While I'll agree it has been very quiet on the Yello front, I do have some
news. The commercials for the new Warren Beatty movie Town and Country have
been playing "The Race" in the background. Since the movie has yet to be
released I don't know if it is on the soundtrack or not.
And on a non-Yello related front since many of you are also Kraftwerk fans,
I would highly recommend Wolfgang Flur's book "Kraftwerk - I Was A Robot".
This edition was just printed in english and the first 2/3 of the book
relate to Wolfgang's life story and working with Kraftwerk, the last 1/3
which is new to the book details the efforts of Hutter/Schneider to prevent
the publishing. It's an interesting book, an easy read and it gives some
good insights to a very mysterious band.
Wolfgang also uses this platform to push his current efforts "Yamo". Based
on what I read in the book, I found a copy of "Time Pie" and it is
moderately good. It's good enough to warrant a second effort (which I
believe is coming), and it gives a good account of what Kraftwerk might
sound like if they would have continued to record, rather than ride their
bicycles.
Also responding to someone's posting on Recoil (Alan Wilder's efforts after
Depeche Mode) I too am a big fan, although Liquid left me a little cold,
Unsound Methods is a nice place to start. Liquid features mostly women
vocalists and they all seem to be very angry, the balance of women vocalists
to male vocalists on Unsound is very good. And don't get me wrong, I have
nothing against women vocalists but Liquid pushes the envelope.
One last thing, in Flur's book he mentions that Yello have started doing
music for commercials in Switzerland, I would assume that it's for Re-watch,
but does anyone know of yello doing new music for commercials?

THEN I WANST CRAZY!!
I was in the kitchen when I first heard the commercial earlier this week, but
dimissed the thought. I thought it sounded like the Race!!
I did see the movie this weekend, and there was one or 2 scenes(simular to
Ferris Buellers day off) with all sorts of hanky panky going on. The drums in
the background seemed very very Yello'ish. I couldnt detect any other Yello
music in the movie though. The movie was very good!
> I would assume that it's for Re-watch,
Just to imform the list, Dieter is no longer involved with ReWATCH.
Only in spirit and soul now:(

This release is basically Mouse on Mars songs with his lyrics. I don't
remember what the title of it is but it came out around the same time. I
like them both except some of Yamo is a little cheeezy.
