Yello Live
by Flinstone Fred 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hi, I was wondering if anybody here could tell me if they ever saw Yello live in concert and how it was. And also, is there any existing live material (video) of Yello (eg. Live at the Roxy)? Thanks for the info, Philip __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

Clarify....

Someone mentioned that THE EYE was offered for sale in Germany. As far as I know, this CD-R, apart from being totally illegal, consists of short samples (20-30 seconds) that are looped together to form a longer track, so what you will hear is a 20 second loop for 3 to 4 minutes or more, and they call this a "track". All I can say is, don't buy that crap, the REAL album will be avalable soon enough, in better sound quality too. No more words Jonas W

The Eye (track listing)
by Jonathan Kamm 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

Got this off a german website guys. Looks like a lot of new tracks. THE EYE Track by track by Dieter Meier Electric Look: Rames II, the pharaoh who left our galaxies two milleniums BC, is reincarnated in Philadelphia as DJ Ram and lectures about the subject of his long way back. Nervous: Many reasons to get nervous, but Joe LaPlaca here feels he is about to fall in love. With no defense left, to the surprise of his assistant, the otherwise smooth operator admits the calamity. Don Turbulento: Don Turbulento, after a serious dive into a chill-out session in Rio de Janeiro, follows the sound of a distant beat into the jungle and has not been seen since. Soul on Ice: Heat in the city, cold as ice, the streets are shining, reflecting her eyes, the second I see her come through the door, I'm loosing my mind, I'm existing no more. Junior B: Butch, the queen of crooning, meets Trans-Reggae and melts away in Rick's CafÃ©, overlooking sugar bamboo bay. Tiger Dust: Who, when and what? The son of Buddha couldn't care less and wants to hear the question one more time. Distant Solution: Soft, too soft, a suburban macho tries to sing his way into the heart of Mercedes, who smiles and drives him over the hill. Hipster's Delay: The trumpet kid keeps it cool, and dances away on the ocean of sticks and bubbles. Time Palace: Who is singing between my mind and the moon? Indigo Bay: On a steamer in space, King Voodoo zooms into the next dimension. Unreal: In a labyrinth of crystals, love shines bright and the lonely monkey peels his third banana. Bougainville: Traveling in circles, the lights of the unknown city are near and far. Star Breath: A streetcar made of glass roars uphill and fades away into a treadmill where drumming monks try to make themselves invisible. Electric Look (Planet Dada): The planet Dada is plugged in straight to the brain of a man who can only think music, and in this piece he gets lost on his own road map.

P2P and the new album
by Shaun Turner 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

For the information of everyone there's some material on kazza that sounds an awful lot like yello branded as comming from "the eye". Not sure wether it's someone cluy doing a mix, or the real deal. Personaly i'b be surprised if it's the latter, but one never knows. I dont think a tracklist has been posted anywhere, so Jonas W. if your on the list reading this here's some of the song titles mentioned. Perhaps you can clarify whats going on.

RE: [Yello] P2P and the new album
by Rory Filer 21 Aug '03

It's interesting that the album is available on Kazaa before it's released. Either it's true that the record companies have put these songs out as decoys, or someone very close to the vault has grabbed the songs and distributed them. I hope it's the former and not some exec with a chip on his shoulder. As for these being decoys, I find that a little hard to believe. There's too much material posted and it sounds very good for a Kazaa download. The email earlier this week with a URL to a german site was more what I would expect for a sample. There was only a 60 second taste of The Eye - THAT's what I would call a sample. Not a complete selection of all the tracks. Plus, if the name has changed from Electric Look to The Eye, and these tracks have the old name, then whoever posted them must have had early access to them. I think this might be the real album... Not that I'm into conspiracy theories, mind you ;-o -----Original Message----- From: Shaun Turner To: Yello Mailing List xmission Sent: 21/08/03 4:16 AM Subject: [Yello] P2P and the new album For the information of everyone there's some material on kazza that sounds an awful lot like yello branded as comming from "the eye".

Subject: Re: [Yello] P2P and the new album <quote> Hi Shaund and everyone else, I've seen all these songs in addition to some others (14 to be exact), on Kazaa (thanks to Graeme). I've downloaded some of them, but they are only exerpts being repeated over and over again...I think that samples of all the songs have been available somewhere (and still is??) and then someone has put them together and made them available on Kazaa... <quote> This is normal. A part of the anti piracy movement that record industries employ is they release tracks like these before the actual album is released. These "fake" tracks spread through p2p, making it harder to find the real thing when it is released. The only use of these files to: - get a semi-accurate track listing - have a "sneak peek" at the tracks, enough to wet the appetite. The most important thing to remember is that what you are downloading from Kazaa is NOT the album.

Jonathon Kamm! Damm!

Mate You have an unreal website. It's awesome. I can also contribute to your album art. It seems the one you are wanting you already have images for, so I'm confused-are you looking for high quality images etc? No worries either way. You may have seen my post asking for an image of the yellow cover of 'Claro Qu Si'. Do you know the cover I'm, referring to...Jonathon? Rene? Chris I know you do....anybody else...anybody.... Bueller.... Bueller.... There's a copy of 'The Eye' available for sale-I thought it wasn't released yet? I'm going to try and buy it though. It's in Germany. I'll post the link after I've bought a copy just in case it's not legit. PaulO

RE: [Yello] New single

The clip has kind of a Motion Picture quality to it, to be sure. Unmistakeably Yello, too. I was surprised to see that Dieter was credited with making Yello's videos. I downloaded a lot of them from the FTP server when it was running. I wasn't paying too careful attention, but I got the impression that someone else had made the vids. - RF -----Original Message----- From: Shaun Turner [mailto:sajt@tvsched.com] Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 8:39 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

Subject: RE: [Yello] New single it does sound good. it sort-of 'feels' like squeeze please, although a 60 sec snip out of a 6-7 minute song is rarely going to glean much. I hope they dont leave it to long for the single. It's been to long since the last album, and i'm keen to get to listen to the new material. shaun -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of MightyMeyer(a)t-online.de Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 5:17 PM To: yello(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Yello] New single Hi there, i send it a few days before, but i can´t see it in the mailing list.
