I added the complete "BEYOND MIRRORS" sound file, plus a short preview to my home-page. I hope you have no troubles downloading it. I tested it with on different systems. So please give me a note when you have troubles, because I will update the sound files every month. (I only want to sample rare tracks !)

Beyond Mirrors sounds like it will not appear in the album 'as is'. If true, I have to try to find the Star Trek CD. Also, could somebody (Jonas?) verify from the record company if the remixes of the On Track are by Boris or not? Names of the remixes indicates that the remixes are not by Boris but... Could you Georg sample 15 secs (say) from various remixes such that we may listen to the Yelloness of the remixes? Please sample with 11025 Hz, 16 bit, and stereo such that at least the dynamics and the stereoness comes ok. Has somebody heard of that Tina Turner cover of Yello?

Names of the remixes > indicates that the remixes are not by Boris but... Hopefully, On Track will soon be released as a (or rather: several!) CD-Maxi(s), and then the truth will be revealed. Obviously since it was a limited DJ vinyl set only, they never bothered to indicate who did the remixes, probably because it's obvious to the DJs themselves? I'm almost positive that Boris only did the original. > Has somebody heard of that Tina Turner cover of Yello? I looked to large > book of releases and all versions of Nutbush City Limits were by Tina. The information is in my German Discography, I have the song on tape and even though I don't like (an understatement!) so called techno, I kind of liked this one. Yello worked together with two other artists on this song, so it's not a 100% Yello song, but anyway.

I don=B4t think that anybody could tell the "yelloness" of a remix when he hears only 15 seconds. I added a one minute sample of the original version. Next time I will delete the long "Beyond Track" sample and change it with the different mixes. I am not shure about using 16bit and stereo, becuse I do not have enough webspace. Well your idea with the exclusive Yello club sounds fine. But I think we are exclusive enough on this mailinglist. But I agree with making a global www.site only with YELLO topics.

My name is Eric Schäder (if you got a strange sign as the 4:th one in my last name, I can tell you that it's supposed to be pronounced something like Schaeder). I'm from Lund in Sweden and I have just (two weeks ago acctually) joined the mailing list. As far as Yello goes, I'll go there. Now, I've seen that there have been some dates going around about when To The Sea and Pocket Universe are going to be released. As far as I know, the single is released tomorrow (the 4:th that is) according to my lokal record store (Folk & Rock). They have also pleased my curiosity with a date for the album, and that is the 24:th of february. If those dates goes for the rest of the world or just Europe, I don't know. The single To The Sea has also been reviewed in my lokal Paper, Sydsvenska Dagbladet, and they like it. This is what they wrote. Well, what I translated it into. "NORDENSTAM AND YELLO, A HIT. A lot is to be heard before your ears fall of but this one takes the price. Yello together with Stina Nordenstam, a combination that on paper is laughable, but turns out exelent, when the initial shock has settled. After the latest Yello album, Zebra, it was easy to sort them out as technoclowns, but this senslessly bold move to let the cool, almost cold voice of Stina Nordenstam blend with Boris Blanks technoballad is - if not genial - very very succsessful. For both of them, actually." For those of you who eventually don't know, Stina Nordenstam is a Swedish female singer who, as Jonas Warstad wrote, is highly in demand by the record companies.

Odd thing happened the past two weeks. Last Sunday night I was watching the Discovery Channel and saw a part of a documentary about the Canary Islands. There was a scenic, few minute segment that was taken from a helicopter as it flew over the steaming volcanoes. "Hawaiian Chance" was playing in the background. I stayed with the program to see the credits at the end and as I thought there was none given to Yello. There was however an unusual name credited for Musical Consultant(or something similar). To the best of my recollection the name credited was Feifer Meiofer. Too close to be a coincidence? Also, last night on The Learning Channel (TLC) there was a show titled "Side Show" about the circus, etc. "The Race" was playing in the background during part of the show that featured the "Wolfboys" of a Mexican circus. Anyone else catch any of these or am I cracking up?

I got the new single "to the sea". The cover says: YELLO featuring Stina Nordenstam to the sea remix by Steve B-Zet My first impression: poor.

Hi. New CD single To The Sea does contain two third party remixes and the original version. So, I'm hoping to save money by not buying this CD single and getting the original version within the album. But, Jonas earlier wrote that this song seems not to be on the album. CD single says the song is re-touched from the album. What you think, will the original version be on the album as it is on this CD single? This CD single has tracks: to the sea (radio version/northern mix) 3:52 (third party remix) to the sea (original version) 3:27 to the sea (southern mix) 3:48 (third party remix) If you see CD singles with different contents, please let us know ASAP. Any Boris remixes are must must.

Most certainly it will, as it says "original version". I wrote that before the single was announced (that it wouldn't be included). Things change fast in the music business industry...

I find Stina Nordenstrom a great singer as well but I don't think you're being fair when you say that Yello's time as innovators has passed. Dieter Meier didn't write the lyrics to To The Sea (correct me if I'm wrong but Stina is credited for the lyrics) and I think the song fits well into the overall work of Boris. Besides, I guess that it's not always the artist themselves who desides which songs are considered single-material. The record company may have a lot to say in that matter. My point is that I don't think we should write Yello off just because a less good song are released. I still have faith that Pocket Universe will be yet another great album in the Yello history. But of course, that attitude may give me major dissapointments. :-( # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of yello Digest V2 #8 ************************* To subscribe to yello Digest, send the command: subscribe yello-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@xmission.com".
