My least favorite Yello track is Dr. Van Steiner. I love Jingle Bells and all the remixes of Jingle Bells. I listen to them quite often. I love all the Yello tracks that get remixed Oh Yeah, The Race all of them. The remixes are new songs to me. I enjoy what each DJ has done to make the song original to themselves. Sure some are not as fun as others but even if a DJ remixed Dr. Van Steiner I would still get excited about it and enjoy what they chose to do to the song. If I dismissed a remix simply because "it's a remix" it would make me sort of a Yello supremacist. I am not a member of the YYY : ) So I guess my list of best to worst would be. 1. Every Yello song 2. Dr. Van Steiner
I agree with you on the Jingle Bells single. Especially the Santa Club mix is such a JAM! The recording quality of this single is excellent also. Didn't someone say before that Boris didn't like this single or some kind of background story to it? J On Jul 2, 2006, at 4:06 PM, Jon Kamm wrote:

I recall reading that Boris was 'not proud' of the song. (I don't know if that means he hated it, or just that he thought he could have done better.) It would be interesting to know what Boris' and Dieter's least favourite tracks are.

I don't really understand the direction of "Soul Universe" Although it has some very neat sounds and rhythms, it just seems odd for their other works. It seems to go more into a type of personal religious statement. Any thoughts on likes or dislikes for that work? Mark D Mark Pulley <mrpulley@tpg.com.au> wrote: Quoting Julian :

"Now baby, you're changing all the rules, you're taking advantage of a fool..." For me Dr Van Steiner is one of the strongest, and one of the more complex, theatrical pieces of music. This is a dark piece of music, before the trance genre even started playing with minor chords, powerful, decisive, melancholy, it even has a hard edge. Is this a show, a show within a show, are we inside looking out? Or is it merely a parallel. Who (including the listener) is where in relation to the players in this song? And what is "he" a doctor of? -- Regards, Nic. We are the architects, not the victims of our own destiny
