for me to "decode" the swiss dialect.
Shure it is a kind of german but even if you understand this dialect,
it is neraly impossible to follow Dieters and Borsi words.
So for all of you some facts that were interesting and new for me:

* Boris sound bibliothec has a capacity of  4GB
   That gives over 3 hours of high-quality stereo samples.

* Boris did not record any new samples for Pocket Universe

* For the first time Dieter sampled his voice first and then Boris created
the sound

* Carl Cox coproduced the song "Magnetic" on the new album

* Billy Macenzie commited suicide....

* Boris produced half of the songs on Billy Macenzies last album

* Yello got the "gro=DFer Kulturpreis der Stadt Z=FCrich"(cultural honour of
the city of Zurich)

* They were the first pop group recieving this honour.

* Yello donated the 40000 sFr. from this prize to a fund to educate
children in music.

* Yello only made two live appearances =B483 at the Roxy N.Y.
   and =B495 at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund for the "MAYDAY" clubbing

* They also appeared 95 at MTV

* Dieter wnts to make a Yello show in Las Vegas, but Boris does not like to
play live

* For the Planet Universe show in Munich, Dieter used kitchen tools and
filmed them in very close up for new effects

* Stina Nordenstam should appear on the Lightmaker soundtrack, but Yello
decided to make another song for the new album

*Dieter is planning a new film called "Directors Cut" and he also want to
be an actor in it.

Subject: Re:  (yello) YELLO FACTS

Thank you for the facts. It looks like Boris is decreasing the quality
because there are lousy mixers coproducing songs on the album.
I have Carl Cox's album and it basically is lousy, both artistically
and technically -- it is mastered to contain much bass frequencies,
never heard such mastering before.

Nice samplelibrary, I bet. From earlier interviews there are
20000-30000 sounds.

I wonder how many samples there are here in the network. Quite much.
There are many synth sounds and I'm sure there are many samples of
the old analog synths. Unfortunately my network connection is a floppy
disk connection with respect to downloading.

Either Boris says 60-80000 or 16-18000 sounds; I hear he is saying

Don_t forget that they_ve also appeard in the Brittish TV program "The Tube"
at the end of the 80_s with "Godrush" and a short interview with Dieter.
Are there any other releases from theire live appearances than "Yello live

Regarding the "new"  single "To The Sea":

I finally received my copy from ESPIRIT UK (they sold out & had to reorder)
and found it tasty.By no means a complete meal.The 12" is also on backorder.
That means *someone* has been buying it.

 I found Stina's vocals to be sultry & somewhat seductive reminiscent of
Sylvia's "Pillow Talk" or Bette Midler's "Do You Wanna Dance".  Boris finally
got the opportunty to use that seagull sample that has been on the shelf
since "Call it Love"; it should make a decent segue for a mega mix.

I await my Pocket Universe copy as credit from the same mail order store that
failed to provide me with a copy of "On Track". I was able to procure a copy-
thanks to this circle of fans.

All the best,

Subject: (yello) Pocket Universe in USA/UK - sooner or later.....

Hi!

Maybe some of you are unaware of why Pocket
Universe isn't released in the US/UK yet.

I'll tell you why: because the record companies
in question have other things to do right now.
They have other artists that need promotion
first - they don't want their own releases to
compete with each other. It's that simple.
In short: money. That's what's it all about.

Did someone mentioned the word "music"
here? Or "art"? No, no, no, then you have
a lot to learn about the music business.
Because that's what it is: bu$ine$$.....

Do I sound cynical? Well, maybe, but not
compared to most record companies...

No wonder some artists (*many* artists) get
fed up with it, and start to release their own
records via Internet. Like Prince. He will soon
release a 3-CD with "previously bootlegged
material" - ONLY via Internet. And that's how
it's gonna be in the future. You order your
music directly from the artist. Maybe with
Yello too. Probably you'll be able to buy rare
stuff in this way. The future will tell.

Hi. I have the new album. It is interesting and some techno flavoured.
There are some reuses, including
 -fast vocal beats from suite 904 (CD single containing bible mix)
 -yelling vocal from Si Senor the Hairy Grill
 -some vocals from some song I don't remember, very processed
Search more reuses yourself!

There are standard techno/rave sounds used but nicely.

Magnetic is quite the same than Musky on Carl Cox's album; I hate
already that.  :-)  There are additional vocals.
