House Music
by Andy Jackson 23 Oct '03

23 Oct '03

> Nope. It did not start in clubs - even though that's where it is now. House music *did* start in the clubs, although the artists who kicked off the movement (Jamie Principle, Frankie Knuckles, Todd Terry, Marshall Jefferson, Larry Heard) obviously made music in the studios initially. However, without the clubs in Chicago, New York and Detroit there wouldn't have been 'House music'. > The > > "House" in House Music refers to the house parties. The name 'House' comes from the Warehouse 'disco' (as they were called then) in Chicago, I think...Frankie Knuckles was the DJ (owner?) at the time. For a brief intro have a look at the essay on All Music Guide at http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=MISS7031022033 5&sql=J310 Andy Jackson : a n d y * j a c k s o n : : l i b r a r i a n : : s c h o o l * o f * n u r s i n g * a n d * m i d w i f e r y : : u n i v e r s i t y * o f * d u n d e e : : d u n d e e * d d 1 * 9 s y : : t e l *0 1 3 8 2 * 6 3 2 0 1 2:

anarchist?
by Rob_King 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

In reading the www.20min.ch <http://www.20min.ch> interview, I found it interesting that Boris revealed he is an anarchist, which was the first time I had ever heard of this. It didn't really surprise me a whole lot, in light of his whole composition process, and his attitude to creating things as an artist. There's several other bands in the world who are also supportists of the Anarchist movement - the first group that jumps to mind is Chumbawumba... Sure, they were a 'one hit wonder' here in North America, but the single "Tubthumping" was not a lot like their prior work at all and is not indicative of the type of music they produce. Chumbawumba have also said in interviews that they have been anarchists for many years. In fact, I remember taking a look at their webpage and there's a LOT of data there on anarchy, their attitudes, political ideology, etc. Does anyone else know of any other anarchists in pop music? Cheers, Rob

Before I knew what babelfish was (1 minute ago) I was going to say that this translation looks like it was done by a machine. To the reading of it has a funny effect on the eye how sees it.

At the beginning of November appears the Yello album "The Eye". 20 minutes week with Dieter Meier (58) and Boris blank (50) conversed about their work. Interview -- Ralph Hennecke - photo -- Dina Haas Dieter and Boris, why have you your new album just "The Eye" mentioned? Blank: Because the listener to our sound the eyes to close can appear and in addition pictures before its internal eye. Meier: I came on the title, because I could imagine with each Song a figure. Thus also most texts developed to our new album. How do you co-operate? Dieter nevertheless mostly lives abroad. Blank: I am each morning at 9 o'clock in the studio and go in the evening always swimming. If Dieter visits me, we sing the texts of the Songs in. That lasts per Song until maximally two days. Meier: The philosopher Kant lived 40 years to the same place and followed an absolutely arranged routine of the day. It lived into and for its large philosophical work. Boris of the Immanuel Kant of the synthetic music is so seen. Do politics in your music play a role? Blank: There were times certain religious texts, but politics do not play a role for us in the music. Meier: Good music is actually political, because it aufstoebert humans at a place, where it learns something over itself and itself emanzipiert. Each good work of art embodies humanity, identity and is many more political in this sense than the political art in such a way specified. Blank: To which party would you assign our music? Meier: You did not listen unfortunately. Blank: Is correct. But where you attach the statement of our music? Meier: I believe for example that our music would have been forbidden during the Faschimus. Good art is anarchy. Anarchy in the sense that the Individium stands in the foreground and not a superordinate state idea. How is it shown with Yello? Meier: Our music results not from an academic composition building, but from Boris, which is strictly speaking a Anarchist. It opposes the obligations of the Rock'n'Roll, which completely Europe as culture imperialism over-drive has. Then are successfully you as Anarchisten for 25 years. You never of stopping thought? Blank: No. No second. I can out-rave myself in my occupation like a child in the sand box. If I enter the studio, is like daily Meditation for me. My fascination for the sound research is unbroken. Meier: If one wants to be successful, one must be at the pulse of the time. My 90-jaehriger father is Banker and it pursued from fascination and success hunger still daily the share quotations. Do you remain thus also optically faithful you? Or differently in demand: When does your Schnaeuze fall? Meier: As soon as Boris stops, its to color (laughs). No, this Schnauz belongs simply to my face. He will remain - although my daughters say to me again and again, I is him off to cut. Blank: (grinst) Dieter not of its Toupée separates so long, keeps I means Schnauz in any case. Info. Yello "The Eye" (universal), starting from 3 November. _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello

Q: Best Yello for house fans
by Brian Willoughby 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Hello everyone, I love all of Yello's music, and I don't really think that it fits into any single category. When I listen to their albums, I tend not to think of styles (or even song titles). However: If you had a friend who is a big fan of house music (and music in general, of course), what would be the best Yello album to be their introduction to Yello? At the moment, my hunch is that Zebra might be the best starting point. But some of my favorite songs are on Flag and One Second. Baby seems to be my favorite "album." Pocket Universe gets a little too weird at times. Now that I think about it, Motion Picture might be another contender for a good album for house fans. What do you folks think? Obviously, after hearing the first Yello album, a new fan is probably going to want to hear everything - but that takes hours and hours! I just want to pick a good first CD. Later, Brian

... I sent an empty message. Oops. What I meant to say was I'll have to get out there and hear some House Music so I can compare it to Yello and see how the answers to Brian's original question match up. I would have suggested "The New Mix In One Go" or "Essential" for their good cross-section of earlier Yello material. Now I can't because I'm uneducated >;) -----Original Message----- From: Rory Filer [mailto:rfiler@SierraWireless.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 9:39 AM To: 'The moon: beautiful.

Amnesty Picture Disc
by Raphael Ackermann 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Hi, I was lucky to find this 7inch picture disc at the Music Fair in Glasgow 19. October 2003. The Dealer told me it is the one and only Test Pressing of this single. The single itself was probably pressed in a ltd edition of about 10. At least that's as much as I found out about other Amnesty Picture Discs. Pictures can be found here http://n.ethz.ch/student/acraphae/download/ Has anybody seen this picture disc before? How can I know if it is a test pressing or the regular pressing? thanks for your answer. Jonathan: you can take the jpg for you website. Raphael
