Honestly, more than list doesn't interest me but should the sheer volume of postings warrant it, I will be supportive of it. Should some of the kiddies take a nap? I have probably 1/2 of the Yello knowledge of anyone else on this list. I subscribed to learn more about them and be "taught" the ins and outs of the Yello listening culture. Sheesh, I never even heard of the ReWatch just a couple of months ago, but if all that members do is argue, then I will be "taught" how to argue too.

Several large record labels (Island, Virgin, HMV, Atlantic, et al) have merged and have announced cutbacks on signed artists by as much as 75% and have forced some groups to buy back copies of their releases. What a shame as now I get to hear Hootie and the Blowfish and Celine Dion style performed by 75 different acts, and not the really relevant, progressive, and stylish beats by groups most of us never heard of. Don't know if I heard it here first, but has been confirmed by several on a few other lists.

If I understand correctly, this is quite significant - does this mean quantity in actual production is cut back? By 'forcing some groups' do you mean that if a party wishes a release to stay available, that it's in their own interests to buy copies while still in production? I knew the record industry was in a kind of recession, but this is quite drastic.

But on my copy of the Goldrush maxi-single, on side two, "She's Got a Gun (live at the Palladium N.Y.)" is listed at 4.20. Can anyone explain the discrepancy?

In terms of style, - - I liken it to the Prodigy, - but with more emphasis on 'sampling' - and more noticably it has the 'humour' which was present in Yello's more earlier music, with the samples not just 'tacked on' to the music. 'Rockerfella Skank' and 'Praise You' have already been released - (I've no idea how popular these tracks were in other countries), but it is the other tracks that utilize samples well, - and unlike the Prodigy and FSOL et al; - there aren't parts of the album where it can occasionally, - 'grind' making it unlistenable. - Each track has been worked on, and thought about. And, also, the two tracks mentioned above are so 'vastly' different - that the very diversity of the styles impresses the listener. This was what impressed me about Yello.
