Well obviously with my seller name on Discogs - Yello99 - then I guess this is not going to be a negative comment. I have followed these 2 guys(originally 3 - Carlos Peron was with them at the outset) since Claro que Si in 1979. Absolutely an eclectic mix of rhythms and beats on all their music. Lyrics - witty, sad, you name it and it’s there. Production is second to none - absolutely brilliant. Crystal clear, excellent sound separation. Easily more enjoyable on ‘cans’ but not far behind on a good pair of speakers. Their 2 recent DVDS - Live in Berlin and Live at the Montreux Jazz festival - are classy to say the least. A musical show/truly wonderful soundscape. I’d love to have been in the audience. Truly 2 magnificent elderly guys still enjoying themselves in 2021. Keep going guys. (What happened to Beat Ash?).

Just been wondering lately why unlike so many of their "contemporaries" ,why there are so few Yello japanese VINYL releases ? Anyone have any knowledge/ideas/hypothesis as to why?

Yello are a very interesting group that influenced a lot of European Techno from the late 80s onwards... Also Carlos Peron must not be forgotten for his major input within the group Yello... Check his solo career from the early days...

I love the works of the group "Yello". In 2019, at one of the parties, I put the song "I Love U" from "Mix One Go". I never thought that this track would be such a dance

When you listen to such songs as Drive Driven, Of Course Im Lying, Blazing Saddles, you will find yourself in a different world. However, the necessary condition for the transition to this other world must be that you really love music.

Yello...quirky, intelligent, electronic...Swiss! Take some of Kraftwerks electro aesthetics add laughing gas(theres always a bit of seriousness meets comical in their music and lyrics) and true composition craftsmanship and there you have Yello. Unique never replicated and if one has a broad enough listening palette simply brilliant pop music not cut from the same old moldy piece of musical cheese(and much tastier than Velveeta!).

I think Yello is something of a same league as Kraftwerk. But different angle of course. It was an inspiration to a lot of cult DJ's and electronic groups, and we're talking about the ones who are considered to be the cornerstone of the electronic dance scene. Check out their remix album 'Hands on Yello' released something 20 odd years back - you will find impressive count of characters doing the remixes ranging from Carl Cox, Moby, The Orb to Westbam and Carl Craig, Jam & Spoon etc. Their input is huge. They are incomparable with anything. They are still alive. They always will be.

Yello is something perfect as a Swiss watch. Were much ahead of their times and even nowadays they are always fresh and new, sounding with incredible precision and perfect mixing. Always vivid and moving. Incredible versatility, hypnotic voice. Boris Blank is simply a studio master from every aspect: great songwriter, one of the greatest arranger and he is maybe the biggest master behind the mixing-console. Their last album "Touch" sounds not only brilliant but the sonic quality is it. Yello is the perfect band, may satisfy everyone!
