Since you brought it up, I got impatient several years ago just sitting around and waitng for the next Yello release, so I started collecting Billy Mackenzie's albums. Unfortunately, this was only a few months after his untimely demise, but I really enjoyed his work all the same (I still do). Thanks to his collaborative work with Paul Haig on "Memory Palace", I'm now also a big fan of Haig's. Haig was out of the music scene for a while (at least I think he was. As far as I know, he didn't do much from 1998 to 2006 or so), but he's come out with two really fantastic CDs in the last couple years, "Electronik Audience" and "Go Out Tonight" and he's got a third CD slated for release sometime around the end of this year. If anyone wants to branch out and discover some truly wonderful music, I suggest picking up Haig's latest CDs and Billy Mackenzie's "Outernational" to start with. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Fruh To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:11:44 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [Yello] Yello Tree branch? Guys and girls, If we end up in the position of never seeing another Yello CD, I wonder if there'd be some value in branching out to other artists. Unfortunately, I personally have never heard anything else like Yello. That said, my music interests go beyond Yello, and I wonder if its possible that many on this list might also enjoy other music as well, and if we'd benefit from sharing what that music is. There are a number of ways we could do this, we could post groups/bands we like that we feel are in some way related to Yello. Another way might be to share Pandora stations that have played music we like. (Pandora.com runs a music service (free) - you enter any group, album or artist, and pandora will attempt to play music similar to that - I have found a good 10-15 CD's I really enjoy, that I had never heard of before Pandora) What do you think? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4257 (20090718) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
