After writing most of Depeche Mode's debut album, SPEAK AND SPELL, Vince Clarke left that band and hooked up with singer/pianist Alison Moyet, whose booming, soulful, R&B-inflected voice could not have been more different from that of Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan. The combination of Moyet's incredible voice and Clarke's electronic pop songs gave Yaz (known as Yazoo outside the US) a unique sound that lasted far beyond its brief lifespan. In fact, this 1999 compilation was actually spurred by the success of a popular television commercial featuring its lovely ballad "Only You."
Combining the best parts of the duo's two albums, 1982's UPSTAIRS AT ERIC'S and 1983's YOU AND ME BOTH, with a couple of new remixes, this collection is most notable for including the superior single mix of the dance club classic "Situation." A fine introduction to an influential act.

Alternative Press (12/99, p.107) - "...catchy-as-herpes synth pop with soul-diva vocals. Alison Moyet's gritty, white0chick-sounds-like-black-man voice contrasted wonderfully with [Vince] Clarke's post-Depeche Mode toytown melodies..."

Only Yazoo: The Best Of songs
$15.89 
Number Ones replaces Design of a Decade, released 14 years prior. Excepting the new song "Make Me" (hard neo-disco/funk excellence), each song here was indeed a number one hit on Billboard's various charts, though "Got 'Til It's Gone" sneaks through a side door via the Japanese charts. One number one, oddly, is missing: "So Excited," a perfectly fine, 2006 single which topped the club chart. This set is more thorough with 1986-1996, ...

Only Yazoo: The Best Of songs
$7.39
As the music industry's fixation with the commercial possibilities of all things "alternative" grows, many record companies look towards punk's glory days of the late 70's and the mid-80's for divine inspiration.
Towards that end, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, a hard-working octet from Boston, snugly fit the niche. They borrowed from England's Two-Tone movement (which punkified ska, an off-shoot of reggae), and from Los Angeles' punk-funk stew (which produced such hybrid-happy acts as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone). Yet while the Bosstones wear these influences on their collective sleeve, they are still creatures of their surroundings, and what exemplifies QUESTION THE ANSWERS is the group's ability to personalize the music and not overstep the boundaries of their knowledge.
Songs like "A Sad Silence"--a ...
| | Midfield General On The Floor At The Boutique, Vol. 3 CD (2000)
Only Yazoo: The Best Of album
$12.79
2000 compilation featuring Gwen McRae, Just Ice, Bumpy Knuckles, Mulder, Prisoners of Technology, Lo Fidelity Allstars, Supper Collider, & more. Skint.
It takes a lot of courage to stick to your guns after the world says you're wrong. Here, with the third installment of Skint Records' On the Floor at the Boutique series, Midfield General (aka Damian Harris) hunkers down, goes to the decks, and metaphorically plants a plaque on the stage that says, "Big Beat is dead. Long live Big Beat." Because instead of relying on the overused and mind-numbingly predictable set of big beat "rules" (i.e., famous breakbeat + amusing sample = success), this latest installment goes from hip-hop to jungle to French house to old-school soul so effortlessly that one instantly feels ashamed for ever counting out such a delightfully unpretentious subgenre. In a way, Harris has created a turning point in big beat. The first and most surprising aspect of this effort? It actually takes its time. Starting with a handful of relative underground hip-hop shouts, the beats ...
