Best one since "Flag". PU and this album have really good sounds. For some reason Zebra is most popular CD here. I know Zebra was blamed at the time but it is not that bad. My wife said the new album is a bit slack compared to Zebra when I played Zebra to get change from MP. All Yello albums have had been good but I always get ideas on what the next album should have differently! I just love those sweeping vocal morph (whatever) sounds on MP. Zebra has them at least in Move Dance Be Born, PU has them, and now MP. Boris mentioned Supernova and Nord Lead synths in the recent chat but I'm not sure if they do the thing. Anyone? By the way, I downloaded immediately manuals for both of them. Check www.novationusa.com and www.clavia.se. Even if you have some other modular synth or softsynth such as Csound, you could pick up a few thousand Nord Modular patches --- the file format seems to be plain ascii and it is documented. But anyone know how those vocal morphs actually works? Weblinks would be nice too.

I was reading a book called The Complete Cross-Referenced Guide to the Baby Buster Generation's Collective Unconscious that claims they are "A Dictionary of Cultural Literacy for Humans who grew up in the '80s" by Glenn Gaslin and Rick Porter. (A very long title for a book!) I thought they had something interesting to say about our favorite group, Yello. I quote: Yello Rare is the person who owns any album by this music group. Rarer still is the person who doesn't recognize the mechanized, guttural "Oh yeah" and "Chk, chka-chkk-aahh" from it's one known song, featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Secret of My Success, Twix commercials, and uncountable sporting events. See also Bueller, Ferris So I looked up the see also reference Quote: Bueller, Ferris A hero. See also Hughes, John They didn't even put a photo of Boris and Dieter next to the entry and do you really think of Yello's music and mechanized and guttural? I can see some of the music of Yello as mechanized or guttural but I got the impression that the authors didn't really give Yello a chance. IMHO. At least they got Ferris Bueller right. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Nov 1999 18:59:58 +0100 From: "Per-Stian Vatne" Subject: RE: (yello) I just read this... | Yello | Rare is the person who owns any album by this music group.

And I just stopped by a new documentary (or something) on the TV with tracks from "Baby" as music throughout the program. And... wow(!)... Yello's great album "Motion Picture" is this weeks fastest climbing in the official charts for Norway. Up from 39 to 21 since last week. Interesting to see more people are getting it.

Subject: (yello) OT: More Computer Stuff Well, I apologize if this topic bored some of you out there the first time it was mentioned, but that's what you have delete buttons for. ;-P Anyways, as I had talked about before, I had waged the war in my head about converting to Mac over PC (especially in regards to music making). Although I will keep my PC for now, it will definitely go in the closet once I get my hands on my new Mac system soon. But there's just one problem. :-0 I originally said that I would start saving up for a G4 tower, but now the new iMac DV systems have really caught my attention. The new iMac DV's have now inlcuded all of the features that I originally wanted in the first editions : 350 or 400 G3 Processors 100 Mhz System Bus 64 or 128 MB RAM 2 Fire Wire Ports 6, 10, 0R 13GB Ultra ATA Drives 8 MB Video RAM ATI Rage 128 Card (2x AGP) 4x DVD-ROM Harmon Kardon speakers iMovie video software Plus, I've always wanted to get into video editing. I've been thinking of building a site to house all of my rare Art Of Noise footage on, but I don't have a video capture device. So now the debate is, which one should I buy ? To paraphrase a statement made by Apple, they said that you would only need a G4 over an iMac if you needed a bigger monitor (??? Monitors are sold separately from the G4 towers), needed PCI expansion, or if you needed more than a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. Surely that'a a faulty statement. I like the iMac because it's truly plug-and-play, and everything is so compact and easily accessible (ever have to change an audio cable from the back of a large tower case ? It's quite a bitch when you have little room to move around !!!!). Plus, I love the flavors (hey, when will we see a Lemon model ?) :-) But I want the G4 for its brute-strength processing. Either way, both models will be faster than the newest Pentiums (according to Apple's tests LOL) . So what do you Mac Addicts think ? : New iMac, or new G4 ? BTW : I know that there are USB MIDI boxes available for the Mac, but are there any full-fledged USB audio cards/boxes out there ? I know that Roland and Edirol released their UA-100 Audio Canvas, but its interface software is specifically for PC. I really want to start doing 24-bit recording. Thanks again for putting up with my long-ass posts. ;-P NoiseWerker - "For God So Loved The World He ICQ # 42651237 Created The Roland TB-303" Bless You All. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 00:28:02 EST From: Paprboy698@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) OT: More Computer Stuff To give you insight on whether you'll be better off with a PC vs. a G4 will depend on how much you "work" system. I use both platforms and both operate differently depending on what you use them for. The PC will generally work fine, and has the most video/capture/edit software titles available, and may be the way to go if you have little money to invest. However, Windows is notoriously famous for freezing up on you, and you'll need to run NT on the PC if you expect to work non-stop without interruptions. The G4 is designed to be a clydesdale/quarterhorse combo-speed, and a bulletproof operating system. Apple is great (although not yet as cheap as PCs) for video, and IMHO, the quality is superior, and the processors are more efficient. It'll be a big decision for you especially if you intend to dump a lot of $$$ into your set up. My advice would be to talk to a few video pros in the industry who use each system to help you decide what's best for you. They'll know what works, and what doesn't.

They are completely dancable to my mind (and I've been quite a keen clubber in my time) and yet they don't get played. I believe this is because they have "too much" personality in their music, which leads DJs too consider them a commercial/pop act. If only their music was completely instrumental and nondescript eh?

They need to stop. I really do not like the new album very much. I own a lot of Yello, I was one of the very few that liked Pocket Universe and Zebra tremendously. I think these two albums are their strongest works followed closely by Baby. Now, let me sum up the good points about Motion Picture: The following tracks are okay (in my order, best to weakest): Point Blank, Get On, Squeeze Please, Houdini As for the rest... they are perhaps the weakest Yello tunes I've ever heard. I am not happy with this new album at all. In past experience, I was happy with every new album that came along immediately. Now, as a fairly die hard fan, I will continue to listen to this new album and hope I will "see the light" eventually, since I feel as if I *must* like it basically because it's Yello.

Sure you are! I'm also interested in Kraftwerk but I think we should respect the charter of the mailing list and not post non-Yello mails here. It is ok if we compare Yello and Kraftwerk or such (see the recent article series on what else music Yello fans listens to). But that Kraftwerk announce had nothing to do with Yello, period. I'm sure there are more glueless people like you who don't mind crossposting and charters, but you all can grow up to respect other readers! If my tone is rather unrespective, it is only because you're just looking at a mirror and see how unrespective mails were posted. I'm interested in Kraftwerk and I'm interested in audio software/hardware, but we should take them elsewhere. >On the other mailing lists I subscribe to people frequently discuss or >mention information regarding artists other than the one that's the direct >subject of the list and nobody tells them to "grow up".

But I love "Baby" all the same. Baby is incredible! Full, clean acoustic sound. That's why it ranks in my top three Yello albums. I would say that of the three I mentioned, they are my favourite in this order: Zebra, Pocket Universe, and Baby. But don't misunderstand, all three of these are nearly equal in my book and all get nearly equal playing time (with Zebra edging out slightly). Zebra has to be the best album ever, in my opinion. Night Train is simple fabulous! I really enjoyed Pocket Universe's experiemental/conceptual feel. It was really original, cutting edge stuff. It still is very, very unique even two and a half years later. But Motion Picture isn't really all that ground breaking. When I listen to Yello albums, each one progresses. Motion Picture is the first album that doesn't seem to really go anywhere. It's more of a rehash or "fresh look" at older concepts and older sounds. This is what disappointed me. I was expecting something "all new". While the songs themselves are new, the sound they provide isn't necessarily. Just my nine cents of commentary in this one dime world. - -- Robert > It seems to me you like more of the techno sound. I seems like you do not > like the more acoustic sound.
