From Jonas Wårstad, Hello everyone, finally some good news! Yello fan Thomas Muegeli told me that the Swiss daily "punkt" paper (www.punkt.ch) published a report on Yello in their 23rd Oct issue (page 16). Here is a direct link: http://redaktion.punkt.ch/fileadmin/userdata/ePaper/2008/2008_10/punkt.ch_ZH... Thomas kindly translated the important parts (slightly edited/ corrected by me): - new album with working title "Touch" will be released in February 2009 - Boris says it's going to sound like Yello but much more mature - additional musicians are Till Broenner on trumpet and swiss singer Heidy Happy - one song would have been the perfect song for the new Bond movie and the director (with Swiss roots as well) was interested, but when Yello finally submitted the song, the movie had already been finished! My comments: 1. Finally it is coming out!! 2. What a great pity the world could not hear YELLO in the new Bond film!! If anyone hears or sees any other (confirmed) news, please let me know and I will forward it to the list. Thanks! Best to all, J
There was a posting on the forum: http://yelloforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=2930#2930 by a user named Yellow that points to an interview with Boris Blank on a Swiss radio channel DRS3. Link to the DRS3 Boris visit with pictures page: http://www.drs3.ch/www/de/drs3/96553.boris-blank-von-yello-live-bei-drs3.htm... Direct stream of the interview rtsp://audio.drs.ch/drs3/dossier/blanc.mp3
I have listened to the interview. As a native Bavarian I understand about 90% of the Swiss German language spoken here. Some findings here: I used Winamp to listen to the link. I had set the Winamp display to count down the time to 0. It displays a total time of 19:15 in the beginning, but continues after 0:00 for some more minutes. I was not able to fast forward or backward. When I tried it always started from the beginning. rtsp://audio.drs.ch/drs3/dossier/blanc.mp3 They talk quite long about the history of Yello, about what Boris has done for this Swiss radio station, about The Race and how it got created. Boris had created several jingles for the radio station. You then hear some oh yeah based jingles . Boris says, he got inspired by the Hazy Osterwald Sextett, a famous Swiss Jazz combo in the 60s and 70s and their song "Kriminal Tango", where a rhythmic spoken pattern is used. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazy_Osterwald The Race was initially created as a Jingle for the German TV show "Formel Eins", then got enhanced several times and finally released as a track. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formel_Eins Now the interesting part: Boris confirms, that the new Album is finished. "We are in negotiation with the marketing dept.of Universal in Berlin". The new album will be released "early 2009", "spring 2009", "February, March 2009". There will be a guest singer Heidi Happy on the new album - see http://www.heidihappy.ch/ Finally at the end there is an excerpt from one track "You better hide". And sorry, there is no word about a new single in the interview. They talk about singles in general and also about jingles, but not about a new single. So listen to the interview and enjoy the preview on the new album after about 20 minutes.... Have fun Franz 2008/10/25 Julian <julzmon@mac.com>
