| | Yello You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess CD - Import Yello Discography of CDs
Yello were right on the cusp of greatness when YOU GOTTA SAY YES hit the bins. They had already separated from their indie roots by moving over from Ralph to the high-profile Mercury Records, and their music was becoming something of an underground cult in clubs and on stereos worldwide. Looking at the track's titles, one might think that Yello had lost their idiosyncratic sting while opting for commercial acceptance.
Bite your tongue--when Dieter Meier sings "I Love You," his voice is acerbic, mocking, and dripping with irony as the weird, bubbling electronics percolate over a faux-disco beat. If anything, the rhythm tracks are somewhat more standardized, but Peron and Blank hadn't lost their ability to surprise. They seem to call upon a seemingly bottomless array of bizarre samples, murky re-filtered synth sounds and a cadre of otherworldly electronics the ear has failed to hear, such as the strange pomp-beats and curdling synth-horns of "Lost Again," the spooky samba of "Great Mission," and the pumping android funk of the title track.
German release features six bonus tracks.
Additional Tracks
Yello: Dieter Meier (vocals); Boris Blank (various instruments)
Additional personnel: Carlos Peron, Chico Hablas (guitar); Beat Ash (drums).
Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "With tracks becoming more crisper and more forceful, 1983's YOU GOTTA SAY YES TO ANOTHER EXCESS was where Yello's blend of surrealism and pop exotica was most successfully realised."

$10.45 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 ...

You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess
$14.45 Yello jumped feet-first into Latin American waters with the zippy FLAG. Much of this recording is an epileptic rush of massed congas, shakers, thumping beat boxes, chorused voices and, of course, Boris Blank's endless supply of electronics. Dieter Meier contributes the lion's share of voices--he has an incredible variety of them in store, alternating from fierce falsettos to throaty suggestiveness with ease, his abilities easily the equal of Blank's instrumental virtuosity.
Look to the cheeky guitar bits, fibrillating rhythms and massed ...

$10.59 When SOLID PLEASURE first hit the racks in the early 1980s (on the Residents' very own Ralph Records label), few were prepared. The bizarre trio, comprising electronics maven Boris Blank, guitarist/sound sampler Carlos Peron, and Swiss wacko Dieter Meier, was a breath of fresh air in the moribund synth-pop scene. Opening with the ping-pong analog funk of "Bimbo," an utterly original panoply of sounds ran throughout ...
