John, maybe try killing your session and then have Rene see whether the 4 sessions all disappear. If not, then perhaps there's a bug in the FTP software that kind of leaves old sessions running even if they have been killed. This would be strange, since a broken TCP connection is supposed to be detected by the client/ server and get cleared down. -----Original Message----- From: John Szpara [mailto:fierodsl@pacbell.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 4:24 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

New Material
by Rory Filer 28 May '03

28 May '03

There *must* be others on this list who also are on the Yahoo Yello list. Just the other day someone mentioned it, bt for some reason the news on the Yahoo list never seems to make it onto this one, at least verbatim. So tell me if I'm out of line by sharing this with you, but this just arrived this morning from Jonas Warstad: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi all! I can now reveal the title of the forthcoming single: "Electric Look". Release date is summer/autumn (yes, this year!), a couple of weeks prior to the full length album ("THE EYE"). I will give you the track-listing for THE EYE as soon as it has been finally decided. By the way, I can not find Marko's Yello Site out there, if anyone knows where it is, if anywhere, please tell me. Thanks! Best wishes/Jonas W

Junk Mail
by Rene 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi all, Between Yesterday and right now, I've received over 230 e-mails. A lot of junk, but also all the good Yello stuf and my bussiness contacts. As soon as I've sorted it out, I will get to any comments and questions related to the topics. In the meanwhile I'm also uploading another small project of mine. A videoclip from EWA (ein weiteres album) where I'm the driving force, and connect to several other home/pro-musicians. This video and music however is done by me to the last bit. Except for some samples that I knicked from Yello (hidden amd layered) and And One. It's 11.5 mb and in DivX with MP3 format. the link: home.tiscali.nl/artist/movies/EWA_SEELENLOS2.avi If it is to big for you to download, I'm sorry. I can't get it any smaller without the loss of too much quality and thus to much of the fun looking/listening at/to it. Rene - Team Art-Ist - EWA - PRODUCT:00 - Future Development and what not.

Round up
by Rene 26 May '03

26 May '03

Hi, Let me get back to some issues: Sampling: I wouldn't call myself a pro on this, but in my job and private interests I've learned a great deal about it. Mostly because of lack of finance I had to depend on myself, a low budget, and the gear I already had. That's how I nearly use SoundForge for any sample job I have. How to clean a bass-sound that has remains of an Hihat or other parts you don't want in SoundForge: Load the sample and listen carefully to it. Inhale it into your brain :-) Then make a copy of it, and use the graphic equalizer to isolate what you don't want. This means cleaning it so you're left with the sound you want to eliminate. When you're done with that, select the waveform and mix it with your orignal Bass sample. Then check the invert radio-button and slide with the db slider until the original bass-sample sounds as clean as it can be. Repeat this step until you get the best possible result. Take in mind that the results are at best when you take the time and do it is -gently- as possible. So doing the steps in three or four sessions is better then attempting to do it in just one. It takes time but the results are more pleasing to the ear. next you should filter it with normalizers or a compressor/enhancer to soup it up and style/shape it for your song. And... Don't get lost in the idea that it is possible to eliminate everything you don't want from of a sample. In a composition with several sounds playing at once, most of the softened remains aren't that audible anymore. - I've gather some of my own yello samples. The zip file contains rough direct from yello cd's samples and some reworked ones. I don't have the time to sort them out. And i'm sorry to say that I don'thave the time to get other reworked samples from my samplers hardrives. Maybe some time. Next to the yello-samples I'll upload a set of my own sounds. - Sound tips: If you need a bassdrum no one else has, try slamming the fridge door, just like Boris did. If you need a fingersnap, record your own, layer it. Etc.. This makes a song unique I guess. Hardware: I use a second hand Yamaha 3000 sampler. And although the machine has some qwerks, it still does it's job well. Another thing I dow ith samples, is loading them into the Yamaha and tun it with the internal filters and envelopes. I middle it to a Center C, and record it back into the Sound Forge software. Result: Ripped Sample - Original Sound. - Layering: Layer your samples. Use two or three bass-samples with different envelopes to create your own sound. Boris does...don't you Boris? Yes you do. And with two or three samples shifted in the stereo spectrum while played at once gives a very full and dominant sound in your track. Yello Power!! The trick Boris does with Dieters voice for example... I tried to recreate it and used it in the Seelenlos song. Yep. - yello sample links: http://home.tiscali.nl/artist/samples/yello.zip My reworked samples: http://home.tiscali.nl/artist/samples/rene.zip - Rene

Croissant Bleu Official French Lyrics
by Julian 26 May '03

26 May '03

I know that other person trasnlating Croissant Bleu wrote down the lyrics by ear. Here is the text off the lyrics sheet I have. Is it any different then the prior one? Can you translate this text please. Croissant Bleu Quand j'ai vu vos yeux, la première fois, j ètais perdu... Jesuis venu à la Clôserie des Lilas très souvent On attends pour ces moments divines, pour toute la vie Quand je suis avec vous Je suis perdu, just un fou Quand je suis amoureux C'est la peur, just un peu C'ètait en octobre, il y a 2 ans Et c'ètait la troisième fois que je vous ai vu J'ai pas eule courage pour ces premiers mots impossibles Et même rèfleèchir sur ce problème pur commencer une conversation ètait unclichè Quand je suis avec vous Je suis perdu, just un fou Quand je suis amoureux C'est la peur, just un peu J'ètais bien placè au bar et camouflè derrière un livre très important. Avec un sourire dans le yeux, vous m'avez demandè "Quel est le titre de votre livre ?" Et j'ai rèpondu, après une pause assez artificielle: "Je Ne sais Pas!" Quand je suis avec vous Je suis perdu, just un fou Quand je suis amoureux C'est la peur, just un peu Quand je suis avec vous Je suis perdu, just un fou Quand je suis amoureux C'est la peur, just un peu Quand je suis avec vous Je suis perdu, just un fou Quand je suis amoureux C'est la peur, just un peu

Xmass Eve with Carlos
by Rene 25 May '03

25 May '03

A long long time ago when I was still young, I was working temporarely in germany. I always listened to Radio FFN. It was at this station where I listened to an interview with Carlos Peron. He told that while he was working in his studio, Dieter Meier came in, and told Peron that he felt like singing. Carlos, las mich am micro... ich muss jetz singen!! Carlos then made Dieter sing on a track that ended up on one of his CD's. And it has something to do with Xmass Eve. Where ever I go, I can't find CD's of Peron. So my question to get rid of another mind bothering item: Does any one know about this track and it's correct title? Rene

And there is more
by Rene 25 May '03

25 May '03

Dear people, There is yet another track available on the net that came out of EWA's kitchen containing some hidden Yello samples. Although I was born and raised in the Netherlands, I have develloped a taste for the German language. And that's why a lot of my songs are in German. Just like the one I've added right now at: http://home.tiscali.nl/artist/ewasongs/EWA-DasPferdeLied.mp3 But let me warn you. This track contains some explicit lyrics. So if you are in anyway offended by this, don't download it. But if you can listen to it and see the humor behind it then please do. This song has it's origin in a small video clip I received by mail. A girl and a horse... - Rene who came in contact with Yello while watching an episode of Derrick somewhere back in 1985.

RE: [Yello] Croissant Bleu Lyrics

Maybe, but it looked like maybe Dieter might have deliberately distorted some of his words to make the song sound better. I know in Switzerland and Belgium they say Nonant and Huitant for 90 and 80, where in France they say Quatre-vingt dix, etc. Olde Swisse also has a word "quelheuretli" meaning "watch", (Uhr, montre, relogio), because they used to see Napolean's troops looking at their watches in response to the question "Quel Heure est il?". I'm not on topic, but maybe these linguistic insights will shed some light on the culture that formed Dieter's way of thinking. Then again maybe I've had too much wine. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Willoughby [mailto:brianw@sounds.wa.com] Perhaps Dieter is using something that would sound right to someone living in Switzerland? Brian Begin forwarded message: Dieter didn't made a so good French speaking in the song. I haven't corrected the sentences to keep the original saying words. I'll try to translate lyrics in English now... GREG
