Hi all!
 
Some months ago I visited Jonas Warstad and read some excerpts from his book. First of all,
it's not finished yet. He's been working hard to make it as good as possible, and hopefully
it's been done soon. I only read excerpts, but got an idea of what the whole book is going to
be.
 
The book is truly documentary. There's no author's opinions or something, only very detailed
info of everything Yello have ever done. There is very detailed info of every single, every
version, and all unreleased tracks. There's very detailed info of every release, with exact
dates. Also there is quick info of DJs who did all remixes. Every film and commercial where
the Yello music was used is mentioned, also with dates. So I guess after the book has been
released, you will have no questions left.
 
It's not divided into chapters. Instead, it "flows", and is more like a book than
"encyclopedy", although it's really rerally encyclopedic. There's only one separate chapter,
and this chapter is about Dieter. It's pretty logical, since the main Yello man is Boris, so
the whole book is centred around him. You will find biographical info about him at the very
beginning.
 
And, of course, there is something that will make most of you particularly happy -- technical
details. Lots of!!! You will find exact (and detailed, as usual) info about all Boris' equipment, and all changes of his studio as time progressed. Also technical details aboutrecording process. Isn't it the info some of you need the most??
 
There are lots of quotes there. Some quotes were taken from Boris' and Dieter's interviews
from various music magazines. And many quotes are unique because they're from exclusive
Boris' interviews taken by Jonas Warstad's himself. Also there are quotes from interviews
with musicians, such as Marco Colombo, who worked with Yello.
 
You will find lots of info about every album -- dates, how it was created, when it was
planned first etc. Afrer the info of the whole album, there goes the info about all tracks -- track by track, all with Boris' own comments, also about how it had been recorded, so you will get very clear and detailed info. Perhaps the way of Jonas' writing is a bit too "dry" but it was his intention to make a documentary, containing as much info as possible. Even various releases of same albums are mentioned, including info about different covers for different releases.
 
So if you want to know all about Yello, this book will make you absolutely happy!
 
Cheers,
Adelka
