Farida
by Jonas Warstad 23 May '03

23 May '03

Rob King asked: Maybe a certain someone named "Jonas" who is working on a book and has (hopefully) an upcoming interview with a certain someone named "Boris" can ask the man who Farida is, and where they met, etc? Jonas W replies: It's actually already in my book, I quote myself: "an Algerian model who was Jean-Paul Goude's girlfriend at the time". My comments: lucky guy (this will not be in the book though) PS Where are Marko's Yello discographies now? Can't find them. /Jonas

It was on the Jungle Bill single, if you can find it anywhere. The version on 'Essential' (this album was released soon after the Jungle Bill single) was an edited version of the 'Baby' version, not the video version. Hope that helps.

Mounted by the Gods
by Juhana Sadeharju 22 May '03

22 May '03

Hello. How those Mounted by the Gods loops should be syncronized? The loops are of different lengths and thus there are caps. Are they intentional? Do you find any problems in using the loops? Is the tempo 120? Can you show me a screenshot of an arranger showing how the loops fits together? (Boris, are you there? :-) -*- By the way, I found a problem in Motion Picture: at 5:02 from the start of the CD (on second track). An audiofile is available in the following ftp directory: ftp.funet.fi/pub/culture/music/western/Yello/ Best regards, Juhana

Do not quote the whole article or the whole digest when you reply!!!!

>From: "graeme" <graeme.fishwick(a)ntlworld.com> > >Well done Rene....love the cover....when is the 12" coming out? It is very >"catchy"...keep em coming Five lines your text, and 600+ lines of quoted text -- the entire digest!! That is 6 0 0 lines of text!!!! People, please edit the original article away if you really don't need it. It is really annoying to read the digests which contain the replies, the quoted article containing an earlier quote, and so on. Look how I have edited the quoted article down to minimum in the good old way. And, in most mailreaders you may choose not to include the previous mail at all if nothing else works. -*- OK, thanks people for your remixes and mixes. As I have said I have played with those Mounted by the Gods samples (which can be found from www.mountedbythegods.com at download page): I'm in believ that no time-scaling is needed to make the loops of the same length. If Boris really uses those samples (or original sequences) himself in making the mixes (and is not using slightly different sequences), then how the samples could be extended or kept in sync otherways? In drum_6 I repeated one drum hit like this: drum_6 + drum_6 + hit. I remember How How loops had similar discontinuity problems. Feel free to change the Subject line if you reply. Best regards, Juhana
