From: "Jonas Warstad" Subject: (yello) album titles etcetera Date: 01 Jul 1997 06:28:02 +0200 'Stella' is the name of a charachter from the (still unreleased) 'Snowball' movie (the poor guy who was a prisoner in the stalactite cave). The scream you can hear in Stalakdrama is his. 'One Second' is after the one second samples fatured *within* the songs (not between). This album was their first to be recorded with the legendary Fairlight CMS Series III (50,000 £) sampler. 'Flag' is a bit more complicated than "because of the song 'The Race' ". It's actually so complicated that I can't remember it now, but it had something to do with an achievement. 'Baby' is simply because the finished album was sort of their 'baby' - something they'd created. The glassharp on Stella is heard on Vicious Games (if you listen carefully). There is no piano on Stella, only on Blue Nabou, first featured in a commercial in 1984, then as the B-side of Vicious Games. Blue Nabou was probably intended to be included on the album. Er, I think that's all...

The Fairlight CMS Series III was a novelty in 1986 and Boris created Goldrush and One Second in a way that was totally different from all his earlier albums: by using samples to build up a song. If the samples are exactly one second or not is of less importance - I mean what should he call the album? "0.34 Second"? :-) > forgot about Essential before.

Date: 06 Jul 1997 23:24:30 -0400 (EDT) Yesterday while I was walking downtown, I passed a guy who was wearing what appeared to be a Yello t-shirt. It was a black shirt, with dull grey text, in no recognizable "Yello" font. The front had the words: you gotta say yes to another excess There was a symbol underneath, which I recall looked like a "mitten", or a paw-print, in a circle, perhaps something like a "y": Oo The back had a few lines of lyrics: we love it we need it excess I'm not sure if those were the exact lines, but they were definately from the song. I wish I had asked the guy about the shirt, as I doubt I will ever see it again! Has anyone else ever seen/heard of this? Coincidentally, later that night, "Sweet Thunder" was used as accompanying music for a fireworks competition (Spain's finale), which I remember was used exactly 2 years ago in the same fireworks show. :) -- // Mike Maunz (formerly mm0@io.org) \\ \X/ Toronto, Canada RIP Internex Online 1993-1997 \X/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: I2CDave@aol.com Subject: (yello) Yello T Shirts Date: 07 Jul 1997 15:02:27 -0400 (EDT) Mike Maunz wrote to the list asking about Yello T shirts.

Date: 08 Jul 1997 12:02:25 +0300 Yesterday was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. Instead, it turned into a complete embarrasment. Yesterday was the day when I finally bought the long-expected LP - POCKET UNIVERSE. The first impression was: TERRIBLE! (It remained the same after I listened to it 3 more times). It seems, that YELLO have completely changed direction into techno music. There are so few songs that remind us of the old YELLO that we love so much - (On track, To the sea, and Beyond mirrors) although Beyond mirrors feels like more of a lecture than a song (There's some nice background music in it but it's still not the same). On track reminds me of ZEBRA's Night train with it's nice "rail&road" samples. And To the sea reminds of course of Rhythm divine (But no-one can really compare Shirley bassey's voice to the voice of Stina Nordestam). But what about songs like Magnetic, Monolith, Celsius, Resistor? What happened? It's just painful to hear those songs, much too painful. They sound just like a random collection of sounds instead of a song with a meaning. Where are the emotions? I'm beginning to think that if this was the first YELLO album I ever heard, I would have never become the group's fan, and the thought scares the hell out of me.

Unfortunately my local record stores still don't have a copy of the new cd yet, i can't wait to pick it up. I really love the 'Hands On Yello' cd, it is really interesting to hear their songs done by other artists. It was great to see how many really good artists had been influenced by yello.

Maybe it's because I have certain expectations (based on the previous albums) wich are mostly quite different from the new release, so I have to 'adjust'. That was not the case with 'Pocket Universe' though (except for 'Resistor'). I thought it was pretty good from the start. Maybe also my techno history has something to do with it. They chose a new path, they evolved together with the evolution of music in general, without losing their own particular Yello-sound. The samples and the way the samples are used are very much Yello as I experience it. Same goes for the way the songs are build up. Some great new sounds and good pieces of ambient a.o. Another masterpiece I would say. > Did anyone check out the 'Hands On Yello' compilations ?? > Remixes of Yello tracks by Cosmic Baby, Jam & Spoon, Oliver Lieb, > The Grid, Carl Cox, The Orb, Moby and more... Also a great album. Especially 'Dr. Van Steiner' (Cosmic Baby), 'Ciel Ouvert' (Jens) and 'L'Hotel' (Carl Cox). I'm not so fond of the way Plutone did 'Oh Yeah' (too little connections with the original) and Ilsa Gold's version of 'Live at the Roxy'. But the rest's great. > The liner notes are a really interesting read - these Techno/Trance > artists all mention what an influence Yello has had on their work. > > Now it seems Yello is being influenced by their stuff !!! > > Anyone else see this ??

Andre Seegers wrote; > Maybe its due to the fact tht I've really been into Techno for the last > few years (Carl Cox and some Essential Mix stuff etc.) I agree with Andre - it depends on which direction you come to Yello from, I think. If you have a background of Electropop, PU will sound pretty hard and techno-oriented. If you are more of a 'hard-faced techno spook', as John Peel puts it, you won't find anything out of the ordinary in the newer style. If, like me, you come from both directions you'll probably regard this as Yello claiming the Intelligent, Artistic Techno crown which is rightfully theirs. PU is a landmark and a turning point. It's better than Baby, and different to anything that's gone before. It's a different kind of Yello, but between the rhythms you can hear the beauty and quirkiness of Boris's older style in equal measure. I love it both on its own and as part of the Yello canon of work. They couldn't just keep remaking Stella ad infinitum. Well done for keeping an open ear to what's around now, lads.

All I know is that in '93 "The Art Of Noise" stopped breathing and left us all alone in the dark. One of the guys just up and went writing software. As if he wasn't doing something a lot better. In the beginning, there was Prince and Queen. Freddy died to early, Prince didn't know you should quit while your ahead. Jean Michel Jarre liked synthesiser. So did Isao Tomita. Weirdly enough they use the instrument in a totally different way. YELLO came and they are still ahead. They use the synth in a different way entirely. I can defenately hear an Art of Noise influence in some songs and even some Tomita (but they won't know that). But what is very weird: At the end, they suddenly go "once upon a time in the west" on us. Boris has an Enio Moricone in the shelf and that man never did techno, believe me.

I just played thru the One Second cd and noticed how familiar the song "L'Hotel" sounds to an instrumental track on a live David Bowie record-"Stage." The track is titled "Warzania" and is co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno. The droning march tempo is what I believe ties them together. Both being instrumentals, I've found you can basically mix one atop the other to get a compoiste song. I don't have a mixer but i played one in the cd drive & the other on the turntable in the other room. Anyone else have this Bowie recording? It may also be on the Scary Monsters (or Low?) release.

In a word: Wow! SOLAR DRIFTWOOD What a wonderful start to the album! The music was anticipatory, expectant, and some other words which mean the same thing... CELSIUS Highlights: the vocal "Ah"s which are a semitone above the bass, the 'African' lyrics, spooky motif at c.3:00. And now for the big question: are the words real words or are they nonsense words? (I suspect it's the latter.) MORE Now where have I heard this before - oh, I know - it was on Jam & Spoon's Great Mission (Haus Mix). Did J&S get the music from Boris, or the other way around? On first listening, this song seemed to be a bit long, not going anywhere, but I'm getting used to it. ON TRACK Highlight: the 'train rattling' samples. Oh I liked the rest of the piece too. Probably the best song on the album. MONOLITH Also the best song on the album. Wonderfully atmospheric. Highlights: Syrinx, Alhambra vocals & percussion. TO THE SEA Highlights: 0:50, 1:32, 3:04 electronic 'drum roll'. Stina's vocals. Lowlight: the bonus track. It's okay, but didn't fit in with the rest of the album. I'm not as bothered by the 'stops and starts' as I was on an earlier posting. MAGNETIC I don't hate the song, but I'm not particularly fond of it either. Sorry, folks. LIQUID MOUNTAIN / PAN BLUE Liquid Mountain makes good film music. These are growing on me... RESISTOR In a word "relentless" - relentlessly heading towards the end of the - um - album. It could have been faster, though... :) Highlights: "Aaaaaaaaah" (that's a scream), "go!" (especially following the "We're all here on this planet" section), "faster, faster, faster, faster" Cringe: Why were those arpeggio 'blips' so badly out of tune? For a minute I thought that the "African" singing in this song was taken from Celsius, but it wasn't. Oh well... One song which didn't appear in Resistor was "Magneto", but that's okay, because that song did appear on...: BEYOND MIRRORS Nice music, but shame about the words... Maybe it's just me, but I find it strange to be told that "there is no such thing as a definite fact in science", then to be told that "mass is a physical interpretation of energy" (definite fact), and "Galileo Galilei was in fact correct". If "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", it doesn't follow that the technology is magic, or that magic exists at all. But maybe I just live in the universe next door... OVERALL Overall I enjoyed PU. Now I'll have to decide which song I like the most, for Greg Vialle's survey...

I don't wish to appear condescending, but Mr Pulley doesn't seem to understand what is meant by the word "fact". A fact is defined as a "thing certainly known to have occurred or be true". The statement "mass is a physical interpretation of energy" is just that, a statement about the nature of energy and is no more a fact than stating that it is impossible to be absolutely certain of anything. Which is in effect what Dieter Meier is saying. "Beyond Mirrors" is about the idea that the universe is infinitely complex and is therefore by definition incapable of being fully comprehended. No matter how far we advance, there will always remain a part that will remain unknowable. Magic is magic, precisely because we do not know how "A" and "B" resulted in "C". To a "primitive" tribe, a shotgun will appear to be magical since they have no understanding of how it functions. To be confronted by magic is to look at things anew and realise that everything is not what you thought it to be, it is to be filled with a sense of wonder and awe. A child views the world in precisely this way: in adulthood we can all to easily begin to stagnate because we start to take to many things as given. Dieter Meier has stated that Yello treat the studio as a child would and therefore view each new endeavour as a voyage of discovery. This is why Yello have have always retained the ability to re-invent themselves and stay fresh. Of course they have their influences - Dieter listed Mahler's Ninth Symphony as a favourite piece in an article in "The Face" some years ago, so merely looking for clues in the world of Techno is more than a little limiting. Yello can sound like everything and everybody while still remaining Yello, its why they're so unique. So when back in April, on a trip to Budapest, I spied a copy of "Pocket Universe" in a record store window the feelings of anticipation and excitment that filled me had that same magical quality that I felt when my mother and I went to buy my first racing bicycle all those years ago. Yello are fun, yet most of the postings I've read since I've been on this list seem to be oblivious to this "fact".

As lead singer of the techno-rock group YELLO, a celebrated artist, a feature film-maker, and a columnist for the prestigious New Zurich Daily, Dieter Meier is a true Renaissance man. Born in 1945 in Zurich, Switzerland, Meier grew up in one of Zurich's most accomplished and important banking families. Meier not only continued his family's success, he renewed it -- taking it in a colorful, new direction. The first of many notable achievements was back in 1972, when he was awarded the honor of being the Swiss representative at the Documenta 5, an annual world renowned contemporary art exhibit. Later that year, Meier was invited to participate in other prestigious exhibits and festivals such as, Cannes Film Festival and Kunstmuseum Lucerne. It is for a different talent, however, that Meier is often recognized by people in the street. Through the group YELLO, Meier helped define techno, bringing it to the forefront of the European and American music and dance scenes. YELLO's music is a familiar presence on Hollywood soundtracks -- think "Oh Yeah" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Walt Disney's Santa Clause, and Nuns On The Run, not-to-mention a common theme to rouse a crowd at many sports events. The creative videos that Meier has produced have been showcased at New York's Museum of Modern Art and are listed among the 50 all-time best in Rolling Stone. Several albums with over 7 million in sales and 27 music videos later, Meier once again pushes the envelope with his latest endeavor, ReWATCH. A line of recycled watches made from crushed soda and beer cans, ReWATCH serves as further proof that he can transform something ordinary into something brilliant. Already a cutting-edge trend in Europe, ReWATCH will make its US debut in New York, in November, 1996. With Meier's energy and dynamic presence behind this project, ReWATCH is sure to be a buzz word in the US as well. Another member of Meier's fashion repertoire is En Soie Sourire, a Swiss company which designs, manufactures and distributes upscale silk scarves and clothing, jewelry, small furniture and home accessories. He has established retail outlets in Palm Beach, Florida; Duesseldorf, Germany; Zurich, Switzerland; and coming Fall 1996, Madison Avenue, New York City. Meier is also co-owner of Ulysse Nardin, a company that produces very high-end luxury watches. The combination of creativity and sharp business sense is what distinguishes Dieter Meier in both the art and business worlds. With four children and so many interests, it's a wonder how he has time to pursue them all. "It's very hectic trying to keep up with everything I care about," says Meier. "But I wouldn't have it any other way." -- // Mike Maunz (formerly mm0@io.org) \\ \X/ Toronto, Canada RIP Internex Online 1993-1997 \X/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info yello" in the message. # Postings must go to yello@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Lazlo Nibble" Subject: (yello) Technomajikal Date: 15 Jul 1997 14:53:15 -0600 (MDT) > I just noticed something new on eros (uk cat pc) > > "Technomajikal" by deiter meier > > cd dist by vci > > Is this a new release ??????

When I first started listening to Yello, I was coming from the opposite direction (from 'Classical' music), and knew virtually nothing about the top 10, much to the disappointment of my school friends at the time! I've always liked how they don't write things to a formula - they're free to experiment with sound and write REAL music, rather than ephemeral music for the masses. And, I agree, Yello is also fun. >Yello are fun, yet most of the >postings I've read since I've been on this list seem to be oblivious to this >"fact".

Could someone translate it? While I do know German, it's a bit too tough for me... :) Dieter Meier Der Dandy uebernimmt sich als Unternehmer Der Popmillionaer Dieter Meier steckt in Schwierigkeiten. Seine Uhrenfabrikation und sein Filmprojekt "Snowball" harzen. Zum Glueck hat er noch das Technoduo Yello. Von Philip Wegmueller Das Seidenfoulard zurechtgerueckt, das spitze Kinn nach vorn gereckt und die Brauen hochgezogen, bis die Augaepfel fast aus den Hoehlen treten - Dieter Meier weiss sich stets extravagant in Szene zu setzen. Nur mit seinem juengsten Auftritt scheint er Muehe zu bekunden. "Ich muss", sagt der Zuercher Selbstdarsteller, "den Industriellenblick noch etwas ueben." Zehn Millionen Uhren wolle er verkaufen, hatte der Besitzer der Uhrenmarke Crash vor einem Jahr angekuendigt. "Da besteht eine grosse Nachfrage." Doch bisher ist daraus nichts geworden. In der Metallfabrik Luedi AG in Flawil, wo Meiers Uhren fabriziert werden, laufen die Maschinen nur auf niederen Touren. Firmenchef Fritz Luedi: "Wir warten seit einem Jahr im hoechsten Marschbereitschaftsgrad, aber Dieter Meier hat uns das Zeichen zur Abfahrt noch nicht gegeben." Stattdessen hat der umtriebige Bankierssohn Meier, Villenbesitzer am Zuerichberg und in Hollywood, bei einem Blitzbesuch im Betrieb fleissig Autogramme unter den Fabrikarbeitern verteilt. Besser laeuft das Geschaeft mit Yello, Meiers international beruehmter Popgruppe, die an der Entstehung der Techno-Musik massgeblich beteiligt war und seit 1980 etwa zehn Millionen Alben und Singles verkauft hat. Ein vor kurzem veroeffentlichter Comeback-Titel, "To the Sea", erklimmt derzeit die Hitparaden. Dieter Meier erscheint auf der Produktion allerdings nur am Rand; Text und Gesang stammen von der schwedischen Saengerin Stina Nordenstam, komponiert hat die zurueckhaltend pulsierende House-Nummer sein Partner Boris Blank. Auch auf dem neuen Yello-Album "Pocket Universe" haelt sich Meier auffallend zurueck. Er, der frueher mit dadaistischen Parolen die rhythmisch vertrackten Yello-Hits anpeitschte, ist auf der CD nur noch vereinzelt zu hoeren - mit philosophischen Kurzbetrachtungen ueber Rhythmus und Magie, Gott und die Welt. Verabschiedet sich Dieter Meier mit bald 52 Jahren aus dem Popbusiness? Der einstige Golf-Nationalspieler zieht die Brauen noch ein wenig hoeher und senkt den stechenden Blick zu Boden. "Rein quantitativ habe ich als Texter und Regisseur seit jeher weniger Zeit mit Yello verbracht, als es Boris tut", sagt er. "Aber ich stamme aus einer Familie von Geschaeftsleuten, und ich moechte mich meines klaren Beduerfnisses, mich geschaeftlich zu betaetigen, nicht mehr laenger enthalten. Ich will immer noch Neues lernen." Bereits hat der Bentleyfahrer schmerzhaft lernen muessen, dass es im Geschaeftsleben auch ein Profi-Pokerspieler, wie er einst einer war, nicht leicht hat. In einem ersten Versuch, sich als Industrieller zu beweisen, hatte Meier die Uhrenmarke Crash uebernommen, eine Recyclinguhr. Die Gehaeuse sind aus zusammengepresstem Aluminiumabfall gefertigt, Cola- und Bierdosen, die Lederarmbaender teils aus ausgedienten Mercedes-Ledersitzen. Die Uhr soll ausser der Zeit zeigen, sagt Meier, "dass wir in einer Wegwerfgesellschaft leben". Doch das Geschaeft mit der Uhr tickte von Anfang an nicht richtig. Gleich nachdem Meier die Crash-Aktienmehrheit uebernommen hatte, stellten sich die Probleme ein. Meier musste 100 000 Franken Kapital einschiessen und mit dem mondaenen Uhrenhersteller Cartier einen Rechtsstreit wegen Patentrechten ausfechten. Insgesamt duerfte er mit seinem Einstieg ins Uhrenbusiness eine Million Franken verloren haben; genaue Zahlen mag er nicht nennen, der juristische Kleinkrieg mit Cartier laeuft noch. "Mein groesster Fehler war", bekennt er, "dass ich statt einen klaren Schlussstrich zu ziehen die Firma viel zu lange weitergezogen habe. Ein schoener Teil der Investitionen ist in dieser Uebergangsphase verloren gegangen." Am Rechtshaendel aergert ihn weniger der Geldverlust als die Zeitverschwendung. "Als ich 50 wurde", sinniert er, "habe ich gelernt, dass man mit der Zeit, die man auf dieser Welt hat, sehr sorgfaeltig umgehen muss." Haette Meier nicht eine Uhr zu verkaufen, man wuerde ihm diese Altersweisheit gern abnehmen. Der Crash mit Crash war nicht das erste Mal, dass Meiers Ideen in der Umsetzung haperten. So kuendigt der eloquente Parleur seit 1990 seinen Kunstfilm "Snowball" an. Obwohl die Dreharbeiten schon seit Jahren abgeschlossen sind, hat noch niemand den Streifen gesehen. "25 Prozent der Negative wurden durch einen Unfall beschaedigt", gibt Meier an. Mit ein Grund fuer die mehrjaehrige Verspaetung duerfte aber sein, dass Meier, Regisseur und Kapitalgeber des ambitioesen Projekts, 160 Stunden Filmmaterial im Kasten hat und sich auf keine endgueltige Kinofassung festlegen kann. Dabei waere der Film enorm wichtig fuer sein unternehmerisches Weiterkommen, besonders fuer die Zukunft seiner amerikanischen Filmproduktionsgesellschaft. "Mein kommerzielles Ueberleben haengt davon ab, wie der Film in den USA ankommen wird." Hollywood, hat er gelernt, "ist ein gewaltiges Kasino mit gewaltigen Einsaetzen". Doch so schnell gibt der Filmemacher, Musiker und Dandy, der gerne auch Industrieller waere, nicht auf. Seinen Vater Walter, den heute 83-jaehrigen Exdirektor der Privatbank Hoffmann, und seinen Bruder Balthasar, Besitzer der Luxusstrumpf-Marke Fogal, hatte er jahrelang am Familientisch mit wohlfeilen Ratschlaegen genervt, wie Business zu machen waere. Jetzt moechte Meier beweisen, dass er nicht nur wie ein Entrepreneur reden, sondern auch geschaeften kann - koste es, was es wolle. Das uebrigens kann es auch, da Meier ueber ein stattliches Vermoegen verfuegt. Nach der Bruchlandung mit der Crash-Uhr hat sich Dieter Meier fuers Produkt einen neuen Namen ausgedacht, der keine rechtlichen Schwierigkeiten mit der Konkurrenz provoziert: ReWatch. Nun freuen den Unternehmer in spe, der auch das tschechische Pilsnerbier Lobkov in die Schweiz importiert, schon bescheidene Anfangserfolge. Er redet nicht mehr davon, zehn Millionen Uhren absetzen zu wollen, sondern bis Mitte Jahr 50 000; bereits habe er 2500 Stueck verkauft, "was sehr beachtlich ist". Und gerne erzaehlt er, dass die renommierte "New York Times" und CNN ausfuehrlich ueber ReWatch berichteten. "Es besteht ein sehr grosses Interesse an dieser Uhr, und ich behaupte, dass wir in diesem Jahr auf die Beine kommen werden. Alle Anzeichen sind bestens." Dass es sein Produkt nur in 14 Laeden in New York zu kaufen gibt und die Oeko-Uhr mit einer Siliziumbatterie laeuft, haengt er nicht an die grosse Glocke. Da meldet sich aus dem Hintergrund ploetzlich die dazugestossene Yello-Haelfte Boris Blank zu Wort, dem Meiers Eigenpromotion in Sachen ReWatch etwas ungeheuer wird: "Unsere Band ist kein Gemischtwarenladen. Mit unserer Musik hat die Uhr nichts zu tun." Dieter Meier prueft ungeruehrt seine Frisur und reckt sein Pokerface in die Kamera. Denn was hat der Millionenerbe von seinem Vater gelernt? "Dass man seine Ideen hartnaeckig verteidigen muss. Und dass man Zweifel, Kritik und Spott ertragen lernt."

Could anyone tell me what style I can expect on "Solid Pleasure"? I'm thinking of buying it, but I haven't found it in the stores yet, so maybe I'll order it (but then I'ld like to know in advance what to expect). Can it be compared to any of the other albums? I have "1980-1985 The New Mix......." But I'm not sure as to which songs are taken from "Solid Pleasure" (because "Claro Que Si" is also still missing from my collection).

Basically "Bananas to the Beat" and "Bostich" are the only tracks from "Solid Pleasure" on "New Mix" and these are somewhat different from the original versions. "Daily Disco", "The Evening's Young" and "Pinball Cha Cha" are the "Claro Que Si" tracks and have also be changed substantially (for instance, the spoken introduction to the "New Mix" version of "Daily Disco" is not on the original). I would say "Claro Que Si" is the better album personally but this is just because it has one of my all-time favourite Yello tracks "She's Got a Gun". However, in the UK both are available on mid-price: so I wouldn't imagine you would break the bank by buying both. "Solid Pleasure" is (not suprisingly) more like "Claro Que Si" than any other Yello album (which isn't of much help to you !). Up until and including "You Gotta Say Yes...", Yello had a third member: Carlos Peron and sounds that are now produced by samplers were achieved by splicing together tapes. The early albums therefore sound less "polished" than their successors. However, unlike many groups Yello established their own distinctive sound very early on and there is nothing like the gulf that say you get with Kraftwerk when comparing "Ralf and Florian" to say "Trans Europe Express". It is not difficult to recognise in "Solid Pleasure" the same group that would go onto make "Pocket Universe" 17 years later. Only perhaps the guitar in "Blue Green" bears an obvious debt to Pink Floyd (though this could also be said of "Desire"). Whatever, I do not think you will be disappointed: enjoy!

The electronics are certainly rawer, but the sound is unmistakably Yello. The album's highpoint (and indeed, Yello's) is a track called 'Night Flanger' which is unlike anything else they have ever done - it's a low-slung, funky pop song which should have sold millions when released as a single. It has handclaps, backbeat electric piano chords and a Chico Hablas guitar break which is perfection on a six-string - piss off Clapton, Knopfler, Hendrix! Despite everything else they've done - all that followed, all the classic tracks that get talked about on this group - I think this is the best thing they ever did. But that's just my opinion!

Look at "http://www.eunet.fi/tucows" or at any other Tucows site for a MS Win program 'winamp'. Georg Plank's MP3 files are somehow mac-enveloped and will not play generally.
