Any YELLO fanatics here?

Count me in as a YELLO fanatic! Absolutely love them, aways have always will. Listening to Pocket Universe at the moment after spending most of the night listening to my old favourites Flag, One Second, Stella, Zebra and Baby.

What's your favourite YELLO album of all time?

IMO the "best" YELLO you can own is everything they did "after" you gotta say yes to another excess.... they've come on leaps and bounds and are constantly evolving into something different.

I urge you to listen to "Pocket Universe", "one Second", "Flag", "Zebra.... in fact..... listen to all of them you won't be disappointed. Their latest album is "The Eye" and I use it as one of my reference recordings.... not their best album ever but oh it's good and it's YELLO as they are in 2003.

The YELLO website has a few samples you can listen to so get your 'phones on and pop in for a listen.... these two guys are the godfathers of Techno, absolutely zany and genius all mixed into one nice package.

oooooooooh YELLOOOOOOOOOO!

Here's their site have a good scout round and listen to some of the samples, you will not be disappointed

I'm having a bit of a YELLO "fest" at the moment and just picked up the remaster of "solid pleasure" off ebay for an incredible £2 (it was sealed too!) Boris Blank has remastered most of their catalogue (last year / 2005) and the sound quality is just fantastic.. I must buy the rest of the remastered series, I know it means I'll double up on all of my albums but what the hell I love these guys quirkiness, there is just nobody out there as fresh and different as YELLO and the recording quality of some of their later albums is second to none IMO.

The Eye is their most disappointing work but, even then, there are a couple of tracks on it that justify its existence and the recording / engineering quality is just first class throughout.... those buzzes and "artefacts" that run the entire album are just soooo good from a technical standpoint.

Of the early work I'd recommend "solid pleasure" but really only if you're a hardcore fan, it's amazing that these guys were producing that sort of sound way back in 1980!

Of the more recent stuff "pocket Universe" and "Zebra" are two excellent albums and the midway stuff such as "one second" "Flag" "Baby" etc. just cannot be overlooked IMO.... in fact, NONE of their work can be overloooked, it's all fantastic and I never tire of their zany lyrics or rich electro tapestry.

My most prized YELLO album has to be "The CD single Collection" number 2659 out of 3000 limited edition (windsong international) superb master recordings, well worth getting if you can source a box set.

Flamin brilliant stuff! tied up, tied up, tied up...... whoah, great stuff. All remastered by Boris Blank last year, well worth picking them up he's made the recordings sound "even" better!
