While the songs themselves >are new, the sound > they provide isn't necessarily. Good point but... Yello has always recyled their sounds. I hear sounds and musical phrases in Pocet U that date back to Claro Que Si. This album is new to me. It's much jazzier and housier than ever before. Night train is one of my very favorites too. Well just my thoughts are Yello always sounds like Yello. No matter what. I always hear sounds though out the entire album spetrum that are borrowed from each other. :) Julian # 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: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 13:37:23 +0100 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?VIALLE_Gr=E9gory?= Subject: (yello) Croissant Bleu It's some bad english to french translation sentences but the words of th= e song are exactly those one : Quand j'ai vu vos yeux, la premi=E8re fois, j'=E9tais perdu...

I love it!! And for pointing me in the right direction for ordering Motion Picture. I know.....it's very similar to other Yello stuff...but hey!! it's still a great sound! Hoping to get it within a week. Comments will follow soon after. Move..... Dance..... Be born!

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 wasn't aware we had a 'charter' here. And I'm sorry to hear that some people on this list are so focused that they can't bear to see anything besmirching the purity of the Yello content on this list. Crossposting of junk is a pain, true, but we need to get things in perspective here...we're talking about Kraftwerk, here. This news should be on the main national news broadxast, never mind the Yello list. I've grown tired of the authoritarian introspectivity of this list over the last year, and I only stay tuned for news of the band. I doubt whether Yello live in their own little world where people aren't allowed to talk about anything other than the one subject which brought them together - Yello music. They'd probably be pretty disparaging of such a rule/charter-dominated fan list. They are artists...they experiment and draw influences from around them. They have their ears and eyes open to what's going on in the world. That's how they make such great music. It's a pity this list is dominated by such a parochial attitude. > And? The point!? "Make noise until it really starts disturbing readers." > That is why I say "grow up". It's only you who seem to have been disturbed, Juhana...or do you speak for others who didn't dare post a response here? > I guess I have the right to express my opinion about spams. I would not > like to unsubscribe this list due noise. Please stop! I don't want to upset anyone here, but I don't regard Kraftwerk as too off-topic to mention once! Now, if you all start to speculate on the state of the US financial system or whether the British monarchy has a place in society then I think we'd be right to draw the line. But Kraftwerk? I'll decide what I'm interested in and what I'm not and I'll do any censoring that needs to be done here at my PC rather than ask everyone else to censor themselves before they post to the list. : a n d y * j a c k s o n : : l i b r a r i a n : : s c h o o l * o f * n u r s i n g * a n d * m i d w i f e r y : : u n i v e r s i t y * o f * d u n d e e : : d u n d e e * d d 1 * 9 s y : : t e l * 0 1 3 8 2 * 6 3 2 0 1 2 : # 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: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 11:56:06 EST From: JULZMON@aol.com Subject: Re: (yello) NEW KRAFTWERK SINGLE - 12/6/99 I personally am glad you posted about the new Kraftwerk. I expect for others and my self to let this list know about good music. We listen to Yello so you know we listen to good music. I was subscribed to Kraftwerk list but there is so much postings that I didn't care about that I got off it. Its nice to hear about other great groups on here such as Kraftwerk or William Orbit (new Madonna album coming out soon and his own classical album in Jan 17) Love you guys. Chill out. World piece!

Here is my opinion about this album. First of all, this album is GREAT, as other Yello albums. Motion Picture proves another time that Boris never repeats himself. I don't know why do some of you think that this album sounds like 80s' albums. I didn't notice anything which would be comparable to Flag, One Second and other albums. The only exception is Squeeze Please (this is the reason why this composition is more a hit than any others). Of course, there is something reminding old times. It's maybe more complicated structure of sounds than in Pocked Universe. It can remind 80s. But the kind of sounds totally changed. It's more "new" than "old" Yello. But it's STILL Yello. The music became less melodic and less ironic, if you know what i mean. But it became cooler and more rhythmic. This is the great music for dance. Listening to this album, it's impossible not to move a body. For anyone who loves Yello, this album is perfect. One of the most attractive traits of Yello is that you never know what kind of music they will produce the next time. You always expect something new and surprising. And finally you get it. Motion Picture is very good confirmation of it!

All the spectators have standed still. Than the acrobat jumped down into the barrel and took leave. Little boy. "Dad, i don't understand one thing. This piece was called deadly but noone has died...
