Hello all! I thought of rating the different Yello CDs at my Yello page = (www.seste.net/warlock/yello.htm). But it's better to have many peoples' = opinions, so I thought that you maybe wanted to rate the Yello CDs (from = 1-10) too. If you could reply the message like this (this is my = opinion):
Solid Pleasure - 4 Claro Que Si - 5 You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess - ? Stella - 5 The New Mix In One Go - ? One Second - 6 Flag - 9 Baby - 10 Essential - 10 Zebra - 8 Hands On Yello - 8 Pocket Universe - 6 Excentrix Remixes - 6 Motion Picture - 9
And by the way, Motion Picture is just very good! I got the CD today.

Pursuant to Warlock's query about rating Yello albums, can anyone tell me what people have against Pocket Universe? Of the newer albums, it's almost always the least liked.
I think it's absolutely brilliant! When I really want to rattle the windows or annoy my neighbors at work, I crank up Resistor to 11! I could live without To The Sea, at least with the pixie vocals, but otherwise, IMHO, it's one of their best. ------------------------------ Reality is a matter of opinion

Here are my ratings (quite different):
Solid Pleasure - 8 Claro Que Si - 8 You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess - 7 Stella - 9 The New Mix In One Go - 8 One Second - 10 Flag - 8 Baby - 7 Essential - 7 Zebra - 6 Hands On Yello - 10 (I'm a sucker for a good remix) Pocket Universe - 9 Excentrix Remixes - 6 (I said a GOOD remix) Motion Picture - 7
These rankings would be for overall greatness. If I was just comparing them to other Yello albums, my scores would again be very different.
If I had to guess, I'd say you picked up on Yello around 87-88, Warlock. Would I be right? ------------------------------ Reality is a matter of opinion

The mix on the cd of TTS on PU is a little weak. I first saw the video on MTV's "Amp" and was floored. But the mix of the song with the video <one of their absolute best vids in my opinion> are faultless. I would love to have a DVD collection of their videos - I've only ever seen part of "On Track", that's all "Amp" ever showed here in the USA, about 1 and 1/2 minutes of it, and I liked it!!! And to see "Squeeze Please" on a large screen - I really like the video that you can watch from the official site, but it's only 2 inches high and blurry to boot. That video deserves better presentation. - John in Arlington, Va.

Same here, Pocket Universe is one of my favourites among the albums, if I was to be honest you really have to view it more as a 'Modern Opera', in that you really only ever should listen to the whole thing in one go instead of jumping from track to track. I have always viewed Yello as 'story telling' and Pocket Universe is one big story, it all fits together so perfectly.
