Reviews & Discussion
referencing Stella, LP, Album, 822 820-1
And just to add on to the two previous reviewers, I also feel Yello have always created a unique vision not only in musical craftsmanship, but in lyrics too. Their stories are hilarious, outrageous, dark or just plain silly and playful, intertwined with the music to create a self-contained, complete experience.

Ditto previous reviewer...
Came back this album, after 20 odd years; replacing 'lost music'.
Should I revisit this album?
Hell Yeah (Oh Yeah!!)
It's 80s electronica, surely it will have dated badly??
Hell No!!
Sounds as good as did all those years ago, totally fresh.
Could be a manual for creating modern dance music, expecpt that there's about a 1000 times more crammed into it
Yello pre-empted the 'dance music' explosion of the late 80s, and rightly got the recognition and rewards they were undoubtedly due when the 'boom' arrived.
A tremendous record....

I gave Yello's "One Second" a stellar review, and very deservedly so, and "Stella" is very good too - but not quite as stellar as "One Second". This album is twenty times better than all of the schwag techno I've heard in the last five years, but "One Second" is better. Not a whole lot better, but a bit better. "Stella" is still an excellent piece of work. Considering that "One Second" had two additional years for the boys to work on their chops, this is still an excellent album that matches superior innovation with finely honed musicianship. Let's face it, these guys were way ahead of their time! They were doing things that are just now being tried by todays "pretend" producers. And the real problem here is that most people only know "Oh Yeah" because it was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - and there's so much more to this band than that! They were excellent musicians and producers beside that one hit (that incidently made them rich!). Check out these two albums! You will hear innovators who were light years ahead of the curve. And you won't be disappointed unless your a total cynic who refuses to hear real innovation. There's plenty of those people out there!
