Nice. But no mention of the new album, unfortunately...

I'm buying them in chronological order to track their evolution (though I'm considering buying their new album as soon as it comes out). Next up for me is Stella.

That song is from "Pocket Universe" album. If you haven't yet heard it I strongly recommend to get it. I think it is Yello's ultimate work.

I wouldn't know, I've only gotten the first three albums so far (& heard some of the tracks with music videos).

I'm convinced that in 'On track' at 04:29 there is a sound of table tennis hitting the surface. What do you reckon?

Is Moon Dog one of those unreleased tracks? I never heard it. But, I personally have made some fairly convincing whale noise using slowed down samples of electrical squeals. I don't know what the Moon Dog ones sound like, though.

For a long time I've been trying to get people to notice the beginning sound in Moon Dog. It sounds very similar to the Star Trek movie sound of whale talking probe that came to earth. I think it was Star Trek 3. Check it out and let me know if I'm right. Also in Baby I think there is a sound of a snowball hitting a window. Boris mentioned this in an interview somewhere.

Does anyone else ever listen to Yello & try to figure out what Boris may have used to make a specific sound? I do, & thought it might be interesting if we shared our best guesses (or, if you are in the know, what it actually was) about specific sounds. Off the top of my head, here's some guesses-

Most of the sounds in "No More, Roger" - tounge noise
The start of "I Love You" - filtered voice samples (I actually managed to get something that sounded kind of like it once)
The ambience at the start of "Salut Mayoumba" - distorted classical music
That 'pop' sound in "No More Words" & "Base For Alec" - dropping something in water

That's all I can think of right now. Anyone else got any?

Shooting the Dark (a collaboration with Carlos Per�n from 1978. Released (without Boris' knowledge) by Carlos Peron in 2001 on his double-CD 'BEST OF ... VOL. II - PORCELLUM TRAIANUM')

Also on the flipside of I.T. Splash was Gluehead but an early version of Gluehead was released called "Bluehead" but it was released in 1982 on a UK 7".

She's Got a Gun 3.42/Bluehead 2.26 [early mix of 'Glue Head'] (Do It Records, DUN 1

I think it is I.T. Splash as well back in 1979.

I heard somewhere that they want to release it around the end of the summer (which is also when I release my first album. Looks like they'll have some tough competition )

Indeed it is. My prediction is that "Distant Light", "Pacific Rim", & maybe "Umbria" will appear on the album (because they sound the most complete), & the other tracks are more of a preview of the style.
