yello fan age survey - and other stuff
by Rob_King 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hi folks, I'm from Canada, and my age is almost 28 years old. Starting listening to Yello around 1992, along with the Art of Noise... First album was Flag, and the second (shortly after) was the 80-85 New Mix in One Go. Let's just say I was addicted to Yello music at that point. I remember when I was about 16 years old spending a whole day inside my room listening to every single Yello album that I owned. On a side note, I also have to mention that Yello releases are kinda expensive, and the latest few are a bit difficult to find. So, I ordered the Eye and Motion Picture from amazon.co.uk, and the prices were about the same as what I'd have paid for an import in Canada. I've listened to Motion Picture, and I find it a fantastic album, reminds me of why I liked Yello to begin with, as it has a lot of the same feel as older albums... From reading what others have posted, the Eye is a 'better' album than Motion Picture, so I cannot wait to hear it. (I purposely hold off from listening to the Eye until I have fully saturated myself with Motion Picture, which usually takes a month or so of repeated listening). Also on another unrelated note, I really enjoy the banter and activitiy on the list nowadays. I remember when I re-joined a couple years ago there was practically no communication for weeks on end. Also, nice to see more Yello webpages and Yello fan art showing up too, makes me feel great... Cheers, Rob

I see I'm not the only crossover Yello/AoN fan here. Peter Gunn was always my fav, and as much as I loathe Tom Jones, the Kiss remix was fun to dance to years ago. To Tasha: you might like the AoN DNB collection if you don't already have it. The seduction of Claude Debussy indeed. :) That crowd has their own list:aon-chat@lists.colorado.edu Corbett

Are the mp3's from Arno still available?
by Paprboy698＠aol.com 14 Jan '04

Yeah they still work for me anyway. I try to use something other than Real player because of that problem (didn't work well for me either). Quick time worked, and on PC windows media player worked but I had to grab the stream from the windows/temporary internet files folder to replay it later. Oh yeah, and I think we'd be hard pressed to find very many 20 somethings on this board (I'm 33) Shows our age don't it? :) Corbett

Yello from Oz

Yello all Late Happy New Year to you all. At 33 I still feel like I'm 15 also Julz; well maybe 25. Dieter has stated at various times that there is no reason they won't be making music when they are considered over the hill. Sounds good to me. Raphy- mate you may well take the proud title of the Young One amongst us. All the more time for you to collect :-) Paul J

New Yello Single?!
by Rory Filer 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

No one's mentioned this yet on the list today so I'll pass it along. Jonas posted an email on the Yahoo list a little while ago and says he heard from the Yello office that a new single will be released as part of a compilation by the Swiss cultural institute. The single will be called Litosphere - contributed by Boris. There is a link posted with it: http://www.gallerie-ph.ch/en/events/construct-sonor/ This tells some of the details of the Swiss project that Litosphere will be part of. Only 2000 copies of the 2-CD set will be produced >:-|
