Chico and Beat used to be such a great addition to sound of Yello. I'm sad =
that they=20
have been completly phased out. Anyone have any insight about why this was =
and=20
what happened to them? I'd love for them to record with Yello again.
This reminded me of something I've been wondering for some time. On =
'Baby', Ernst=20
Gamper is credited for guitar on 'Capri Calling'. Wasn't he the artist for =
all the album=20
covers from '...Excess' through 'Baby'? I often wondered if the guitar =
credit was an error.
I also miss his work as a very distinct part of Yello products. (Though =
Zebra is my fav=20
Yello cover, which he did not do.)
Thanks for the responses to my post about who compares to Yello. Yea to =
the Art Of Noise response. Creative equals at least. I'd suggest Brian Eno =
is a pioneer of this 'cinimatic' music, though his spectrum of styles is =
very wide, so only a portion of his recordings are 'cinematic'. (Apollo, =
Nerve Net, others.) Peter Gabriel's soundtracks, Passion (Last Temptation =
of Christ), and Birdy are both very emmersive and compare/contrast well =
with Yello. I was recently introduced to Juno Reactor. I almost mistook =
'Bible of Dreams' for a Yello production. I found an interview noting =
Yello as one of their influences.

Subject: (yello) The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Hello, Yello fans!
It's been a long time since my last post, but hopefully you didn't forget me
:-)
Well, yesterday I saw a movie on the TV. It was "The Adventures of Ford
Fairlane". Probably it's a well-known fact, but for me it was a surprise to
hear lots of Yello music in the movie. Unfortunately I didn't catch the
titles to be sure, but seems to me the soundtrack is almost completely made
by Yello. Though, there are some songs from other artists, e.g. Billy Idol.
First of all, one of my favorites "Unbelievable" comes directly from this
movie, its lyrics is compiled from the movie's cues. Then, what was
surprising, there is lots of tracks from "Baby" that's released in 1991, and
the movie itself is released in 1990.
This movie is a comedy with lots of action. Ford "Mr. Rock n' Roll
Detective" Fairlane is experiencing problems, and it's not with the opposite
sex. One of them is that all the rock stars pay him with drum sticks, koala
bears, food processors and bicycle shorts. Another one of them is that all
his employers that want him to find a girl named Zuzu Petals get killed. Why
didn't he become a fisherman's detective instead? It's a fun movie!
Did someone else see this? I'd like to know your opinions.
Best regards, Serge.
