PS. as a true HIGH-END music lover I tell you that the sound of the first three albums/CD sounds equal, there is no major difference. The influence of Carlos Peron Tape processing dubbing mixing is making the recordings a little bit flate, shrill. But may be that was the purpose of them? After Carlos Peron the sound of Yello was changed! Please correct if I'am wrong. For me ALL the Yello albums(LP/CD) are good. an USA sticker wrote: Your not much, if your not Dutch!

Last time I read something like: "I know the guy who makes those bumper stickers. He hates New York" Maybe he knows the low self esteem - or lack of it - from dutch people. I am now back to listening to 'La Habanera' and the change of pace is quite enjoying. Still Shane made me look for Pink Floyd for a while. Suddenly I remembered all of my family own this one on vinyl, on CD, on cassette, but I don't even have a single piece of it. Looking back into memory lane, I think of looking for my tape of 'Frankie goes to hollywood'. By the way, I recieved two responses from people about their most treasured musical posession. This is not much so I decided to invert the choice. So here it comes. Ladies and Gentle men, listen very carefully. What is - by a long shot - the worst piece of music, you ever BOUGHT. Rules: You must have bought it out of your own free will. Or, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO I will set an example. I once bought MC HAMMER. Please do not puke over your screen. There are screensavers enough which can reach that result.

To me that album is'nt very noise I have heard much worse. The studio work on this album is amazing also. Worst record for me just thinking lately is the new Beth Orton album. The track that was produced by William Orbit is the only song I liked. By the way I highly reccomend the new Madonna album it's exellent. It realy should be called William Orbit featuring Madonna. If you are a fan of William buy it cause I feel like I bought an Orbit album.

Digging through a used bin one day I found a 45 of the son "Purple Haze" (Hendrix) the artist performing this particular version was Dion. What a pile of crap. I can imagine the engineers rolling over laughing as he belched out the lyrics, "blue haze, all thru my mind..."

I think these people are OK, but a lot of my friends and my wife seem to think I am strange because I have in my collection:- Bananarama:- Greatest Hits Nick Heywood and Haircut 100:- Greatest Hits (Both VERY short CDs!) Anything by Yello! However, I think it is very interesting that at the time that you buy these things you think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Funny how tastes change as you get older.

They do a weekend show called Totally 80's and one of the spots (commercials) they use during their "normal" programming is a spoof with "Oh Yeah" in the background. To sum it up, they play the song in the background and wrap it up with a voice over saying something like, "Ohhhh...I have a sore throat." It's pretty lame for LA. For anywhere. I think an international email reply to this is called for. Maybe we can each say that we are writing from (your country) and take offense to this. At the same time we can suggest that they consider adding songs from "Pocket Universe" to their playlist. Their slogan is "Today's Best Music" The Email address is test@test.test website: star987 Regards, FG # 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. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Mar 1998 15:55:23 CET From: "Henrik Betnér" Subject: Re: (yello) Artistic License Hiya! Since I'm quite new on the list I don't know if this has been said before, but I'll go on anyway: The Swedish national radio network has one channel for younger listeners (P3), which since about 5 years has used a sampled piece of "Oh Yeah" as their "identity spot". They used the short, whispered "Chik-e-chikaaa..."-line, but during later years they have used the straight sample in lesser extent and instead transmutated it into "chiketikow-wow". Most people in Sweden recognize this sample, but not many know that it's taken directly out of a Yello song. Those whom I've asked what they think it is, think that the radio network has done it themselves.
