Tomcraft "Race" mix.

The DJ Tomcraft mix of "The Race" is somewhat grating if you're listening to it solely in context of being a Yello fan. I agree that it does sound like he overdubbed the Yello track with his own synths. However if you listen to it in the context of Tomcraft's other mixes or tracks (Into the Light, Loneliness, Bang Bang), it's actually pretty faithful to Yello and in many respects a very good remix. I wonder if this was released with Planet Dada in order to help promote Yello to more modern DJs who may only know them for their big club hits. A lot of people on this list don't care for the remixes, but I feel that having such a variety of remixers take on Yello shows respect for the band, and some of their takes are fun and very interesting. I wish though that Tomcraft had released a second mix without all the additional synths. I like his use of them on his other mixes but it's distracting from the actual remix he did of The Race. my humble opinion. -Mike > >---- Original Message ---- >From: t013463(a)tip.nl >To: yello(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: RE: [Yello] Doubtful HTML Encoding >Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 22:01:12 +0200 > >>Hmmmm.... >> >>Once again we can witness how money >>is distributed to places where it shouldn't >>be going to. >> >>- >> >>First we have to suffer the concequences >>of the Yello Empire letting a mr.

New Work in Progress
by hotdog＠talk21.com 02 Sep '03

Hi all, Mark in the UK here, been a fan of Yello ever since I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off and realised there was more to music than crap 80's trivia. I wonder if any of you could give me some advice. I have a copy of the 1994 New Work in Progress CD. (500 signed copies released). The copy I have is a little special, in that it is number 0, and is the one that was sent to the President of Polygram International at the time. It has a doodle of a Zebra patch on it and is addressed to the president of Polygram by one of the band, as well as being signed by both. My query is.......anybody any idea of what this might be worth, and how would it be best to realise this value....it is doing me no good sitting on a shelf, and would probably look better in someone's collection...... .....any ideas? -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com
