To me it sounds just like mainstream techno, and doesn't have much to do with Yello at all. I like good techno music, but this new style is very far from the original unique style of Yello and quite standard. Where has all the excitement and innovatism gone !? I bought PU two days ago, and I'm not very impressed with it either. It's better than Baby, and especially Zebra, but a lot worse than for example Solid Pleasure or Stella. Where Zebra and Baby seemed to represent a transition phase to techno music, PU completes that phase. It has some good old Yello-style musical landscapes especially in the middle part of the album. I'm not against techno, but if going to techno means losing the band's best quality, distinctiveness and unique sound, then it will prove to be their artistic nemesis. After PU I listened to some of their older songs from the New Mixes album, and noticed one clear difference with the whole concept. It seems that Dieter hasn't spent much time with PU, he's more like a visitor who only features on a couple of tracks, while in New Mixes and other older albums he's an equal part of the duo. Maybe he's spending all his time with the movie, but if he doesn't come back to music business, Yello will be reduced to Boris Blank. Boris is a fantastic musician, but Yello can really only exist with the full presence of Dieter Meier.

My good friends, the eyes have seen av review of PU i my lokal paper, Sydsvenska Dagbladet. It's written by Herbert Tinz, and I'm afraid that he didn't think very much of it. (For me, that usually goes with Herbert Tinz as well). It's as follows: "The 97-model of Yello is a stone dead story. The only sign that the corpse is alive is the collaboration with Stina Nordenstam on the fabulous "To The Sea". Fabulous thanks to Stina that is. The singel is recomended. Boris Blank and Dieter Meyer ought to look for something else to do, on the techno scene they are completley run over by younger and more imaginative forces" Well, what can you say. I think that reviews like these are best left without a comment, with the exeption that he least he could have gotten Dieters last name right. I think that that's the most positive thing I can come up with in this case. Have anyone else seen any reviews of the album that they wish to share ? I, for one, am very curious of what other papers think of the album. There must be some reviewers out ther with good taste.

From one side, "Stella" is richest in musical ideas and new sounds. I noticed that everyone likes this piece. However, I still prefer smoothness and refinement of "One second" and "Baby". There is less experiment in these to albums, but I like a feel of each note being exactly in place it should be. I think it comes with experience of performers. Finally… I vote for "Baby". By the way, does anybody know other people who play music more or less similar to "Yello"? I think that "Art of Noise" fits in this description.

Me neither. Here's the story of why I think ZEBRA is such a great album. I kept up w/ Yello through Flag, which I thought was brilliant. I liked all of them but was too young to really appreciate the earlier stuff. Gradually though I lost interest in Yello as I discovered musical things besides European synth pop. Baby came out and because it was a $20 import I never bothered to get it. The low point came when, during a summer in which I was completely broke, I sold my Yello collection to buy food and pinball games. Too bad. Flashforward, 1996: about a year ago I am visiting a friend in San Francisco and in a record store there I find the Yello 12" box set, the yellow vinyl one. Just seeing it brought back a flood of fond memories, and it was so beautiful that i got it. upon listening to the collection, which mainly spans the EXCESS - ONE SECOND period, I was amazed that I had ever lost touch. It was amazing, and plus it was on vinyl which I am convinced had never been played before. In fact, I think that if anyone thinks that vinyl doesn't really sound better than cd's, they should listen to Yello on vinyl. But that's another argument. To make a short story shorter, I decided to see what was up with Yello of late, so I got Zebra. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING AURAL EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD. The depth of Yello had both shifted and remained true to form. Contrary to my expectations that they would have sounded dated and tired, it was the freshest sound I'd heard in a long time. "Nighttrain" is just about as stunning a song as you will find anywhere, "How how" is the mix of "Oh Yeah" I'd rather hear, when I hear "SAX" i can't help but to jerk like a horny pony would. I think they're doing great on their later albums. The span of their vision is an amazing accomplishment, as is their adaptation to/innovation of new sounds. So now I'm rebuilding my Yello collection--on vinyl this time--and Yello if youre out there sorry for my lapse in faith.

I asked the thing in there years ago. Translation of the lyrics are found from the various Yello webpages --- I did get it at the same time with this discussion. They are at least agreeing that it is "ouad". Juhana == clip == Joe Angel: Ouad el habib = beloved boy OR valley of the beloved, i.e., where my beloved dwells. The transliteration 'OUAD' is ambiguous; it could mean 'boy' in North African dialects or Arabic, and could mean 'valley' or 'quarter' in classical Arabic. Sadik Sebbar Alaoui: OUAD doese not mean vallley or boy in arabic or north african dialects, OUAD mean only river, but river of beloved must be interpreted with a bit romantic Joe Angel: Every Arabic language geography text I have ever read employs 'wad' (waw, alef, dal; this is what I take 'ouad' to be) to mean 'valley' (exchangeably with 'wadi'). You are of course correct in stating that 'wad' also means 'river', but this is not the ONLY meaning. In fact, most native speakers of Arabic would use 'nahr', rather than 'wad', to denote a river. # 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: Juhana K Kouhia Subject: (yello) Pan Blue and Resistor Date: 12 Mar 1997 16:15:49 +0200 I thought the "go"s in Resistor are sung by Dieter or Boris. If they are stolen from Moby, then I would like to have an audiofile containing the copy of Moby's "go" --- just to verify it myself. Yello's "go"s seems to be all different... Well, Resistor seems to be a parody of the rave/techno songs. I understand this "go" (or "let the beat go" whatever) are used in quite many songs and not least in Modules found from the network. Funny "faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster" at 6:15 of the song means, of course, the beat is just not fast enough. In Pan Blue, the processed background voice says clearly "Yello" and perhaps some times "olley" and "olleyello". What do you think?

Funny thing, if one should mention that he enjoys "electronic" music, the average person would assume, "Oh, so you like Pink Floyd." I haven't seen mention of them at all here-thankfully( no offense intended if you happen to be a fan of theirs). Yello is one of the few in my collection that has "Carte Blanche" privelidges. If Boris did a PF tribute I'd likely buy-and love it.

New on this list. There's been some talk about music similar to Yello, and one group that springs to mind is Moloko. Check out their first and only (?) album "Do you like my tight sweater"! Even if their music is more some kind of freaked-out Triphop with some drum'n'bass, there are a number of similarities, especially to older Yello: the weird noises, the creative and very synth-based production and of course the bizarre humor in the lyrics. Very enjoyable, and I think Boris would agree. Dieter, I don't really know. Anyone got any indications on Dieter's own musical taste?

Date: 17 Mar 1997 16:09:00 +0100 HI YELLO freaks! I hope your discussions about tuna and all the other animals has anything to do with Yello. The following lines have ....(something to do with yello) I went to the Pocket Universe Show at the planetary in Munich and I have to say: IT IS A MUST for any real Yello fan Shure they use the P.U. tracks from the album without changing or remixing anything. The music for the show follows the chronology of the album, but they excluded: more, to the sea and magnetic An interesting fact is that the part between Celsius and On Track fits perfectly together, because Celsius ends with wispers and On Track beginns with just the same whispers. It seems that More does not really fit between the two tracks and it was done later. The transition from Monolith to Liquid Mountain (excluding To The Sea and Magnetic) was not so brilliant, because you can hear the seagulls and the waves from To The Sea. The complete Time for the show is about 42 minutes. And it is a mixture between a laser show (using the most expensive and newest lasers available) and a multi video screen show. Most amazing was the part with On Track and Monolith using the laserbeams (multicolored) with lots of fog and stroboscope. The video clips are simmilar to the typical race, bostich, goldrush videos using kitchentools, Boris and Dieters head and of course the pocket universe head. When reading the score (the end titles) you will hear the radio remix from to the sea And when you leave the planetarium, you will know more about the universe, your pocket and of course your kitchen....

Baby time is off, but Pocket is a new step in Yello work ! Of course, Zebra was a meet with new style, but I don't think that a lot of people doesn't like it ! I think that we must be tolerant with this choice of Boris - pop had done its time ! I like techno, but not too commercial ! New albums (Zebra & Pocket) use this kind of style but Boris' style & art is still on tracks !!! I think it is a question of time - like all ! Here are finally my notes about Pocket after some days of non-stop listening : SOLAR DRIFTWOOD intro - Terrific ! CELSIUS - Good enough ! I really like the African rhythm and the *blocked nose* voice ! A bit close to Jean-Michel Jarre's (French electro musician) style. MORE - I really like this one (It can be love...) ! Sounds & melodies are genials (0'28...) ! Some of them (like metalic water...) makes me think again to Jarre's style ! ON TRACK - Good !!! Close to Jarre's style too !!!!!! MONOLITH - Very *messtic* like MASSAGE ! Close to Eric Serra's (French musician of Le Grand Bleu, Nikita, Leon...) work in Atlantis (french film where just animals were actors) with flute. Rhythm makes me think to Alhambra's !!! TO THE SEA - b e a u t i f u l p i e c e Rhythm, melody, and voice are in perfect harmony. Sweet, strong and mysterious - makes me think to DO IT (best part at 3'05 - Boris has yet hurted) ! This jungle (!?) rhythm on a calm charming voice is very good idea - magnifique ! Contrary to some on the list, I think it is a very good track (maybe the most !). I personnaly thing that Dieter's voice won't works with the too shrill melody !

That's one of many things you can do. I have (too many) suggestions to make, but a complete remastering with loads of bonus tracks wouldn't hurt, would it? It's all up to Mercury (and Yello), what they want to do: you could release all the singles on CD (like Depeche Mode did), you could put all 12" versions on CD (part 1-3 or so), etcetera. Last spring I spoke to Mr Big at mercury about this, and told him I could help them, and he liked the idea although they had PU to think about first.

There is quite a few points that I will make but I'll keep them short , Yello's music is deeper in it's understanding of the Universe ( or lack of ) though it's music but I feel that again they are expermenting with their sound although the bass has grown to major levels never heard by Yello before ( CAUTION some tracks can damage speakers if up too loud! ). In some ways it's typical Yello stying in the way the songs start with a whisper, then erupt in subsonic bass , pause for a breather in the middle and start again! The music has a more techno sound but is still has those little bit's and pieces that make Yello what it is , although the old sound has in a way has died. How does everyone else feel about P.U?

There are for sure tracks that we've never heard yet too, probably enough to make a complete soundtrack since Boris has been working on it since 1985! Btw, the music that appeared in Ford Fairlane was never released in that form on Baby. The music was remixed and re-recorded extensively, and also not every tune was used on Baby. Some versions were *really* cool.

You might want to check out www.cdteleshop.com They are located in the Netherlands and have a secure server if you use Netscape (so credit card information can be transmitted safely). I was able to get PU for about $25 (U.S.) including shipping to the U.S. (Although I don't actually have the CD yet - ordered it 7 days ago and was told to expect a 7-10 day period for shipping to the US... I'm getting antsy!!!) I like CDNOW's information on each disk - including catalog numbers,track listings, and often RealAudio clips of many songs (they offer much more than any other web site), but they don't always have the best prices. # 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: Barry Lancaster Subject: Re: (yello) PU - CDNOW vs cdteleshop Date: 27 Mar 1997 19:37:52 -0700 At 6:26 PM -0500 3/27/97, LoungeFly is rumored to have typed: >(Although I don't actually have the CD yet - ordered it 7 days ago and was >told to expect a 7-10 day period for shipping to the US...

Janes/Joseph Pagan) Subject: (yello) Salutations Date: 28 Mar 1997 14:17:59 -0700 (MST) Greetings Fellow Yello Yahoos! I'm relatively new to the list. I've been lurking for a few weeks,waiting until I had something besides "hello" to say. Thanks (Jonas?) for clarifying whether Hands On is a part of the official discography. I almost felt bad about not being able to say I've got all of yello's albums. That one was a big disappointment for moi. My thoughts on P.U.: It's not one of their best albums, but I still like it. After all the fuss about "To the Sea", I was expecting a lot worse from that cut. The Steve B-Zet remix is disposable. I don't mind the shift back to towards "techno", but the music isn't as finely crafted as earlier works. P.U. is obviously one of Boris and Dieter's collaborations, but seems to be missing some of the ingredients that makes yello YELLO. Favorite Yello album: I do believe someone out there initiated a survey on this. I have to qualify my answer on this. My "favorite" is probably One Second. I like how every sound is so precisely placed within a sonic tapestry. The album I find myself listening to the most is Baby. I'm an over the top audiophile, and the sound quality of Baby is fantastic. If someone was to ask me to pick the quintessential yello album I'd say Stella. Concerning the release of remixes/b sides and remastering: There are so many ways you can go with this. And of course the record company's going to take the easy way out. I'd like to see one of these courses pursued. A boxed set of ALL remixes/b sides etc. on cd singles. A boxed set of REMASTERED (those early albums sound really dull) albums (let's say the first 4-5) with 2-3 full length discs containing all the remixes/b sides. Let's throw in a cool book or video while we're at it. Sounds like the Pink Floyd boxed set? Yup. As for second hand stores being inundated with used copies of old yello albums... I don't think there are THAT many yello nuts out there that are going to dump there collection so they can have the boxed set, so let's make it a Limited Edition deal. I'm salivating already.

Janes/Joseph Pagan) Subject: (yello) P.U. for sale Date: 28 Mar 1997 14:23:58 -0700 (MST) I've got an unopened copy of P.U. for sale. CDNow sent me a copy after I canceled my order. If there's anyone out there having a hard time getting the disc or is tired of waiting for there order to come in let me know. I'm asking what I paid: $31.48 (cost $28.99 + $2.49 shipping) Please let me know ASAP. CDNow only allows 14 days for returns on imports, so I need to know soon.

It's a signed, limited edition of 500, which contains a different Boris mix of "Do It" (otherwise unreleased, to my knowledge, possibly in a DJ pack??) and excerpts from 4 other tracks that are on Zebra (parts of the same mixes as on the album, I think). I don't know what this would be worth, so let me know if you're interested. I'd prefer to trade for some other Yello oddity. I'm also trying to find a few things by Killing Joke and Cabaret Voltaire, among others. --Mark __ ==> MPEG audio clips <== m u s i c : w e b : s o u n d d e s i g n : h t m l : c g i : e t c "We invented machines in order to reduce our work.

Yes, mainly the melodies and the humour, the craziness. There are no "songs" on it as we know them. Even though Zebra was also techno oriented, it was more song oriented than PU. > Concerning the release of remixes/b sides and remastering: There are so many > ways you can go with this.

In around 1987 I saw Yello at the Wag club in London performing a Venasage. Whilst hanging around with my girlfriend I noticed a face in the crowd that I recongnised. It was Bal from the cabs. We had a good 15minute talk and he said that Yello were a MAJOR influence on CV. joolz@cix.compulink.co.uk # 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: JULZMON@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) Caberet Voltaire Date: 30 Mar 1997 19:58:04 -0500 (EST) Hello everyone I thought cabaret was around way before Yello. Also for Richard Kirk fans the new Nitrogen on his label is very good cant stop listening to it and the Agents With False Memories is ok its one big track . I'm also disapointed that people seem not to like the new Yello. I love it I think its amazing, its supposed to be a semi sereous album so the humor isnt as promonent but the BASS is my fav part of the album. I love that Boris has such controll of the bass thats whats impressive just like William Orbits music. world peice..

I found this while surfing through the swiss part of the net: http://www.eunet.ch/news/news_yello.html It's some info (written in german) about the future plans about The Homebase. -A bit old but it seems like they have some great ideas for the page.
