Subject: (yello) Thoughts ...
Just some thoughts in response to somethings that somebody said at sometime
during the past couple of lists ... I think that covers everything.
Firstly, I too would also like to see a whole album of instrumentals like
L'Hotel or Tool in Rose (great one for annoying the neighbours and blowing
your headphones/earphones/pet squirrel ... ). The cinematic feel really
comes together when there are/is no vocals ... sometimes.
Secondly many years ago (ten, I think), I heard an interview on Forth FM
(Scottish indie radio station) with the late, sadly missed Billy Mackenzie,
and one of the projects in his pipeline at that time was to do an album with
Boris producing. Nothing came of this, and probably they only did a few
tracks together on his next album ... stop me if I'm babbling wildly ... But
(wishfull thinking, hindsight and all that ...) Wouldn't it have been a nice
thought to have gotten a Mr Boris Blank to finish off the posthumous last
Billy Mackenzie album considering that they did some really great stuff
together?
Ah, the babblings of a romantic. In another universe there is a Yello
group: Boris Blank, Dieter Mieier, Carlos Peron, Billy Mackenzie, Beat Ash,
and the great Chico Hablas ... What a group!!!
Right time for my pill ...
Best wishes
Schtick

Subject: (yello) No Way ! :-(
I apologize if I haven't kept up with my Yello knowledge lately, but I had
NO IDEA that Billy Mackenzie had passed away !
How long ago was this ? How many albums did he release ?
I would greatly apreciate more info on this.

Billy died in 1997 - he committed suicide at home on his whippet
farm in Auchterhouse, just north of Dundee (where I live and work).
Since his death his last LP 'Beyond The Sun' was released to great
critical acclaim, and a further LP with Paul Haig was released
earlier this year. It is planned to release a whole pile of previously
unheard material over the next few years.
The last LP released before his death 'Outernational' contains
about 4 tracks produced by Boris Blank and is a great LP,
although fairly scarce these days.
There is a great book entitled 'The Glamour Chase' which
chronicles the life and music of this extraordinary talent...I can
recommend it heartily.
I hope this helps, although it gives me no pleasure to provide the
detail on such a sad event in recent music history.

Subject: (yello) Yello & Seat
Hi folks !
Could you imagine an ad for a european car constructor (Seat)
presenting its new model and earing the "Squeeze Please" in
background ?
Yes of course. We all know that television and others use a lot of
Yello material.
BUT have you ever imagine that the spot itself write at its begening
that "the song you're earing is from Yello" !!??
Yes. That's reality. Never seen that before. Great.
Could it be some masked advertising for Yello ?
