Slices DVD

Just watched the new Slices DVD. The Yello feature is really great and goes more into detail of how Yello puts songs together. Some great shots in the studio of the boys recording a song. Also some behind the scenes of Touch Yello which looks like it will be lots of fun. Seems to focus more on Boris which I really loved. Highly recommended. Julian

8 Track Sampler
by Jon Kamm 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

I've been lucky enough to hear 8 of the tracks from the new album. Out of the 8 only 2 are upbeat danceable tunes. The Expert and Part Love. The others are very subdued almost smooth jazz type of tracks. Heidi Happy fits just wonderfully into Boris's soundscapes. She is the featured vocalist on "Stay" and "You Better Hide". Her voice is easy to like. Dieter vocals appear on the other 5 tracks. We hear all his different voices from creepy whispers to booming vocals to funky raps. Till Broenners trumpet appears in the background on "You Better Hide". But he is featured on "Till Tomorrow". He sounds great. So far I think this is probably their most commercial project. I could see all these tracks showing up on the radio or in commercials. All very catchy tunes. The final track Takla Makan is an 8 minute instrumental featuring the incredible flute of Dorothee Oberlinger. This track gives you visions of traveling through India or visiting a Shoalin Temple. Very atmospheric. Be great music for a massage. The sound quality of course is impeccable. I hear something new every time I listen. The tracks have different feels wether you listen in your car, on your computer or with headphones ...etc. Still 6 tracks I have not heard. So I am looking forward to that. So far I am liking what I hear. I can't share the tracks but for fun I made a 30 second track of all 8 songs. Just to tease you. Listen here. http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/Sites/8in30.m4a

iTunes

Yes, thats the way they should do it. But it's easier to wait. The Eye was put up after the release. I'm sure Touch YELLO will go up at some point. Don't worry. Yes I saw they want to get paid every time someone listens to a 30 second sample. Crazy.

iTunes

It will most definitely be released on iTunes and other download services. But not before the actual release date. One of the reasons is they give 30 second samples. They want the new album as secret as possible up to the release. I would think middle of Oct you will start seeing it show up on iTunes.

Different track lists?
by Jon Kamm 17 Sep '09

Many sites are showing this track list. 1. Bostich (reflected) 2. You Better Hide 3. The Expert 4. Electric Frame 5. Part Love 6. Stay 7. Friday Smile 8. Till Tomorrow 9. Tangier Blue 10. Out Of Dawn 11. Scorpio Rising 12. Vertical Vision 13. When Love 14. Trackless Deep 15. Takla Makan But Universal has posted this list missing the "Scorpio Rising" and "When Love" tracks and adding the track "Kiss In Blue". 1. The Expert - 02:55 2. You Better Hide - 04:15 3. Out Of Dawn - 03:13 4. Bostich (Reflected) - 03:57 5. Till Tomorrow - 04:17 6. Tangier Blue - 02:42 7. Part Love - 03:42 8. Friday Smile - 03:36 9. Kiss In Blue - 03:34 10. Vertical Vision - 04:18 11. Trackless Deep - 03:20 12. Stay - 03:02 13. Electric Frame - 03:36 14. Takla Makan - 08:33 I'm wondering if one list is for the CD and one is for the vinyl. That would make more vinyl sales. Cool, and we get one more new track.
