I too want to ask why the single and album are not available in UK, no
record shops have heard of it. This also happened with the PU singles -
nothing! The shit we get in our charts here spreads everywhere like a
disease and yet Yello's fab promo vids never get a look in. Mercury suck -
get a new record company boys, one that will promote you properly.

Subject: (yello) Yello at AOL

Hi,
AOL is showing a special on Yello today. Direct Access for AOL users is:
<Ctrl-K> "Musik", then click on the yello picture.
There is a page with German text and hyperlinks, an old picture of Boris and
Dieter, black and white standing beside an old movie projector.
I did some screenshots and translated the text and have put this beside my
private homepage onto http://franzgall.tripod.com/yello_on_aol.htm .
Hopefully AOL does not sue me for publishing AOL content...
Please feel free to add any comments using my guestbook (GΣstebuch)!!

Below is the German text. Any Germans are encouraged to translate the text
to English. I do not have the time right now.

Regards
Franz

The text:
Immer wieder waren es Duos, die klassischen Zweierkonstellationen, die die
Popwelt mit Songs und Skandalen, mit Pop und Pomp, mit Liedern und Lifestyle
versorgt haben:

Pet Shop Boys, Sonny & Cher, Ike and Tina Turner, Cindy und Bert, Simon &
Garfunkel und eben die Herren Eidgenossen:

Licht aus, Spot an - Yello sind wieder da!

Mit der neuen Single "Squeeze Please", neuem Video und dem neuen Album
"Motion Picture". Und es scheint fast, als wollten es die Herren Meier und
Blank alias Yello noch einmal wissen.

Die PR-Maschine lΣuft gut ge÷lt, Plakate zieren die StΣdte, und als
exklusiver Kooperationspartner in Sachen Ver÷ffentlichungspolitik wurde MTV
mit ins Boot geholt. Hier fand die vielbeachtete Videopremiere statt und auf
der Website MTVHome gibt es einen umfangreichen Yello-Bereich.

Grund genug, die inzwischen 22-jΣhrige Geschichte des Schweizer Duos, das
einst ein Trio war, ein wenig zu beleuchten.

Es war einmal in der Schweiz...
Motion Picture


Geschichte
=======
Schon der Beginn der Yello-Historie ist schillernd und schrΣg: Boris Blank
und Carlos Peron, Grⁿndungsmitglied von Yello, welches die Band spΣter
verlie▀, lernten sich in einem Auto-Testlabor kennen.

Dort hatten die beiden nichts Besseres zu tun, als den LΣrm der
Versuchsautos aufzunehmen, um im Studio damit zu experimentieren. Zwei
Brⁿder im Geiste hatten sich gesucht und gefunden, es schlug die
Geburtsstunde von Yello.

Auf der Suche nach einem SΣnger wurden sie fⁿndig bei Dieter Meier, seines
Zeichens Maler, Dandy, Pokeras und Golfprofi.
Er war es schlie▀lich, der den Namen der Band erfand.

1979 wurde der erste Plattenvertrag mit dem damaligen Kultlabel Ralph
Records aus San Francisco, das auch die Residents beherbergte, unter Dach
und Fach gebracht. Dort ver÷ffentlichte man die ersten beiden Alben "Solid
Pleasure" (1980) und "Claro que si" (1981), die heute Kultsstatus genie▀en.

Mit "You gotta say yes to another excess" (1983) stellte sich dann auch der
kommerzielle Erfolg ein. "I love you" und "Lost again" waren Erfolgssingles
in Europa, wo der Yello-Durchbruch nicht zuletzt durch den aufkeimenden
Videoboom begⁿnstigt wurde.

Das audio-visuelle Konzept der Band aus Song einerseits und seiner
filmisch-dramaturgischen Umsetzung andererseits, fand jetzt breite
Aufmerksamkeit. Dennoch entschied Carlos Peron sich, die Band zu verlassen,
um eine Solokarriere zu starten.

Auch "Desire" von der LP "Stella" (1985) geriet zum Hit, ebenso wie das
superbe "The Rhythm Divine" von der 87-er "One Second". Hierfⁿr hatte man
Shirley Bassey verpflichten k÷nnen. Eine gute Entscheidung - war sie es
doch, die diesen Song mit der n÷tigen Mischung aus James Bond-Suspense und
Las Vegas-Eleganz versah.

In Deutschland bohrte sich dann ganz besonders "The Race" von der 88-er "The
Flag" ins Ohr. Die ARD setzte diesen Song als gern geh÷rtes Titelthema der
zu jenem Zeitpunkt ⁿberaus populΣren Videosendung "Formel Eins" ein.

In den 90-ern stagnierte das Unternehmen Yello etwas, oder besser gesagt:
Die kommerziellen Erfolge blieben aus, die Fans ihren Favoriten jedoch treu
verbunden. Zu diesen AnhΣngern zΣhlten natⁿrlich auch viele Musiker, deren
eigenes Oeuvre von den Schweizern beeinflusst war. Mit "Hands on Yello"
setzten Kⁿnstler wie Westbam, Carl Cox oder Moby der Band mittels ihrer
Songversionen ein Denkmal.

1997 erhielten Dieter Meier und Boris Blank dann als erste Musiker ⁿberhaupt
den Art Award der Stadt Zⁿrich.

Steht 1999 nun ganz im Zeichen eines "Comebacks"? Wie auch immer: Yello sind
wieder da, und die QualitΣt von "Motion Picture" ist mit Sicherheit dazu
angetan, zu neuen, erfolgreichen Ufern aufzubrechen, oderrr?

Subject: (yello) yellomusic.de

Regarding this new www.yellomusic.de site - which is announced on the
"Motion Picture" cover, I just read (dated today) on the Suite 909 news site
(http://www.paper.dk/suite909/) that this domain is not even registered/has
an DNS entry.

Well, actually it does. Below is the information I got from a DNS lookup
tool. Even though the site www.yellomusic.de isn't yet active, it seems
certain that they will go for this domain name eventually. The site
www.yello-music.de has the exact same information and owner. This does
answer but has no content, as of yet.

From: Juhana Sadeharju <[e-mail]>
Subject: (yello) Motion Picture Arrived

Yep. I'm an owner of Motion Picture here at Finland.

I will not review it but I have to correct some points:
Yello has not leaped back to "good, old" Yello music --- it is only
a new style of Yello.

This may sound strange but I hope that there will be no a hit song
from this album: (i) the album is strongly jazzy and people will
be majorly diappointed if they buy the whole album because of a possible
hit song, (ii) even if they buy only the single, such as Squeeze Please,
they get those bad third party remixes.

Anyway, I know I will listen to the album 100+ times within next few weeks
(with my lovely neighbors, of course <grin>). Recommended album for Yello
fans!

Yours,

Juhana

When I first heard them, I was a bit disappointed actually. They have grown
on me a little since then, but they are not up the the standard of Yello
yet, IMHO. Perhaps they will improve with time. I just don't think their
music has the character or personality that Boris and Dieter can generate.
Its a pretty tough comparison though.

Craig.
