A huge percentage of Carlos Peron's library of work has been re- released and remastered on Peron Digital. I found all the great Yello related Peron tracks in superb digital sound . Kong Fu Pogo - with Dieter vocals! Happy New Year - with Dieter vocals! Shooting The Dark - Boris and Carlos calaboration! Plus new Carlos releases : You gotta say yes to antother excess (Schränz mix) - My favorite. Lots of original lyrics and samples! Great track! You gotta say yes to antother excess (Old school mix) - same version that appears on Talks To The Nations album. You gotta say yes to antother excess (Sir Henry Mix) - techno version! You gotta say yes to antother excess (Guitar hero mix) - Rock guitar version! Carried to excess - uses the line "You will find excess in the jungle!" - another favorite track! Barfly - Lots of Yello lyrics and samples! I found everything on US iTunes except Happy New Year. But emusic has it. Here is a link to the Carlos You Gotta Say Yes ... mixes on emusic. http://www.emusic.com/album/Carlos-Perón-Impersonator-III-MP3-Download/11345099.html Don't forget the Tranceonic rare tracks 1976-79 Peron Digital Album. Its all tracks Boris and Carlos worked on before Yello. My favorite Yello related album purchase this year! Great early Yello tracks! Love this album!
So I buy this CD, Impersonator I. As I do with all my CDs, I started reading the insert. And I quote: "CARLOS PERON was the founder of globally renowned cult act YELLO, initiator of the world's first ever video clip, 'The Evening's Young' from the group's second album "Claro Que Si". Following the fifth YELLO album "You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess", which was released as the world's first ever Compact Disc in 1983, CARLOS left the group to embark on an ambitious solo career. Many music critics agree that YELLO lost their raw edge with the departure of PERON." WTF?!?!!! Is he related to Al Gore?????! oh yeah, [pun intended], this also answers the question to a previous discussion regarding whether or not Yello is a cult band. ;-p
Wow, that was even heavier than Kraftwerk's revisionism! Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor http://www.PlanetOrigo.com Sci-fi & fantasy DVD shop & magazine Free global shipping, bonuses and exclusives!
The liner notes for 'Talks to the Nations' (2008 CD) are almost as bad. It has a biography (not quite as wacky as the Impersonator one), according to the notes it was sourced from Wikipedia - and this reminds me of a discussion on the list a few years ago. Carlos had wanted a biography up on Wikipedia, and asked via someone on the list if a biography could be put up. This evidently happened, as a biography appeared, and it was identical to some biographies on other web sites. The article has been severely edited since, but getting back to the CD, it seems weird to quote Wikipedia as the source, when it is actually source: "Carlos Peron's Self-Promotional Puff Piece pasted onto Wikipedia on his request just so I can say 'source: Wikipedia'"!
