Yeah! Also, because On Track is supposed to be a hybrid of Do It and Jungle Bill! (According to George Plank) And who would really believe that Boris would do soft songs only? We all know that each album features a variety of songs, from heavy metal (!) to crooning stuff like Capri Calling. I hope that this album's Capri Calling is indeed To the Sea. (And yes, Stina wrote the lyrics to To the Sea. Dieter certainly said no to this song, because it didn't give him any stories to write lyrics around. If you see what I mean.)

I believe it's a very nice song. My thoughts went in the directon of Capri Calling. Some friends of mine usually has commented the song as not a typical Yello song, but they agree that if it was Dieters voice they heard instead of Stina's it would be more of a Yello song. Maybe it's that Stinas singing is not in the tradition of what we've become used to know as a Yello singer (with the exeption of the wonderfull Shirley Bassey of course). I believe that Stina did a great job with the lyrics and I truly hope that we will hear more of them working together. Maybe Jonas (or someone) knows if there is more on Pocket Universe to expect.

Maybe Jonas (or someone) knows if > there is more on Pocket Universe to expect. I don't know, but I don't think so. We'll know on Monday. You think Stina did a great job with the lyrics? Yeah, probably, but I have to admit that I can't hear half of the words she's "singing". It certainly isn't Swedish dialect she's using, it's her own personal "dialect", call it trademark if you will. She's drawling her words, a bit like George Young did in Flash & the Pan (remember them?). I always thought that Dieter was a bit tricky to hear what he was "singing/talking", but Stina is trickier. > Is there any release date on On Track on CD? He told me that the next single isn't decided yet, I suggested On Track, and he told me "maybe". ("He" is not Boris though) In any case, Boris' version from the 3x12" pack will also be on the album, so there's no reason to worry. When I phoned them this time last year (asking about my interview!!), I was told that Boris is currently working on some 12" versions (after having been in bed for two weeks - the flue reaches even him), so he must have something up his sleeve. > >Not surprisingly the original mix (Boris mix) is the most distinctive and I > think the best. > Is this a new version ? The one I've got only says Original Version and two > remixes by Steve B-Zet. That's the *only* version that Boris mixed himself, and it will be on the album too. (Only version, in so far as has been released that is). I forgot to tell you this in my previous mail: Yello will have a totally new official site up coinciding with the release of the album. The URL will be in the booklet. Maybe they even linked to some of our sites too? Who knows? But I get the feeling they won't. Wanna bet?

I phoned Zurich today and got some answers regarding some recent topics (apart from asking about my long overdue interview!) The laser show in Munich does *not* feature any different versions than on the CD. The only difference is that not *all* of the album tracks were used. To the Sea *will* be included on the album. Yello will do a lot of promotion for their album, visiting Stockholm too shortly! The 3x12" pack On Track only has *one* version done by Boris himself, all the others are remixed by various DJs. The reason it is (and always will be!) a limited edition (about 1,200) is simply that it was too expensive to manufacture. (Or rather, that they made too little money on it because of this :-) Finally, I have a CD for sale: A Canadian CD-Maxi (12" Inch Classics on CD), including Oh Yeah Extended Version 6.22, (and another track by Munich Machine - A Giorgio Moroder project from 1977.) Cat no is: SP5-1637. Bids anyone? I could also swap it, no problem.

I asked the promoters and they told me that Polygramm reserved a special VIP area for Boris and Dieter. They are going to play Yellosongs at the clubbing (thats what they said). So I think I do not have a chance to get to the VIP area, because I have no invitation or a press-pass. Maybe Yello will make interviews for the austrian TV or radio.

I've been and asked around and the record shops I've spoken to don't have it on their lists for release in the next two weeks at least.

Listened to each song about twenty times now. I'm going to love this new album it seems to be very dark which I find to be great. So couldn't stand it and called in a pre order for a overnight shipping gotta have it. This is just my opinion. I feel after listening and studying the new On Track LPs. That it is for sure all mixed by Boris. I went and listened to it on a very nice stereo set up at a friends to get all the detail I could hear. First of all all the songs sound like they came from the same place. Meaning they were definetly recorded on the same mixing board. Then there is the sounds them self that are used by the mixes. Most of the sounds are from a synthesizer called Morpheus by the Emu co. Boris used it on Zebra a lot but now that I listened to the On track and the new samples on the web it for sure sounds like Morpheus is his primary lead bass and mid instrument. Morpheus has a very distinct sound. (remember I could be wrong) Then there is just the pure sound of talent and knowledge. I think that Boris tried very hard(well not to hard) to sound like it would be mixed by some other guy. The mixes are to detailed and the Morpheus sounds are all over the other mixes. Well thats my theory. If thats not it then the mixers were in Borises studio. But they all for sure came from the same place. cant wait for the album any longer its driving me crazy I'm sure same for you ...

Major problem is that in Win, there is no realaudio and it cannot be installed (because there are 100 other people working in the same computer room). Second, I'm not sure does everything work as should even we have Netscape Gold 3.0 (or such). I would like to have those sound samples --- or are they just audio from the album songs? In which case I will just buy the new album. But if there are any sound samples, then I would like to get them. If somebody could download them and upload to my site, then perfect! I hate this Java system already: should I really wait for 2 hours to see all those text which are constantly changing? I think I will download all of the stuff and build a new web-page where all are static. Then it takes only half a minute to read them all, view all the images, and decide what to download. And I once though that the Usenet newsgroups are a big waste of the time... silly me!!

Remember the How How samples? They are preprocessed samples. It may be that remixers just used the preprocessed samples. Somebody mentioned the recent interview in german magazine. I asked him to copy the article in anyway to us or to me (for making it available for all of us). But now I'm quite interested in to the list of equipments Boris has in his studio.
