Hi Julie I like the album very much although I'm suffering from too-much-play syndrome. There was a lot of discussion about on this list starting from about December. You might want to check out the archives at: http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello Any opinions here are subjective, but The Eye is right up in my top 5 favorite albums Yello has produced. There's a good mixture of music and sounds and has Boris' trademark touch for the unusual. Planet Dada is glaringly different from the rest of the tracks on the album and my favorite ones are: Tiger Dust Bougainville Distant Solution Star Breath Indigo Bay But all the tracks are great, really. The album is named, according to Dieter, after the fact that we all see images in the mind's eye conjured up by the sounds and the music. He's right. For instance, in Distant Solution, I have this weird image of an 8-year-old rowing across the Atlantic, pausing for a break as he listens to the song and remembers an episode of Fireball XL5 where Steve Zodiak was dancing with Venus. But that's just me ;-) I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Yello's work. This is right up there. There's also a Yello webforum that was spawned by one of the list members if you have lots of time on your hands and care to visit.

I once saw a show like 60 minutes or 20/20 with a segment about people who "feel" music, "see" music (in this case a blind person), "smell" music, and so forth. There was a name for this Syndrome, but I forgot. I too sometimes have images or even stories conjured up in my brain by music. For example - Respighi's (not sure how to spell) "Pines of Rome" sounds like Disney music to me. I tested this on my son who was about six at the time - he said "This sounds like Mickey Mouse!" Of course I knew it was pure brilliance he took after his mother. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Rory Filer Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 2:38 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

It's funny you should mention that some 'feel or see or smell' the music. Just last week, I was having a discussion with my wife regarding my inability to spell correctly, and the main difference that we found, was due to our early childhood. we were both read to a lot, however, she also did a lot more reading than I did. the consensis is that she can see the words when she writes them, whearas I 'HEAR' hear them, and write them as I think they sound. Interesting..... and Welcome Julie! There can never be enough Yello fans! Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here!

Never thought of that but it seems true. In order for me to tell someone how to spell something i have to write it down first. j On Sep 20, 2004, at 7:27 PM, Laurens van Graft wrote:

Yes, its an odd thing. English is my second language, I learned it at school. Teaching of foreign languages here in Finland is based more on written than spoken language, and therefore I think it's usually relatively easy for me to write words correctly, easier than pronouncing them. However, lately I've noticed that sometimes I make "phonetic" spelling errors familiar to native English speakers, like writing "there" instead of "their". Perhaps my brain is starting to simulate native speakers, at least I can't say that I remember any grammatics anymore. Finnish language is one of the two languages in the world which have totally phonetic writing (Korean is the other), and therefore we have no problems with spelling, words are written as they are pronounced, while English is in the other extreme, with no clear rules for pronounciation. Yello's music certainly is like that, it's difficult to point any distinct structures in it which make it interesting, like it's usually the case with everyday hit music. It must sound like a lot of noises which are not connected, but once you learn to listen to it in the right way, it makes sense, and there's no "grammatic" or "spelling" in it. julz wrote:

hmmmm. Fascinating. I "see" words (when I am spelling them). and I won a spelling bee in the fifth grade by spelling antidisestablishmentarianism. The funny thing is that word is phonetic! I don't recall if I read a lot - but I do recall coming home crying on the first day of first grade because they didn't teach me how to read. So for some reason I have just been born with an innate need to be able to read. SAY - maybe since I "see" words instead of "hear"ing them - maybe that would have something to do with my inability to sight read music, or to play by ear, or to be able to sing either?? I can study music and learn it, but I can't just play it off the bat. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Laurens van Graft Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 6:27 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

You have raised another interesting area of the psyche, You "SEE" words, but cannot sight-read music, or play by Ear. I HEar the words, but can sight read bit have an amazing EAR when it comes to music. Anyone need a topic for a DOCTORATE THESIS? Here it is!!

Hi! As for the thing that goes on here about "seeing" and "hearing" words... Get a book on Neuro Lingustic Programming and start to read about how there are different type of systems used by the brain to process data. Learning about these systems or even dive into the wonders that can be done with NLP, might give you cues on solving certain issues you have with reading, writing or other stuff. I used NLP to get my systems up and running again after they had been corrupted by the burn-out. I.E. increasing my concentration span to max again, or finding new ways to store and access information in my brain. Once you get to know how exactly your own brain appears to work, you can enhance it or even restructure certain skills that are messed up. Rene
Thanks for the valuable input RENE! I knew you would know something about this sort of thing! Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here! Abolish Daylight Savings Time; it's past its usefulness On Sep 22, 2004, at 2:39 PM, Rene wrote:
