Great book for Yello FansBy A. Stanton"Stella," was one of my favorite albums from Yello. Along with their 1987 album, One Second, Yello for me, created their own unique niche, sound, and vibe. Jonas' book excellently documents the details of the making of this album. One of my favorite parts of the book was reading Yello's Boris and Dieter give track by track comments about what each track on the album is about, along with their initial ideas for each song, and the process of changes until the final product.This book will certainly interest hard-core Yello fans, but it might also create new ones, once the reader realizes how creative Boris and Dieter was in not only putting this album together, but all of their other excellent albums.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Small but highly entertaining!By Bruce DawsonJonas has been working on a massive career spanning bio on Yello for many years, much of this was done without much band support, in an effort to get more band support he has released this segment of his book, this part features very in-depth detail on Yello's Album Stella. If you are a fan of Yello this is a must read! There is so much more to this band than the 80's classic, "Oh Yeah".0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. mehBy RickIt would have been interesting to hear more about the recording process than record release details. I'm a huge Yello fan but I felt it was kind of lacking in details surrounding the creative process. I'm not really interested in knowing which mix was on which singe. "Stella mdash; The Story Behind the Album" is the first ever book in English about the Swiss worldwide phenomena YELLO. It focuses on one of their most popular and beloved albums: STELLA; how it came about, the singles, unknown "behind the scenes" stories, track-by-track comments by Dieter and Boris, single sleeve photos, and more! It is written by long-time fan, Jonas Warstad, who personally interviewed Boris for this book.PLEASE NOTE that because of the size and placement of the color images included in this book, it is recommended that it be viewed using the #3 font setting (3rd font from the left) on your Kindle device.

  • '4Room Song' Carlos Peron Remix Press Release
    Carlos Peron (founder of Yello) Remixes Alex Ross-Iver Track ‘4 Room Song’ Experimental producer Alex Ross-Iver has unveiled a new remix of his track ‘4 Room Song’ from influential Swiss musician, and Yello founder, Carlos Peron. The half-Russian, half Georgian producer, has been slowly working towards the forefront of the avant-garde electro scene. Well known within the Moscow club scene, Ross-Iver’s music bridges the gap between dance and ambient. Certainly, his recent work with Icelandic composer Gisli Kristjansson - known for his work with Duffy, and Roisin Murphy (Moloko) - showcases his sound quite impeccably. The collaborative work between the two, ‘Fire Inside’ featuring vocalist Eliza Newman, reached number 17 in the Music Week Club Charts. Initially released in 2011, ‘4 Room Song’ sparked some first rate reviews. Notably the track was featured in Music Week and Ross-Iver experienced increased levels of exposure. Now, having caught the attention of Carlos Peron, Ross-Iver has seen the track remixed to create a new listening experience. Speaking of Yello, Moby has stated that their music “belongs to the most Influential and Remarkable in Electronic Music". Peron has further explored Ross-Iver’s song, bringing out the sultry vocal melodies and warm synthesisers. Elsewhere, the cultured electronic beats and distorted guitars signify the distinct Alex Ross-Iver sound. Listen to the track here: ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/4-room-song-carlos-peron-remix/id676770688 ) Fusing cutting-edge beats with distorted vocal samples, Alex Ross-Iver's music paints soundscapes in the mind and takes Brian Eno's concept of musical installations to another level for the 21st century.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Seasoned Exodus The Exile Mosaic of Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John University of Queensland (Australia) Abstract Psychedelic trance music and culture (psyculture) is explored as a culture of exodus rooted in the seasonal dance party culture evolving in Goa, India, over the 1970s/1980s, and revealing a heterogeneous exile sensibility shaping Goa trance and psyculture from the 1990s/2000s. That is, diverse transgressive and transcendent expatriations would shape the music and aesthetics of Goa/psytrance. Thus, resisting circumscription under singular heuristic formulas, Goa trance and its progeny are shown to be internally diverse. This freak mosaic was seasoned by expatriates and bohemians in exile from many countries, experienced in world cosmopolitan conurbations, with the seasonal DJ-led trance dance culture of Goa absorbing innovations in EDM productions, performance and aesthetics throughout the 1980s before the Goa sound and subsequent festival culture emerged in the mid-1990s. Rooted in an experimental freak community host to the conscious realisation and ecstatic abandonment of the self, psyculture is heir to this diverse exile experience. Keywords: Goa trance, psytrance, psyculture, exodus, cultural exile, counterculture, festival Graham St John is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland. His book forthcoming with Equinox in 2012 is Global Tribe: Spirituality, Technology and Psytrance. Other recent books include Technomad: Global Raving Countercultures

    Nouse Web Archives Band of the Week: Yello Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › Band of the Week › News Features Reviews Playlists Band of the Week: Yello Resident sound-nerd Tom Killingbeck thumbs through reams of musty vinyl so you don’t have to. Here are his weekly recommendations… Monday 17 January 2011 #11: Yello Who: Dieter Meier, Boris Blank, Carlos Perón. When: 1980’s. Where: Switzerland. Why: Swiss electro-pop pioneers Yello’s back-story reads like a Wes Anderson film that never got past pre-production. In the late 70’s, tech-nerds Boris Blank and Carlos Perón began an electronic music project with their knowledge of sampling and tape loops, inspired by the continental programming experiments of replicants like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. They soon realised they need a singer, so hired Dieter Meier, a millionaire industrialist as well as a conceptual artist, filmmaker, professional poker player, wine-maker and sometime golfer for the Swiss national team. Really. Together, the three set about putting together perhaps the most astonishingly brilliant synth-pop debut of all time, Solid Pleasure. The album stood head and shoulders above the crowds of synthesizer wielding thralls to Kraftwerk, and confidently advertised the group’s idiosyncrasy and versatility. Along with electronic interpretations of various exotic styles – ‘Downtown Samba’ and ‘Coast to Polka’ for example, there were bona fide pop hits in the form of the tongue twisting, driving ‘Bostich’. They even found time to include a three-piece electronic suite of ambient industrial music.
