Hello everyone! I like very much to create web pages (if some of you are interested, I have a Lord of the Rings page too - www.seste.net/warlock/middle.htm) and when I can spare some time, I do that. So my Yello page has been updated and improved a lot. If you pay it a visit, I'll be very glad. Feel free to write in my guestbook. I have a movie page there, but I'm not shure if I have included every movie, so if you want you can check out and tell me if there's something I'm missing (or if anything else is missing or incorrect), that would be great. The different CD ratings that you gave me (thanks again!) is also there under "The Complete CD List". The adress is: www.seste.net/warlock/yello/index.htm "The presensce of sounds, welcome you, to a new found freedom! The riencarnation of music becomes reality in the cosmos of technology! Let us praise the knowledge of rave! Let us praise our psyches, our psychotronic soundmachines and computers! You gotta say yes to another excess!" from the live version of Resistor. Chris

Female Yello lovers

<snip> Hello everyone! It's one thing that I wounder about. Ofcourse you do not need to answer = this, but are there any women on this mailinglist? I've always had in = mind that Yello isn't the kind of music women like (exept for The Rythm = Divine, Drive Driven and similar songs). </snip> Well, for my $0.02, I discovered Yello around 1990, and the first audio tape I bought by them was "80-85 New Mix in one Go". My sisters (ages 11 and 18) overheard me playing the tape, over and over. At the time, my sisters (ages 11 and 18) really enjoyed them. To this day, they still sing some of the songs outloud, although it's probably been over a decade since they've heard the tracks. I remember "Pinball Cha Cha" being a particularly popular hit with them too. :) Cheers, Rob

CD rating
by The Warlock 03 Sep '02

Hello all! I thought of rating the different Yello CDs at my Yello page (www.seste.net/warlock/yello.htm) But it's better to have many peoples' opinions, so I thought that you maybe wanted to rate the Yello CDs (from 1-10) too. If you could reply the message like this (this is my opinion): Solid Pleasure - 4 Claro Que Si - 5 You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess - ? Stella - 5 The New Mix In One Go - ? One Second - 6 Flag - 9 Baby - 10 Essential - 10 Zebra - 8 Hands On Yello - 8 Pocket Universe - 6 Excentrix Remixes - 6 Motion Picture - 9 And by the way, Motion Picture is just very good! I got the CD today. TheWarlock

What Yello is for me
by The Warlock 02 Sep '02

I shall answer your question, Adelka. I feel about Yello very much the same way as you do (at least I think so). I listen to Yello when I eat breakfast, I listen to them when I use the computer and in every other occations when music doesn't bother me, I listen to Yello. Although I do not think of Yello as a religion, but it is a world, yes! And each of their albums are some small worlds too. Today I suddenly felt how One Second is so special and good (I find it very difficult to describe). Yello surrounds me. I think I will always be a Yello fan. I suppose you have all heard the live version of Resistor that Julian posted a week ago? If Yello had concentrated on that type of music, they would have got much more fans. But Yello can't change to what people want them to be. I'm glad that Yello has the music they got and I love their music. I don't care if A LOT of other people like them (although I'm very glad I found this list, indeed!). Chris The jokes that some of you have are very funny! I'll try one myself: "Have you heard about the man who tried to shoot an arrow into the air, but missed?"

Why people does not know Yello
by The Warlock 01 Sep '02

Hello everyone! Well people have heard Yello, somewhere and they maybe thought it was good, but they didn't think "This band must I get more of!". . But people get/hear Yello by coincindences (or what I shall call it). Their music videos doesn't play on MTV any longer. And the main reason to that very few listen to Yello, is that you have to get used to their music! The first thing you hear with Yello is the wierdness, but when you have heard it a few times, you realize how great it is! A friend of mine has got Flag, Baby, Zebra and Essental and he likes Yello, a bit, but he likes only the one that you love the first time you hear it (like On The Run, Oh Yeah, Jungle Bill, The Race and Drive Driven). It was the same with me. The first song of Yello that I heard was when my father (he likes Yello) had got Essential and listened to The Race (The Race is very easy to like). I think that what Yello need to do with their music, is to include some of the newer techno elements in their songs, as well as they have their heavyness, superb mixing and great vocals. Motion Picture was too experimental. This is my opinion of why Yello isn't so popular. Yello is the best band that I know. I listen to Yello every day. Yello's songs goes in my head quite often.
