<<
 Propellerheads you just _have_ to get as a devoted Yello fan >>

I don't know I havent liked a thing by these guys. Not that it is bad but
nothing hits me. I have heard a few tracks by them including the Sherley Basse
song which was kind of a disapointment to me. I will listen to it but not
reccoment buying it.
just my thoughts

Julian

Subject: (yello) samples & greetings

>Jonas, have you already asked Boris what CD collections he has used?

We will go through all tracks one by one, and I'm sure he will
reveal a few "secrets" here and there. Having said all this,
the fact remains that he creates (all but) 100% of his sounds
himself. *Very* few sounds are taken from other sources than
those he tapes himself indoors or ourdoors. For one song
(I won't reveal what song yet) he used a lion's roaring from
a "nature's sounds" record, but he of course changed it
around in his Fairlight quite a bit.

Btw, I got a hefty 6 greetings to forward. Come on!
And two of them asked for myself from persons outside
of this list! (One of them is actually from Warren Cann
from Ultravox) (no, he's not on this list) JW

Given you rule out Hector Berlioz, the only composer of note with a name
similar to the one you give is the Italian - Luciano Berio, however he has not
to my knowledge ever written a piece with a French title let alone any ballet
music as such. Knowing what century your "Berioz" lived in might help matters,
but to be frank you might be onto a bit of a wild goose chase.

Hector Berlioz did however write a "symphony" called "Romeo et Juliette", it's
a spectacular piece of music that breaks with every formal convention of the
time and no subsequent composer has stretched the concept of the symphony
quite to the same extent. The movement called "Scene d'amour" in particular,
is quite wonderful and a pretty definitive recording of the piece has recently
come out on Philips by the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique conducted
by John Eliot Gardiner. I'm quite sure this would meet with your girlfriend's
approval just as well.

Sorry, This is my last contribution - as obviously this subject has nothing to
do with Yello and I don't want to come across as some kind of classical music
trainspotter.

Shortly after I made my last posting I remember that there is a dance piece by
Stravinsky with the exact same name as your "Berioz" piece. There is I suppose
a distant possibility that by whatever means you heard of this music you were
given the name of the conductor and not the composer. Pierre Boulez (the "z"
is pronounced) has often conducted Stravinsky's music, however no recording of
him exists to my knowledge of him conducting this particular piece. There are
however many other fine recordings including one conducted by the composer
himself. The one to go for however goes under the title of "Stravinsky in
America" and is on RCA and the artistes concerned are the London Symphony
Orchestra under Michael Tilson Thomas. This CD also includes the full score of
the ballet "Agon", one of Stravinsky's finest and rarely recorded.

Hope this is of help and sorry if I've bored everyone else senseless, but in
someways the Berlioz piece I mentioned in my earlier note is not unlike some
twice-removed version of what Yello are trying occasionally to achieve some
150 years later.

My friend constantly points out how this and that sound is a preset
sound of some synth. Perhaps those sounds just pops up. The weird vocal
sounds in S.A.X. and start of the Suite 909 are from Kurzweil 2000, for
example.

This weeks quiz: what is the above song? Answers to me via e-mail within
two weeks.

Yours,

Juhana

I bet it is the "thunder" in the beginning of "Live at the Roxy"

Right or wrong ???
