Thanks!!

But I had many voices that my server is too slow. Can someone recommend me
some good free server NOT in Poland (they all sucks, as I see) (i.e.
Geocities - but they're a little bit too slow)?

Many Thanks

Subject: (yello) 'Eccentrix' & another message from Zurich!

Hi all,
     Firstly, if there's any European fans who are able to get the new
album today -
please let the list know what they think.

     Secondly, following the positive note from Peter Vitzhum last week, I
risked
asking another question, concerning the new film and Yello's official
web-site: -

Dear James,
Distribution dates for the movie "The Lightmaker" have not been
finalised yet.
An update of Yello's homepage is in the make.
Regards,
Peter Vitzthum

Regards,

James

Indeed, is there someone who already can comment this great event?! And I
really want to know, what is "Topaz"?!

>Come an write a joke Olga! Something! Someone.

You want more jokes? I suppose some of you are angry because my jokes aren't
about the subject. But as far as you want it...

Patient. Doctor, my wife has a lover. I know that in this case the antlers
have to grow on  husband's head. But they don't grow on my head...
Doctor. You don't need to be afraid. Don't take it too literally. It is just
figurative expression.
Patient. Really?! Thank you very much! I was afraid it was for lack of
calcium in my organism!



WRITE ME IF YOU DON't WANT MY JOKES HERE ANYMORE!

Have a nice time,

Olga

Subject: (yello) Remix album

Hi,

I've got new album on Saturday. Well, to be honest, I expected more from
this CD. Without any doubts, there are pretty good tracks, but
unfortunately, majority are just ordinary 3rd party remixes - nothing
special.

I like 'On Track' - very good remix! Of course, it's far from original song
and original athmosphere, but at least it very well arranged. ;-)

Also I like 'She's Got A Gun'. Very, very nice track! Rhythmic, but not
hard.

And 'Rubber remix' is almost extended version of the original song. Still
very cool!

As for the other tracks - nothing special. Of course, it's only my opinion,
and I'd like to hear another thoughts on this. Usually, reading reviews in
this list is a great pleasure for me.

Also, I have a question. What are the words in 'On Track'?
"Night train, _, vain, wheels, journey, station unknown".

Best wishes,
Oleg.

Subject: (yello) my personal "eccentrix" review

Hi Yello-fans!

Normally, because of lack of time, I don't contribute very much to this l=
ist,
but as there is a new Yello (remix) album out since today, I want to give=
 you
my first impression about it.

After a hard day I went to my local music-store to look for the new CD an=
d
after a short time I found that eccentric album...;-)
To make you recognice the CD more easily and as I really like the sleeve
design, I uploaded some scans of the cover. The pictures can be found for=
 some
time (not very long, as I don't have a yello-page) under the following UR=
L:

http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/Matthias.Egerland/yello/YelloEccentrix1.J=
PG =

(150k)
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/Matthias.Egerland/yello/YelloEccentrix2.J=
PG =

(180k)
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/Matthias.Egerland/yello/YelloEccentrix3.J=
PG =

(55k)

But now, let's directly move to the tracks:

Nr.1: When I recognized the title, I directly remembered those of you, wh=
o
hoped that there will be *no* more remixes of the famous "flag" tracks. B=
ut I
guess you will change your mind, because this "Brake Light Mix" of "The R=
ace"
is just great! Ofcourse it is a Boris Blank only remix...;-)

Nr.2: "How How". I already new and disliked this "Papa-Who-Ma-Mix" from "=
The
Fluke-Mixes" maxisingle, so no more comment about that.

Nr.3 "More". This remix by Boris Blank is absolutely great! The tune is v=
ery
different from the original version, but the sounds and arrengements are
superb in my opinion. By now my favourite track of this CD.

Nr.4 "Do it" ("Marky. P & Teri B. Dub"-Remix) I already new that track fr=
om
the CD-single and didn't like it very much. But you can listen to this re=
mix,
if you are too lazy to skip forward...;-)

Nr.5 "Topaz". I don't know where the original version of this "Insect Mix=
" by
Boris Blank comes from. A quiet interesting song, which I may have to lis=
ten
to more often to get used to it.

Nr.6 "How how" I didn't know this "In Silence"-remix, though it was alrea=
dy
released on the "Plutone's Mixes". But after listening to it, I didn't ha=
ve
the impression that not knowing it was a fault...:-|

Nr.7 "On Track" ("Daug Laurent's First Journey") Some time ago I was luck=
y to
get the complete "On Track"-Maxi-CD including this very good remix. Norma=
lly I
don't like non-Blank-remixes, but this one is just great, though not very=

yello-stilish. [The recording quality of this version is a bit better
than on the single]

Nr.8 "Vicious Games" ("B.Blank / O. Wollschl=E4ger") I've got the "Hardfl=
oor vs.
Yello"-single, so there is nothing new for me here.

Nr.9 "Rubberbandman" ("Rubber Mix"). As the following track nr.10 I may h=
ave
heard this remix via the ftp-site, but not so often, because I don't like=
 mp3.

But this song is absolutely great! It's the good old yello-style
and I like it very much.

Nr.10 "She's got a gun" ("Live at the Palladium NY") Fantastic, that such=
 a
good song from Yello's first years has made it onto the latest remix albu=
m!
This is the (already released, "Goldrush"-single) 1986 version by Boris B=
lank,
which was rather new for me.

Nr.11 A very good remix of "To the Sea" by "TSWL". It doesn't follow the
ordinary way of remixing a title and it is also very different from the
original version. Very interesting "new" song, after the 2 versions on "P=
ocket
Universe" and the CD-maxisingle didn't come up with very different versio=
ns.
Stina's great voice plays the most important part in this remix.


To sum it up, who may like this CD? Well, I do...;-) =

But you have to see that for the die-hard-Yello-fan there are not very mu=
ch
new tracks on this "compilation". Only 3 of the 11 Tracks are previously
unreleased, so it depends on your collection how many songs you already k=
now.
Altogether the music-style is just like the CD-title says and we all know=
 and
expect it from Yello: very "eccentric"...;-) That's why I guess that this=

album will not be very successfull with people who don't already know and=
 like
Yello. It is a very weird collection...;-)
This album is for the medium-die-hard-Yello-fan who doesn't have all the
singles but is always happy to get some new remixes. =

If you have to pay 50$ or more because of online ordering you may be
disappointed by the CD, but as the true Yello-collector - what does money=

mean? ;-)

That's it from me, I hope you weren't bored by my review.

Have fun!

Tschau,
