I just listened to this for the first time and found it to be a very fun mix. I think every single sound has been sampled from other songs - but it's put together in such a fun way. I'm glad I haven't given up yet on listening to every single mix... Now I am motivated to keep on.

But if it only contains one recogisable idea, is it still Yello, or is it someone else's track with a Yello sample in it? One dire example I can think of is To The Sea (TSWL Mix) that may as well be a completely different song. That's not to say that these 'remixes' are always bad - it all depends on whether the composer says anything new, or just turns the song into a carbon copy of the latest musical style.

<?fontfamily><?param Courier><?x-tad-bigger> A lot of the mixes are very similar to the originals; the choice of instrument, Dieter's voice, the arrangement, etc. Personally, I'd rate these ones lower than the ones which take the basic idea and run off in a different direction with it. It's easy to make a close-copy of the original and not so easy to come up with something interesting and fresh based on the original IMHO. I am happy if a remix track contains at least one recognizable element from the original song, but the rest is up to the composer. It's surprising how many of them kept Dieter's vocals as the recognizable element, almost not changing it at all. Some of the mixes sound like they are being done by newbies while others have a real professional quality to them. But hats off to everyone who went for it. - RF -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Tasha Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 4:19 PM To: 'The moon: beautiful.

I am starting to put my Yello Remix CD together based mostly on everybody's recommendations. I am immediately finding that when I go back a relisten to songs that my rating changes, both up and down. This is some hard work. But oh so rewarding. My personal rating notations consist of check marks, "ok", "eh", and X, and variations on those (two checks mean real good, two X means real bad). I wish we could see the judges' rating sheets for the contest.

Well I don't envy the job of the judges. Listening to some of the tracks again, they kind of grow on you.

Yes I agree. I bet they weren't expecting over 300 entries. Just shows you Yello might not be mainstream but they certainly have a following. ,Jonathan Rory wrote: Well I don't envy the job of the judges.

I wish that the START-AB website had a chat area in english, rather than just German, as it would be of great benefit for all the contributers to hear everyone's feedback. I emailed Manfred, the tech guy for their website, and suggested that they set up a streaming audio link to play all the entries. That way, we could all listen to them in the background, without having to download each entry to our players. I don't know if they are able to do so, but it is a good idea anyway. It sure is nice to hear feedback on the efforts of all involved, and I (as stated before), just wish I could have had more time to work on my entry, but my wife's report took precedence over my "playing" on the computer, and I only had a couple of hours to create my 'masterpiece'.

Tasha, 010045 Kostia Rapoport - Deep Inside The Soul Of Ice: I just can't tap my foot to. It's seems like a mess to me. I need a beat baby! 011197 Philipp Lange - Funk on Ice: is better but still not 5 stars to me but a strong 4 I'll still stand by these ratings. http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/SOIRemixesRating.html But I am thinking about bumping these 4 stars up to 5 stars http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/Possible5Stars.html Anybody else have favorites? It's very interesting to see what you guys like or don't like ,Jonathan ----Remember there are no winners or losers only "results".
