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.

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?
