Album Artwork
by Jonathan Kamm 15 Jul '03

Hi, everyone I've created a site full of Yello album artwork if anyone is interested. If you have albums that you don't see on my site feel free to contribute them. Just flatten them out on a flatbed scanner and save them as a .jpeg minimum resolution 150dpi send that file to my e-mail. Keep the file size of each under 1MB please and I will color correct them, clean them up, crop them and post them on the site. The Yello songs in my current library are also there. Check it out let me know what you think. ,Jonathan http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/YelloSites/Menu22.html

[Yello] Re: [yello-news] Preliminary release date for new Yello album

>From: "Jonas Warstad" <jonwar(a)algonet.se> > >it is my pleasure to inform you that the new album is finished >(this is NOT an April Fool's joke!) and the planned release date >is 26th of June. I say planned, because this date is a preliminary date >and the final date will be decided upon in three weeks or so. >No title for the album has yet been decided, and the cover art work >has yet to be done. > >A single will be released a few weeks before the album (its title >has not been decided yet) along with a video (which also still >has to be done). > >I will send you more info as soon as I get it from Yello Office. Thank you for the good news. Lets hope it is either a standard CD or a DVD, not those explicitly broken non-standard CD formats which does not work in computer CD devices. I do not know if Yello can decide it, hope so, but be warned: as reported in Usenet, those non-standard CDs will install programs to your computer without asking your permission -- and after installation, as it is reported, you may not copy *any* CD to computer anymore. In my opinion that is all illegal. One can sell non-standard CDs yes, but intruding to customer's computer is a big no. Did all of you downloaded the loop samples from "http://www.mountedbythegods.com/"? They are most probably made by Boris but please verify yourself. Well, there are now three sample and loop collections available; other two are: -How How CD single -Yello Soundstation at www.yello.ch Has anyone the Mounted by the Gods soundtrack? Will the Yello/Boris songs in the movie be as well in the upcoming album? In any case those samples indicate that something wild could be coming. Best regards, Juhana

Re: [Yello] Me and yello go back a few years.

Hello Everyone, Yello and I go way back.. I was 20 years old, working as a DJ in a bar 1979/80 in Southern California, disco was all the rage... but there was a new progressive sound coming in (the beginning of New Wave), and I loved it. I remember slipping it in following their favorite songs, one in particular "Everybody, get on up and dance" by Bohannan I would mix into "Bostich". That's what started it all. "Heavy Whispers" is where i got hooked, I loved the deep, dark, smooth and creamy, sexy male vocals. I bought every Import as soon as it came out, I couldn't wait for the domestic versions. I had a lot of fun working in dance clubs when "I Love You", "Oh Yeah", and "Vicious Games" came out. The crowd couldn't get enough. Then I had even more fun working in Stand Up Leather Bars, where I could be more creative. I think "The Race" was about the most fun, it really got the whole place bouncing off the ceiling. I had a lot of fun with "GoldRush", "Tied Up", "Call it Love", and my other all time favorite "Lost Again". I think I played everything that was singled, and a lot of other great cuts off the albums that were not. I loved closing the bar with "The Rythm Divine", and "Of course I'm Lying" I love all types of music. I can say without a doubt that Yello is my fav orite group. Over the years Yello has brought me so much pleasure, it's almost hard to describe. It always seems like forever waiting for the next album. But It's always worth the wait. You are a great group, we all have Yello in common. I would love to be in on this FTP thing.... Sounds like I'm missing out on a lot of great stuff. I just can't figure it out.., yet. I did download WS_FTP LE Hopefully I'm more than half way there. Feel like I have to leave with a quote.. as everyone else does. "Has to be smooth baby smooth" And it always is. Take care, TruckerBill San Francisco, Ca.

HellO I have in the past found quite a bit of info on the net in regard to the video Space Cobra. There is even a site where some links to samples, and sites by the originator of the series with more info on the contribution from Yello. I'll have a search and post back what I find. It's definitely a worthy purchase if possible. I would like to think that sharing play list and list of entire collection will happen. I wonder if rather than bamboozle those that don't want them-can we perhaps upload them to the FTP-Is that OK grc? I unfortunately suffered a 120GB hard drive loss at work and thus lost my available music files to upload. I am working fortunately from my laptop but my backup collection of music is at home. So the Bathtub Swing track-which I listened to again last night-its cool ;-)-I will upload in a couple of days with 3 other rare items I have ready to share. Unless Rene- you have already done so. Oh BTW- your version of Sometimes-excellent. Hey Shaun-Good onya mate-maybe we'll catch up one day for a big Yello sesh. Last thing-For those of you that may not know Suite 909 is back up and running. I don't know why there are so many outdated links to this site. http://s909.dotdeek.dk/ PaulO

HellO Shit-I feel like an impostor. Hey Rene-Thanks for the compliment-BUT It's not mine. I would think it belongs to the owner of suite 909. I seem to be just looking out for his links. It is good nonetheless. I wonder if he is on the list and now feels completely ripped off. Hey sorry mate. It definitely wasn't my intention to take credit for your projects. I myself am also a Flash fan for years. I Love It. Any way-speaking of other peoples work-Rene I am now uploading you Bathtub Dub. I thought I uploaded Two Worlds and Something else the other days-but it seems to not be there. So I'll just make sure of what it is that I'm uploading and try again. I have been collating my Play lists. I have one for my digital collection and one for my actual collection. Thanks for your list grc - haven't got it yet, but I will now. Whilst I was doing my sorting-I was overlooking Jonas's lists as well as the list from The YELLO Collection pages. It is very depressing when what you thought was an amazing collection is somewhat small by comparison. Oh well. That article from our Mac buddy is very good-and just as I thought a big PC user---NOT--- ;-) PaulO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Itunes
by Jonathan Kamm 12 Jul '03

Hi, I don't think there is a better program then Apples iTunes for listening to, organizing, burning and sharing your music. Now iTunes 4 makes it possible to include the album artwork with each file. This is very cool! But don't worry PC users Apple is making iTunes available to you by the end of the year. When it comes to handling digital and media files Apple is the best! I'll let you talk amongst yourselves. Any Itunes users that need Yello Artwork contact me directly. Has to be smooth baby smooth..... ,Jonathan

Refreshing the Video Collection
by Rene 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Yell Yello and you've got my ears Tied to your Voice. My misstress will kill me for this, or just leave me, but today I went into the store and got myself a brand new video capture device. It's features are less than what the reseller told me, and I was to Tied Up in thinking excuses for my Domina, to have a closer look at it myself. But, with some software enginearing and a couple of thousand WIndows XP crashes, I managed to get the card going the way I intended it. And so I could do a serious test on the Yello Video's again. Coincidently I used Tied Up. For true. The final - net version - with DivX and 160kbps mp3 is about 30 megs in size and looks very clean. It has sharp borders and no interlacing artifacts. Plus, that it is in 384x288 which should give the opportunity to view it on a tv in full screen when you have a descent video on your graphics card (hercules 9700 Pro, for example, but that card is too overprised). I downloaded the Mpeg version from our binary heaven, and can say with utmost easy and pleasure that my version would be more the effort of downloading. And I'd like to add to this that I'm only putting the effort into this to get the best possible files into our Yello Collection. So who ever uploaded the Mpeg versions, don't be mad at me. At this point I'd like to state again the goal of our collection: If you have better versions of files, then upload! After a while it should be possible to eliminate files that are balancing on the edge of reasonable or bad. And so I could also get comments on my choise of 160kbps for the Tied Up clip... well... yes... I could use a higher rate, and will test this, but I believe that the files should also be managable. - Rene
