On the subject of a good remix retaining the qualities of the original composition, the DePhazz remix strays a little from this concept. After a listen to it, I felt that if it hadn't been for the lyrics and the Dieter part of it (which doesn't even come into the remix until a good time after it starts), I wouldn't have recognized it as Squeeze Please. -----Original Message----- From: organism(a)hydrophilus.com To: yello(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: 04/07/03 7:16 PM Subject: Re: [Yello] All these Remixes?!

Although I feel that the disc which includes the De Phazz Radio Mix is readily available [am I wrong? If so, I have it readily postable], the De Phazz Mix is great! But there was no tag info at all. Where did you get this track from? Vinyl? All I can discover online is that is was pressed in 1999. --gcr

Subject: Re: [Yello] All these Remixes?! I hope the special edition Motion Picture will not end up on a bootleg :( jul [Rory] Not from me. I'll even buy the album if I can get my hands on a copy. I agree, it would be hard to preserve the original character of the music and still come up with something different. I guess that's what makes them professionals. So if Dephazz is a someONE and not a someTHING, then did he/they have Yello's blessing to make the remix or is *that* a bootleg of the original?

yello ftp for listmembers
by organism＠hydrophilus.com 04 Jul '03

Greetings all. There is now available a temporary FTP service for rare / difficult to find yello music. It is recognized that J.R. has been working for some time to provide a more robust solution, but due to his time and fiscal constraints we find ourselves waiting much. In an effort to alleviate horrible strain this wait has brought upon us all, I am making available this FTP server as a sort of "preview of coming attractions". This is not an attempt to jump J.T.'s train. Once he announces the availability of his server, this one will be disabled after the content is moved to his machine. User accounts will be granted through requests posted TO THE LIST ONLY. I will respond to you directly and off the list with your username and password. All usernames will be prepended with "yello-", allowing for a maximum number of remaining digits of 11 [total of 16 characters allowed]. So, in other words, please limit the length of your username to eleven digits. If you exceed eleven digits, I will simply crop. The "yello-" per-user prefix is a necessity to satisfy the working arrangement with the hosting provider. If you hate it, sorry. Note that *all* access to this server is logged. Quoted from README.FIRST, present in the home dir of the site: ============================= Post into ./upload Grab from ./download Post only rare / difficult to find material. Do not post full albums that can be easily found. Post only good quality files. Nothing less than 128 KB mp3 / q6 OGG. No .ra, .wma, or other such crap. Post no full wav or aiff unless specifically requested to do so. This account's capacity is capped. Quota will be grown by admin only if truly necessary. Server admin will cause offending uploads to be DUH-WEETED, repeat offenders will be blocked from accessing site. DO NOT post news of this account's existence outside of the xmission-yello mailing list. The moment Yello release a compendium or best of that makes available something that was not previously readily accessible, matching files will be removed from this server. Let's keep this a quiet, good thing. ============================= My abuse-o-meter has a very short sweep. I don't mean to be hard nosed, but this site is being provided out of a love for the music of the band in question. You are being asked and /required/ to respect the service that is being provided to you FOR FREE. A little abuse will go a long way to me simply shutting the service off. So, let's all play nice and enjoy some fantastic music! -gcr

All these Remixes?!
by Rory Filer 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Hi List Just so you know - my appreciation of Yello and music in general comes from the visceral reaction it produces in me, rather than any real understanding of the music biz. I downloaded the Special Edition of Motion Picture from the FTP server yesterday and my reaction was WOW! I'd only heard Squeeze Please and Houdini before, and didn't know what album they are from - remember I'm living in the musical gulag city - soon to be a Winter Sports Mecca, however - Vancouver. So after more than 20 years of listening to Yello, I'm still blown away by the quality and imagination of their music - and the beat. Anyhow, I wish to make the point of my ignorance of the music biz so that I can ask the question - why do all the remixes get produced? And are they always done by the band, or are they the work of someone who takes the theme and produces variations on it? If so, then they would have to have the blessing of the original artists or there would be major lawsuits, I think. The title of the remixes gives away their purpose - in some cases. For instance you often see "Dance Version" or equivalent in the name. Other times you see something that may mean something to some people, like De Phazz Radio Mix - but NOT to me. Who the ??W&^# is De Phazz :-)? Obviously the short answer to my question is twofold: The band can sell the same product more than once and make more money. And the band's budding imagination may make it impossible for them to stop trying variations on the theme which we all benefit from. But these are just my musings on the subject. Anyone out there have an opinion or some facts? Rory "I know you think I'm crazy, but I ask you all the same..."

Re:Bad Upload Missing Tag ID's-Whoops ;-(
by Paul Jones 03 Jul '03

HellO Sorry about the missing tag info. I had to do a quick fix from my work PC(Broadband-so as I could upload them) and in the haste I merely took copies from the originals and during my PC swap-due to different software limitations-the tag id has gone. I will most certainly fix this. I also like to have full extent of tag id showing where possible. I have been experimenting with different music programs that incorporate all file types , especially ogg. I have converted most of my YELLO stuff to ogg. It throws the files size out to buggery. Anyway-suggestions for the fix-should I re-upload the set as fully tagged ogg files-way big-or MP3 again-or submit some other wonderful fix? Thanks PaulO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
