From: "Jonas Warstad" Subject: (yello) How How/Tremendous Pain Date: 01 Jan 1997 10:11:56 +0100 As usual, for Yello's own original versions, always refer to my non-album list. It lists *every* track or version that Yello themselves made. Here's a guide to How How remixes anyway: The Fluke Mixes are actually quite OK, not too different from the Yello sound. Normally I really detest DJ/re-mixes, but this time it's OK. The only problem is that all Fluke mixes sound the same. But remember that Yello have absolutely *nothing* to do with these mixes. The Plutone Mixes are crap. Only for completists. Tremendous Pain: Yello made their own mixes on this one, so if you want their own mixes, go on and buy it. There are also some non-Yello mixes on it (German: 2 mixes; US: 2 mixes). Mind you: if you've heard one Yello remix, you've heard them all: their Tremendous mixes are very sound-alike, just like on the Jungle Bill single. It's their most "techno" so far, and probably not very enjoyable unless you love hard core techno. Finally, like I said, I have details on all of Yello's own mixes on my Yello page.

I think Jonas is perfect contact > person. Please make an offer for them. Thanks for your confidence. Believe me, I have probably written more letters and made more phone calls to Yello management and to Mercury Records in Hamburg, than any other fan! I have made more suggestions that you could ever imagine, and asked even more questions. The result? Well, so-so. One person, who is the most knowledgeable person, working directly with Yello, has told me that Boris agrees on a long interview for a book. Which is not bad. And when I asked the boss of Mercury if and when all "rare" Yello tracks will be released (I phoned him in Spring 1996), he told me that their priority now is the new LP which was scheduled for release in May 1996! He also told me that Yello are "always late", but he did so without any criticism in his tone of voice, implying that he and Yello had by now reached a point were they were even joking about it. When I asked if Mercury had any intention of releasing B-sides, 12" mixes etc, he told me it was only a matter of negotiation, meaning that Mercury was open to my suggestion, but that they had to get an approval from Yello themselves first. I also asked Mercury for any information they had on Yello, and I was told that all info was stored in computers, and that they would send it to me. Nothing happened so far..... :( I still haven't heard from Yello about my interview, either. :( I keep getting the reply that Boris is "almost finished" with his new album, and that they will phone me very soon.... Conclusion: I would be delighted to maintain their official page, but why should they let me? It's probably easier for them to let a hired pro do the job for them, a German/Swiss one that they could contact easily for updates. Money is no problem for Yello. Having said all this, I will of course suggest all these things to Yello when (IF!) I get my interview. But I'm certain that they will update their page for the coming album. > Ok, everybody are making discographies these days: Lazlo, a person in > Finland, Jonas, and even I have Yello Songs listing based on Lazlo's > official discography.

I want to make a discog that's succint and precise, stressing the various mixes and durations. And Lazlo's discography is not "official". Official means authorized in this case, which it is not. No criticism, it's the most complete on the net. (But not really updated) And one more thing: I don't think that the other discogs are merely "based on Lazlo's official discography". I made my own researches based on my own records and information, and I believe that the other persons also did their own researches. OK, that's all for now. I hope that we will soon see the new album, and that more acticity will follow: discussions, singles, my interview, plans for "rare" CDs, an updated Yello official page, etcetera!

I think the Fluke mixes are very good it keeps the Yello nature in mix, and the plutone mixes are very good also. But I can see if you dont like tekno you probably wont like them. As far as the Tremendous pain I think that was Boris's greatest accomplishment as far as the deep dance music is concerned.

The page is titled "Deiter Meier Interprets 'Stella' -Track by Track". "Desire"- Night, alone amongst the crowd, the usual juant from one club to another. From the heavy darkness of the last bar, out onto the street, in the sunlight that bursts in you face, hurting your eyes and the heavy laughs at all the craziness: the desire for everything. "Desire for the unknown eyes, desire for the unknown name, I'm burning in the morning sun, I run and run. The sun, blowing the moon away, lights me up for one more day. The streets are naked in the morning sun, the night is behind me, I run and run." [ footnote: it was during this period a penfriend of mine got an autograph from Deiter at a bar in Austria] "Vicious Games"- I've hurt you, and now that you're gone, I love you. Don't ever come back, I don't ever want to hurt you again. "Oh Yeah"- "The sun...beautiful, the moon...even more beautiful." The fantastic naive beauty of the Southern Seas. the majestic King Tou Tou, rolling his eyes, explains to the English Ambassador, who just arrived, about the red sun that dives into the Pacific Ocean. How he waits for the moon which will come to refresh him once again tonight! "Desert Inn"- "It's crazy to enter the bar, it's crazy to see Baby, it's just crazy." 650 miles past Sand Diego, across the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, in the cold night of the desert, the gas tank filled twice and even that lost time, I enter the bar where Mona, the divine Mona, pretends for a long time that she hasn't been waiting for me, then with Casablanca eyes, asks if I had a smooth trip. My heart trembles like it used to, and I owe it all to Mona. "Stalakdrama"- The prisoner's scream liberates the rock, and the entie cave trembles with this new freedom. Nino Rotta pulls a swan across the lake, and the princess plays the trumpet for the first time. dated 3/85 (I'll get to the others soon-promise) # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Lazlo Nibble" Subject: (yello) Re: Yello Club/misc Date: 01 Jan 1997 23:19:29 -0700 (MST) >> Perhaps we could make just one discography which satisfies all of us? > > I guess not.

They just are third party remixes and I have heard too many other third party remixes. Perhaps I'm missing something by not owning those versions. Perhaps I will look for that probe sound in Star Trek movies. If the sound is just a sound made by whales, then it is available in many sound libraries. Jonas could ask Boris if he himself steals sounds from others, right Jonas? I agree with Cliff about discographies. I have already started to write the Yello database from which various discographies could be printed out. Contact to me if you want discuss about technical details.

Date: 02 Jan 1997 21:00:17 +0100 Dear Yello fans! May I present my new discography, which covers all German releases. As I told you before, it's succint and precise, and introduces a New Standard. All tracks are scrutinized to the most minute detail to get this New Standard, meaning that all releases have very details information about track length and versions. All tracks that are the same, also have a standard duration, no matter what duration is given on the cover. This clears any confusion. I determined the durations by using the CD player clock (exactly when the music stops). For vinyl-only tracks/versions I didn't rely on the durations given, but I clocked the tracks, all of them, (having secured the 33rpm speed of course). Next I will do the UK discog, then the US. (So, Lazlo Nibble, you see now that this isn't a rip off from your discog....) ****************************** Yello detectives wanted: ****************************** I'm looking for three reliable Yello discography partners. One for German releases, one for UK and one for US, for "detective field work". I will maintain all my discogs myself, but there are some things that I can't do from where I live, mainly asking for release dates in your record store, giving me tracks listings on some singles (even I don't buy everything!). You should be a serious Yello fan, preferably a collector of both CD and vinyl, a Yello expert in your part of the world, and generally on the ball. (Girls are welcome too!) You will be specially mentioned in my discog, of course. Honour, honour!

The sky opens, two angels descend to earth and put things in order. "Domingo"- "Domingo, you showed us just nothing like no one before." Preachers in the desert, hell-bound Cerberus, mast climbers, mourners and the Pope's son who also wants to become Pope, all let themselves be exalted and damned by Domingo de Santa Clara, who entered the Wallenstein camp under a false name, driving the officers of the superstitious Marshall crazy by promising them prey and loot. "Sometimes (Dr.Hirsch)"- "Sometimes I wish I could cry." Not being able to be loved and hoping at least to know the sensation of pain. But even that is refused to this poor heart of stone. This hunted man takes one plane after the other, meeting friends in different cities...and talks...talks way too much. "Let Me Cry" "All these years I haven't seen you, love is still the same. Now you must believe me, now I play my game. I know I left you when I loved you, couldn't tell you why. Too sad the day, too sad for tears...let me cry." "Ciel Ouvert"- Madame Pasquier calls the damned around her. An army of helicopters circle down from the sky, like bees on the first days of early summer, and under her orders form the choruses of tin and steel: where is the Redemption, Madame? "Angel No"- The angel protects the witch against herself, and attracts her into the house of a crook who does not want to live in the drunkenness of her beauty. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: FranzGall@aol.com Subject: (yello) pocket univers at the IMAX in Munich Date: 05 Jan 1997 09:43:04 -0500 Hi, Before I left my Munich home yesterday, I read in our local newspaper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, an ad of the IMAX theatre in Munich, announcing - YELLO pocket univers, magic music & more - Unfortunately I am at the U.S. for a week now and cannot see the movie (?).

He > recommended a few bandleaders (Prima, Prado, Cachao, Machito--not sure if > I've got the spelling right). Anyone knowledgable? I can help with a little info about this... Perez Prado (trumpet/bandleader) is an excellent place to start. Fun, fun stuff! Some of the most enjoyable music in the entire world. Of course, he is very famous for the classic "Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White)" (aka "Cerezo Rosa"), but it is the mambos which will really get you scooting around the floor. "10 Grandes Exitos Para PEREZ PRADO y su Orquesta" (RCA/Bertelsmann de Mexico #9741-2-RL) is a good introduction. Some of these recordings might date back fifty years or more! I received this as a gift, but I believe it's fairly cheap (around $7.00, US). It should be readily available in the United States, in the "Latin Music" section of a good, large store. Another good C.D. I have is "Sabroso!" (Fantasy/Original Jazz Classics #OJCCD -281-2) by percussionist/bandleader Mongo Santamaria. This was recorded in the early 1960s. It isn't as "pop"-sounding as, say, Perez Prado, and may be of more interest to jazz fans. Some of the songs here are examples of the "charanga" style, which I've read was enormously influential on disco groups like Chic. I couldn't notice that immediately, but this is still a very energetic and enjoyable C.D. Santamaria has many other albums available on C.D. Check the "Jazz" section of your music store. Another excellent starting point is Tito Puente. And there are many others... --- Joe Castleman (jcastle@eden.com) Gyrofrog Communications http://www.eden.com/~jcastle Austin, Texas U.S.A.

As we all know, Boris does the studio work, and then he "truly invites" Dieter into the studio to do the lyrics and vocals, usually in a week or two. That's how they work. Obviously during the recording of One Second, Dieter was "occasionally present" during the producing and engineering process, but I doubt that he did more than giving his point of view. Boris does the "knob work".

I'd like to add to this. Boris may indeed have been influenced by these standards but a few others worthy of noting here are August Darnell and Coati Mundi. They too no doubt were influenced by the aforementioned masters but throughout their recording careers have managed to build collages based on fusing sounds of Afro-Cuban, Salsa, Mambo and other latin standards with modern dance (disco at times) to arrive at their own unique signature. Together they basically *are* Kid Creole & the Coconuts and Dr. Buzzards Original Savannah Band. Their reach goes well beyond that in having penned the disco standard "There But For The Grace of God (Go I)" and providing the orchestration for Christina's cover of the Beatles "Drive My Car." (this rendition seems to have a loose tie to "I Love You"??) Their "moment in the sun" may have been an on stage appearance in the movie "Against All Odds" (club scene). I would suggest the SIRE releases of the mid '80's for starters. While at the podium, I think it is woth mentioning here that the creators of Ace Ventura-Pet Detective missed a golden opportunity to use Yello's music in the Cuban Pete sequence.

Those of you in Europe have quite a few more Prado reissues to choose from, so take advantage of it! -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: FGriego@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) Cuba Libre Date: 07 Jan 1997 20:19:27 -0500 In a message dated 97-01-06 00:18:28 EST, jcastle@eden.com (Joe Castleman) writes: >Count Fontclaire said: > >> Well, last night I played one of my housemates some Yello and asked him my >> "genre question," and he said it was Cuban music that I'm after...

(jcastle@eden.com) gave direction to the "source" of some of this music that was sought. I feel it is also important to point out some artists that were influenced by these classics and may have helped fuel Boris' fire as well. August Darnell and Coati Mundi for the most part *are* Kid Creole & the Coconuts and Dr. Buzzards Original Savannah Band. Thoughout their individual and collective recording careers they have melded together Afro-Cuban, Mambo, Salsa and modern dance pop (disco at times). That "sound" can also be heard in some of their productions and/or songs they've penned. Machine did "There But For The Grace of God (Go I)" and Christina sang the Beatles "Drive My Car" in a M.Monroesque style with the guys providing the orchestration-classic. (appeared on a ZE Records compilation that also introduced Was(Not Was) ). Hindsight shows she would've made a great chioce as vocalist for "Vicious Games." # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jonas Warstad" Subject: Re: (yello) Pocket Univers MultimediaShow Date: 08 Jan 1997 06:35:42 +0100 > I found more info about the Pocket Universe multimediale Musikshow > but unfortunatly it is in German, maybe somone can translate it? > > http://www.fdt.de/noframes/pl_yello.html At least I can say that the Multimediashow in Munich is kind if pre-viewing the Yello album Pocket Universe in their multimedia way, and, most importantly, the new album Pocket Universe is COMING IN FEBRUARY!!!!!

Well, You are right my homepage is http://unet.univie.ac.at/~a9103394 I used the long break in the winter holidays to clean my homepage up: So will only get the Yello pages, because I had not enough time to finish the others. (Yes, I have also other things to do...studying...girlfriend...work...) I added the Yello-news. Where I will update all the info I get from my record store, friends and also from this Yello list - Hope this is no problem for you. You will find most of the words of yellosongs (including the Arab Quad El Habib, Beyond Mirrors in English and German) I tried to make soundfiles of On Track and Beyond Mirrors, but I failed to convert them from Mac to WAVE data. Hope somebody has an idea how to solve this problem. The discography in my site is not complete, but I can say that I own most of the vinyl's you see. So it is primarily to show my collection to others. I am planning to add links with pictures and text to most of the files. Jonas and Lazlo have a different opinion about disccogs, but I think we live in the age of multimedia, and the internet is the right media to publish such things with picture and sounds links. A standard discography is a thing you can send via e-mail or by fax. Yes and the last thing I want to say is: I've got a second ON TRACK box. Somebody interested.

All I ask is credit for the translation, and a caveat that some of the words were missing letters, so any items followed by a (?) and what I had are my best guess from what I had and context. ===== "Pocket Universe", the brand-new album of the Swiss music group YELLO, began on 06 December 1996 as a multi-media musical show in the Planetarium of the Technical Forum. Similar to (? anllich) this premiere, the cuts of the new CD "Pocket Universe" by YELLO were presented, which will be offered worldwide first in February 1997. So visitors to the Planetarium already have the opportunity to hear and see the multi-media musical extravaganza by Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. The show was assembled from an idea by Dieter Meier, where "Pocket Universe", the pocket universe of the (Klnge, no idea) on the Planetarium, the Pocket Universe of Lights, was found. Dieter Meier about the YELLO project in the Technical Forum: "In the Planetarium, the place-charm (no colloquial translation I can think of) of YELLO found its true home and is, after years of desperate search from towns and (Wsten -- no idea) returned to the source of childlike (can't tell, too many letters missing). To me, the Planetarium is like a circus of lights. In its dome is condensed the illusion of the Universe, which men call God and a child at the same time, will be astonished at the endless and lost (or left -- lt ?) between (betren) moving points of light in a display on stone." The stylized Kobold found on the CD jacket (? Hlle) of "Pocket Universe" can be found playing a major role in the multi-media show; he is the main rogue from the satchel (or box), a Kaspar that the (Diodennase ... something-nose) shines and cable-hairs stand on end, if he (the next part is literal; may have a colloquial meaning I'm not aware of) if he a trace too inquisitive from rope-dance to trapeze act changes. The pocket-player of (Klnge) tests Houdini's escape act; the Lion-wife bears (? Percke), the calf with two heads is a mirror trick. And Kobold-Dance-Already studies electricity to ... (Translator's note: That last paragraph doesn't mean a great deal to me; maybe it will make more sense to those familiar with the group's work.) Ann ---- Tanks again, Ann.

I went wrong last week, as I read the ad of the Munich's IMAX, announcing YELLO. They also run the planetarium and merge the different offers in one ad. Here is the translation of the German text: Yello Pocket Universe Dieter Meier and Boris Blank are reporting back as Dr. Mabuse of magic words and monsieur Bocus of electronic music - worldwide know as YELLO: they discovered the "Pocket Universe". Absolutely distinct: stop with the old yearnings in trying to explain the universe and trying to use scientific theories as a substitut for religions: Pocket Universe is the name of the new trend towards techno. And this is the way, how the two swiss trendsetters show, what music really means acting as a interstellar language. Singing goblins, sparkling (kitchen) strainers and flashes in a eggcub are granting marvelous discoveries of the bizarre world of Yellos Music. "Pocket Universe", the multimedia music show, offers even now a foretaste for the CD of the same name, which will come out in February 1997.

Billy was found dead on the farm where he lived near his father's dog breeding stables in Auchterhouse, just north of Dundee, Scotland. Fans will remember him for his vocals on some fine Yello songs, including 'Capri Calling', and 'The Rhythm Divine'. The 'One Second' LP is littered with beautifully distinctive backing vocals from Billy, and he has also worked on other Yello projects. Boris Blank worked with Billy on his last LP, notably on the Yelloesque single 'Baby'. In his long career with the Associates he scored notable hits with 'Party Fears Two', 'Club Country' and '18 Carat Love Affair', and marvellously eclectic albums such as 'Sulk' and 'Breakfast'. Billy's operatic singing voice was one of the most distinctive in music. The cause of death is, to date, unknown. Billy was just 39.

Date: 25 Jan 1997 03:24:01 +0200 Yeah. New Yello single "To the Sea" (or such) is out because I did hear it from radio few minutes ago. What is a surprise, is that there is no typical Yello sounds or effects used. Woman singer but the vocals are not processed any curious way -- they are normal. I don't know what version I did hear but I seriously hope it was a third party remix. :-/ I waited about a minute the previous song to end and to make room for the new Yello song, but actually that song was the Yello song. This time you could not say that it is a Yello song by listening to first ten seconds :-( It is okay song anyway. Quite smooth technoque song with okay vocals.

The song is in file yello-to-the-sea.wav in the songs/ subdirectory. The audio is 16 bit, stereo, 11025 Hz. By the way, this is only what I did got to tape because I didn't recognize the song in the first place. Okay I will take a bit back about the unprocessed vocals; there is some processing done but I have to listen to this sample yet one more time, Juhana # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kay Schlette Subject: (yello) "To the sea" video Date: 26 Jan 1997 11:31:25 +0100 Hi! This morning at 5:56 a.m. MTV Europe broadcast the new Yello video clip on Chillout Zone. Dieter and Boris climb walls and swim in the streets of an American city. Others jump horizontally through the air, like from diving towers. This video has nothing in common with the videos Yello did before, and the music is rather different as well. I suppose MTV and other TV stations will broadcast it often in the near future. To me it was high time that Yello changed style a bit. Nevertheless this song lacks the ingenuity of earlier songs (like Goldrush) which Yello tried to copy on the last albums (How How and other songs). Well, I suppose you can't expect them always to have great ideas. But I like the fact that they continue their musical development. I wouldn't have expected so, to be honest.

Date: 27 Jan 1997 23:42:04 +0100 As far as I've been able to verify, To the Sea is not released yet. It's only been played on the radio by some station(s) that somehow got hold of it, maybe a promotional CD. Strangely, it seems that it'll not be on the album. Stina Nordenstam contributes the vocals on it, she was last heard on Vangelis' new CD. She's highly "in demand" by the record companies I've heard.

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? I looked to large book of releases and all versions of Nutbush City Limits were by Tina.

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.
