Yello & Havana
by Ruhney 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hi there, I'm new to the list, and I hope there's a lot of people out there who read it... I'm at a loss... My heart is broken. - A long time ago a sort of documentary was shown on German Television about Yello shooting the Desire video in Habana. I did tape it then... but it seems I lost the tape. And yes... I hate myself for this. - Has anyone of you a clue which german tv station made this documentary, who broadcasted it? Or does anyone of you have it on tape, and would you be willing to make a copy for me?? Please??!?!??! With kind regards, Rene - The Netherlands.

hands on mixes
by Julian 24 Nov '02

Question. I found the Jam & Spoon/Hands On 12" that has the actual picture cover and is a non promo retail release. Before that I only had the 12" of J&S and Westbam Hands On singles as promos with out artwork just in promo sleeves. I have never seen or heard of these singles coming as a non promo release. Anyone know if Westbam/Plutone Hands On 12" have been released as a retail release with the artwork? Can't wait for the new YELLO. Some music recommendations. Nuspirit Helsinki - Nuspirit Helsinki KOOP - Waltz for Koop Kyoto Jazz Massive Blue States - Man... I hope YELLO gets even more jazzy. I thought Motion Picture had a good amount of jazz flavor.

question:ultimate collectors edition
by Oliver 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hi there, does anybody on this list own the box 'The ultimate collectors edition' including YELCD3 (Of course I'm lying/Metropolitan Mixdown I+II). Sticker says 'Contains disc 1 of a 2 disc set. Disc 2 to be released soon'. The box is to big for 2 slimcase CD so my question is, how was the box filled when it originally contained only the first CD. If possible somebody can send me some description or even jpgs about how box was equipped when sold and should look. Thanks in advance, Oliver

Update - FTP Server Status
by J.R. 15 Nov '02

15 Nov '02

I haven't had a chance to check in for a bit, so here's a quick update: Within two weeks of creating the account, the e-mail address for signing you all up got it's first spam, and I've told no one what it is yet! :[ Most likely it got hit using a dictionary spammer program. I'm going to delete it and create a new one that is a little harder to guess. Thinking yello909@ or something like that. Server testing is on hold until I get more HD space. The HDs I had ready to go had to be used in a different server. :[ ISP will be upgrading the pipe to the server soon. Date not yet announced. It's suppose to be a 2Meg down / 6Meg up (ISP is restructuring their existing system and upgrading equipment). Currently the pipe is equivalent to a full T-1 (1.5 Meg down / 1.5 Meg up). As long as my static IP doesn't change with the upgrade (it shouldn't), you can do some tests to one of edge routers to see what kind of latency and packet loss you get. The IP is 209.105.153.81. Try doing a traceroute to it and see what happens. :) 'nuf for now. Have a great weekend! (I gotta work Sat. Ugg!!)

Some news about Yello - Loud & Clear
by Jonas 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi I don´t know if all of you subscribe to Jonas Warstads mailinglist, but he sent this out earlier today. This is the press release from Yello office: LOUD & CLEAR On the 22nd of November 2002 BALTIC, Centre of Contemporary Art has the world première of a new and outspoken DVD project, called LOUD & CLEAR. For a period of 2 years the Bifrons Foundation in Amsterdam has worked on this ambitious project it initiated in 1999 and Baltic as co-organizer is now very proud to present LOUD & CLEAR in Gateshead to the public. LOUD & CLEAR is basically about electronic signboards nowadays to be found more and more in streets and other public places. Signboards are made for the purpose of advertising commercial products. Here advertising is used for a non-commercial purpose. Visual artists, composers and publicity designers have been asked to make a DVD film and to work together in an individual way. This makes the project unique. Never before have art, advertising and music been brought together in this way, instead of the disciplines merely being confronted with each other. In LOUD & CLEAR each participant was asked to make his or her own contribution as an autonomous art piece, while ensuring that a dialogue was created during the process to prevent the visual aspect of each DVD as a whole becoming too independant. In most cases discussions first took place between composers and visual artists about musical preferences. Later on musicians in Amsterdam, Reykjavik, Zurich and New York started to execute the newly made compositions. At a third stage these compositions were handed over to the visual artists and publicity designers. The former were invited to make an art piece on film and the latter were asked to advertise on film the world of the artist or the artist's DVD film as a non-commercial product in itself. Obviously both disciplines have been either inspired or steered by the music, which plays a dominant role in many of the DVDs. Each DVD reveals a lively symbiosis of art, music/sound and advertising. LOUD & CLEAR shows that art is definitely different from advertising, and vice versa. Something which no one will be surprised at, yet at the same time it is something that should be said here and now, and LOUD & CLEAR. There is no doubt that in all the disciplines employed ? even the technical ones of the Dutch company Anything Is Possible, for example - creativity is at a refreshing high level. Looking and listening to the results one is immediately struck by the way in most cases the visual artists tend to produce slowly moving images, as if life should have no beginning and no end. The publicity designers tend to make a paraphrase of the artist's film, often with the sort of clue which one is nowadays regularly confronted with in TV commercials and in advertisements in the cinema. It is a pleasure to see and hear that the publicity designers were challenged - with their own mentality of making ad images with music ? on a highly artistic level. It is also a pleasure to see how the visual artists are true to themselves and their works, in many cases expressed in a technique they are not used to at all. Participating Artist's, Composer's and Publicity Designers: 1. Pierre Huyghe-Steamboat Switzerland - Tyler Whisnand 2. Pierre Bismuth - Theo Loevendie - Strawberry Frog 3. Marlene Dumas - Ryuichi Sakamoto - Erik Kessels/KesselsKramer 4. Aernout Mik - Gudni Franzson - Matthews & Peled/Wieden & Kennedy 5. Viktor & Rolf - Toek Numan - David Droga/Saatchi & Saatchi 6. John M Armleder - Hans van Manen - Fastland/Ground 7. Oliver Voss/Jung von Matt - Haukur Tòmasson - Yayoi Kusama 8. Pipilotti Rist - Caroline Berkenbosch - *S.C.P.F. 9.

Re: [Yello] FTP site, organizing

[ About the two areas that you mentioned, Michael, files found on [ Kazaa (or other file sharing systems) which are in average quality [ and then encoded to higher quality (OGG then), where should they [ be put? Nowhere :-) If you find files in average quality, please do not encode them again at a higher rate - this does not improve the quality. Once the file is created at average quality, you cannot regain higher quality without going back to the original. If we keep good notes on the source for the files, then people can choose between different quality levels for the same song, depending upon how much time they have for download. In other words, if you do have access to the original song, there's no need to delete the average quality version from the ftp server because some folks may not have the bandwidth to download the higher quality version. Of course, this must be handled within reason, because the disk space on the server won't be infinite. [ Files found on Kazaa are mostly at 128 kbps or higher, but there [ are always exeptions. The Resistor live (which I found on Kazaa) [ was at 128-256 kbps and many other rare tracks have very good [ sound. Yes. These encodings offer good sound. We'll take what we can get. Please don't try to improve the quality, though, unless you have the original CD or LP, or an uncompressed file. P.S. I've been looking into "shorten" which cuts the size of a full CD quality file in half without losing *any* quality. See etree.org for Windows, Mac, and Unix versions of the encoder and various players. Realistically, we may not have enough room for many of these, but it is worth considering. My search of the internet shows that this format is rated very highly. Brian Willoughby Sound Consulting

>How does that sound to everyone? Totally over the top? Well, it's how I >store my own collection! I think that order and information is a must for the FTP server. I'm a quite "tidy" (or whatever you mail call it) person myself, so I think that's important. About the two areas that you mentioned, Michael, files found on Kazaa (or other file sharing systems) which are in average quality and then encoded to higher quality (OGG then), where should they be put?
