Anyway, Here is a review of Zebra that Sweden's biggest Morning Paper, 'Dagens Nyheter' made of it when it was released (I cut'em all out and put them inside the CD, if it is a good review). I translated it, just to be sure, if there happens to be someone without a Swedish Dictionary...;) "Yello is the synthduo whose sound differs from anything else, partly because of their incredible wealth of ideas, partly because of their surrealistic elegance. There is no stopping their breakneck ideas, they have NO restraints whatsoever. 'Zebra(Mercury/Polygram)' is a digital trip around the globe through techno, hornsections, djungledrums, indian meditationmusic, ambient techno, reggae, bossa, moviesoundtracks, sampled mouthsounds, even more techno -and then the strange recitations of Dieter Meier. You cannot call him a singer, but he's a vocalist with unmistakeable character. Always as faultlessly cool, no matter what the speed, and always with a quiet smile in the corner of his mouth. You Rarely get to listen to music as lustfully composed." I also have one more review of Zebra from another Swedish mag -if anybody's interested?

Perhaps we should be posting to 'guys and gals' (as Jimmy Saville used to say - only UK fans may remember him!). And judging by your later posting you took part in the discussion perfectly.

Some of your recent postings, when challenged, turn out to be jokes, and not to be taken seriously. If you're doing this to stimulate discussion, it certainly seems to be working!

I read a lot of reviews of Zebra and PU in Russian press and noticed that all these review thought Zebra was a brilliant album like all other Yello albums. I haven't find any negative comments. Critics thought that Zebra is a 'classical' Yello album. What was even more confusing was the >largely negative reviews of PU. Yes, it's strange how tastes differ. Many reviews of PU in our press thought that PU was a very good album although Yello did a lot of techno in PU (but this techno was amazing). Some of them wrote that Yello haven't leave their 'usual' style in music (!) and ,on the other hand, they haven't repeated themselves. Other reviews was negative. But most of all reviews I read highly appreciated PU and thought that it was still brilliant Yello music. >It seems that if the music is too conformist (ie. doesn't try anything new) >- or if it is too disjointed it gets slated. For many >groups its a no win situation. People always expect from Yello something new, something that noone used before them. They didn't expect from them 'traditional music' which is largely used by a lot of other musicians. This is a reason of these negative reaction on PU and (in particular) Zebra. If any other groups play traditional music, then noone would be disappointed in them! >Just like home, work or family life - *sometimes* conflict is good.

I don't know how anybody could agree on any kind of conflict where the result made things worse or had no reason. I was thinking more about where conflict can make an overall situation better (or in the case of this Yello list) more interesting. Politcal and social situations on a country/nationwide basis is a different issue in this sense, perhaps. Also, I'm sure that political conflict can arise not from boredom, but sometimes from neccessities brought on from the need for basic resources - and certain places in Russia are perfect examples. As for PU - I think Yello are on the right path. But I don't make the mistake of thinking the music buying public will catch onto Yello's style. I think it's too late now.

Okay, I admit it, 'Oh Yeah' was the first Yello song I ever heard, when it was in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' There was never a soundtrack made for 'Ferris,' so I had to pick a whole Yello CD. The choice was between 'Stella' and 'One Second' (BTW, does anyone know why 'Oh Yeah' is on both albums?) Anyways, I bought my very first Yello album, 'Stella' at the ripe old age of 14, and I've been hooked ever since.

This because I think there's no critic who can write a review that's objective. It is and always will be an opinion touched by facts. And I think I'm better qualified to do that personally for myself. Maybe if I ever find a critic that has the same taste in music as I have, I'll read his/her reviews, but concearning Yello (the main thing in music) for example, I find it much more interesting and fullfilling to hear what people on this list experience then to find out what someone thinks that gets paid to tell me what he/she thinks. Doesn't mean I can't see it as just another opinion, but a forced one then. It's a bit of a pitty that critics have an influence on a lot of people. You can read, but have to decide for yourself... Groeven, Olaf. Because the difference between good and bad music is the listener. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1998 08:49:21 +0000 From: James.Gillett@iceland.co.uk Subject: (yello) Yellow ...ur is that Yello >>>My big let down on Zebra was the drums in "Fat City" which sound like an almost exact copy of the drums from........ geeez brain meltdown, Also, I thought that the tracks 'Tremendous Pan', 'Move Dance Go Bald', and 'How How (The Prefix) were quite a let down to. ; - ) (Hee Hee..)

I heard "Vicious games" on Swedish radio 1985 and got interested, but didn't find any album. About a year later I heard "Goldrush" and also bought "You gotta say yes to another excess" and was absolutely stunned. I still love their pre-1990-albums the most, but I'm aware of that I've got a lot of nostalgic memories with those albums... - - Henrik B. PS.

Hi, My name is Greg VIALLE, I'm French and I'm new in this mailing list and I= 'm happy to know that I'm not the only foul fo Yello on this planet ! Yello and me is a long and wonderful story - I'll try to tell you it with= my small knowledge of English... The first time I heard about Boris & Dieter, it was with the hit The Race= ... A friend of my father lent him the tape of Flag because of the same song = and it was my favorite too with Of Course I'm Lying, Otto Di Catania and Tied Up. I don't know why (maybe the na=EFvety of kids), I thought that it was= the only album they made !!! 2 years later, in a little German report, I hear= d a music which very sounds like Yello style (good melody with funny instrume= nt) and the next day I went to my music store and decided to buy the ESSENTIA= L to know if it was... I found the track (Jungle Bill) but a lot of I ever heard too... I can remember me singing on Vicious Games (I was 10) and remember the French commercials of Levis with Bostich... Some mounths lat= er, I bought the complete list of the albums and now Yello is my favourite group. Baby was the last I bought, but certainly my favourite. My favouri= te tracks are first Desire and She's Got A Gun. I'm always looking for Blue Nabou who was used in a French commercials of Orangina (drink) and I woul= d like so much to hear it again. Now... It's sure that Zebra and Pocket Universe are a little bit detached= of the Baby style but I think Yello had to up one notch in music because of = the tendances and they have accepted the challenge with brilliance I think.
