Matrix II
by Tasha 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

I have been watching the second Matrix for the nth time, thinking how the soundtrack is just not quite as "there" as the first Matrix. Then I just had this epiphany - I bet Boris could have created a sound track deserving of this! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scared to buy The Eye
by Jonathan Kamm 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi, I believe this to be an urban legend. I have all my music on my computer downloaded from new CD's and have never experienced not being able to transfer them. The promo copy of The Eye transfered fine and I would not worry about the new copy. Has anyone actually experienced this? If so were you on Windows or Mac? How old was your computer. Please give us details. Jonas Warstad has informed us that The Eye will first ship as the Limited Edition Digipac then when supplies run out will be shipped in a regular jewel case. So everyone buy your copies early. It starts shipping in just 3 days. Later, Jonathan

Scared to buy The Eye
by Juhana Sadeharju 31 Oct '03

Hello. Can anyone check the "does not work in CD-ROM device" status of The Eye as soon as possible? First I were not worried about it too much. I had decided to buy the CD and ask somebody to make an mp3 copy if it does not work in my CD devices. But that would be silly! I'm worried about my customer rights that much that I would like to have an mp3 or other working copy in advance, before I buy the CD, so that I may then go and buy the CD and not worry at all if it really works or not. Therefore, could somebody please make me an mp3 or other copy of The Eye before I take a risk of buying the CD? If yes, please mail me. Or if you prefer stay anonymous: upload to ftp://ftp.funet.fi/incoming/audio/ (mp3 with 256 or 320 kbps, if analog recording, set level so that the signal does not saturate: -6 dB level is ok). -*- The sad thing is that all Yello, Datasound, and recording company knows very well the problems. They know that customers are taking a great risk in buying the CDs. They have damaged CDs purposedly so that CD devices will and may fail, and they are selling these CDs. The risk I take is too high by my standards. At worst I would have to spend $$$ to a CD/DVD player or to a MS Windows computer system. Even at best I take a risk of loosing $25 and not being able to listen to The Eye at all. Regards, Juhana

Say No to The Eye mp3s!

The production values on most albums today is so shitty that the average ear cannot tell the difference between the CD recording and even a 128kbps mp3. However, I think Yello, being the studio extremists that they are, end up with a CD that is has far superior sound reproduction, as compared to everything else. I, too, freely download mp3s. But I buy the albums of the bands I really like, and the bands I really want to give my money to. Davy

Do you fully intend to buy the new Yello album "The Eye", but find that you can't wait? It has been leaked to the net. No links though (*Cough* think of what the death of a large star is called). Naturally you will be buying the album, wont you?

RE: [Yello] I Met Dieter and Boris
by Rory Filer 31 Oct '03

Actually I had a dream that I had visited Dieter's house in Zurich about 2 months ago. I'm not as adventurous as Rene so I didn't put it to the list. But someone recently described the house in response to my "Where DO they live" query and the description was similar to my dream. I didn't actually meet Dieter in the dream because the staff was preparing for some kind of party which I had stumbled into off the street. There were dozens of servants everywhere on the grounds setting up tables and carrying silver trays. Not to mention the wing'ed goats. - RF -----Original Message----- From: Shaun Turner [mailto:sajt@tvsched.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 1:58 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

Subject: Re: [Yello] I Met Dieter and Boris very strange. if you have one I'd be mentioning that to your psychiatrist next appointment. perhaps it's time to go without yello for a while. There's no doubt that all on the list like yello, but I suspect you would have to be one of the first to dream about them.
