Jonas, please don't reveal it yet. I have not yet listen to the songs but one sound which popped up to my mind is one in La Habanera. I find that this is a great "trivia" and would like to spend a bit time on it.

How can you *catalogue* Yello (or any music, for that matter) except by when it was written and who by? I'm a Librarian by profession but I wouldn't dream of trying to 'catalogue' an artist! Let's not get too anal retentive about cataloguing creativity - music is to enjoy as a whole, not to disassemble into its constituent parts, surely? With all due respect, Jouhania!

Generally I don't like so called DJ remixes (and Boris told me he doesn't either) but since Boris has had a part in this.... - I was told this 12" had sold quite well in Germany and France, but it's not out on CD although it might be at some point. Very hard to find outside of Germany.... (but then again as Yello fans we are getting used to limited vinyl, aren't we?)

I just labelled that email "Bonkers" shortly before I deleted it, but there again, it's a bit like train spotting. If he's doing no harm, let him get on with it. In reply to your quote:- "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" (Stephen Wright) Surely the answer would be that if you ad everything, surely you would also have some nice big storgae units from Ikea to put it all in.

Well thank you!! |-) David Mayer got it right. The cataloging is done song by song. When we have everything in parts --- perhaps 100 files per song --- we could make the same melodies and effects ourself without the background sounds. Then we just build up the song again or make a new mix. We could also make a mix of two or more songs by picking up the best parts of the songs. Perhaps "cataloging" is a slightly wrong word for this project. I suspect we could steal some sounds and loops directly from the records but due complexity of Yello songs we have to make most of the sounds and all of the vocals ourself. Additionally we could use both the How How/Breaks, Beats & Loops and the Yello Soundstation sample collections. A side note: if you think cataloging is impossible, then how Boris do it?
