| | Yello Claro Que Si CD Yello Discography of CDs
Another leap in musical sophistication made Yello's second album another high point in the development of synth pop. The future of Euro-disco and dance-pop are easily audible from the opening "Daily Disco" and other tracks like "Pinball Cha Cha," "The Evening's Young," and "Cuad el Habib." Though Claro Que Si is slightly more pop-oriented than the group's debut, with Boris Blank's electronics just as innovative and obtuse as before, that's hardly a step backward. ~ John Bush
Yello made almost made techno-noir an early-'80s catchphrase, but their music was too adventurous, even for the hardcore techno aesthetes of that decade. CLARO QUE SI, the follow-up to the enigmatic SOLID PLEASURE, revels more in the dance floor, and begins the logical progression towards the arch-synthpop Yello would champion years later.
Many of the tracks here are arcane classics of the form: the weird and zippy "Daily Disco," probably best experienced in a club on Saturn; the mutant beatbox antics and shuffling, factory-bred electronics of "The Evening's Young," sporting one of Dieter Meier's most evocative, Grand Guignol vocals; and the backward loops of "The Lorry," Meier spitting out his words into a soup of metallic strings and tungsten-scored electronics. Just about as indispensable as SOLID PLEASURE, especially if your toes are set for tappin'.

Purchase Claro Que Si CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Australia
Claro Que Si
 $23.75
Kaleidoscope World is the Chills' essential document, a collection of tracks from early and mid-'80s EPs, singles, and compilation cuts. The influence of Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd is stronger on these early tracks than it would be on subsequent releases, both on the easygoing sing along numbers and the more experimental outings. The highlight (of both the album and the Chills' career) is their New Zealand hit single, the haunting 'Pink Frost'.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"

| | Yello Solid Pleasure CD (1980) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Digipak
Claro Que Si
$10.59
The most varied and accomplished of any synth pop debut, Yello's first album presents a few irresistible pop songs (the hit "Bostich," plus "Bimbo" and "Eternal Legs"), Boris Blank's synthesizer interpretations of several different forms of music ("Downtown Samba," "Bananas to the Beat," "Rock Stop," "Coast to Polka"), ...
| | Yello Stella CD (1985) (Import) United Kingdom
Claro Que Si
$9.85
Yes, Stella is the album that includes Yello's biggest hit, "Oh Yeah." It's also their best single LP, an excellent production throughout by Boris Blank, from the theatric instrumentals "Stalakdrama" and "Ciel Ouvert" to the frenetic pitched percussion on "Let Me Cry." As well, Dieter Meier proves he's at his best vocally, whether it's the seamy side of life on "Desert Inn" or an exaggerated leer for "Koladi-ola." Both hit their peak on the same album, and Stella is a complete joy for ...

Additional Tracks
Yello: Dieter Meier (vocals); Boris Blank (various instruments)
Additional personnel: Carlos Peron, Chico Hablas (guitar); Beat Ash (drums).
German release features six bonus tracks.
The seeds of Euro-dance sown on Claro Que Si reached fruition on Yello's next record, naturally titled You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess. There are fewer novelty synth tracks than before, those being replaced by a series of sleazy, deep-throated vocals on "I Love You," "Lost Again," "Heavy Whispers," and the title track. There are also a few exercises in worldbeat synth pop, with heavy percussion on the title track as well as the closing number, "Salut Mayoumba." Though Blank's production doesn't sound as consistently innovative ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Claro Que Si
$22.35 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. "Hot Summers Day" is a fine example of that, a beautiful song that could offset ...

| | Guerrilla Jukebox Vol. 1 CD (2003)
Claro Que Si
$7.49
The infamous Tee Pee Records has proudly been releasing high-octane rock & roll, neo-'70s metal experiments, and THC-laced stoner music since 1995. Guerrilla Jukebox, Vol.1 is a testament to the label's lofty ideals, featuring 18 tracks from veterans, newcomers, and future rockers, all for a budget price of around eight dollars. It's insane how heavy some of these songs are. Atomic Bitchwax, Nebula, Hermano, and Bad Wizard all channel the glory days of '70s sludge and metal, collectively resembling what it would sound like to punch the buttons on an AM radio in a hellbound 1972 Plymouth Duster. The cowpunk of Little Better and Highstrung helps the flow of this compilation, offering a lull from the chugging riffs and harmonized guitars of Gibson Flying V enthusiasts like Boulder. But just when it was thought that it ...
