Anyone got Yello's latest album yet? Just wondering what you make of it. I won't get mine until late Jan but I'm hungering for it. Any thoughts on it would be very welcome.

I haven't heard it yet, Andrew, but I'm looking forward to it. Despite changing their style, they rarely disappoint.

Interesting - I never heard of them before but just had a preview listen to 'toy' and quite like the sound, though the Leonard Cohen sound-alike is a bit peculiar !
Which of their albums do you rate as the best ?

My very favourite is Pocket Universe. Most popular was Flag. I also really like Zebra. Others will undoubtedly have other choices, but anything from 1988 onwards will have similar vibes IMO.

I have the album and really like it with one exception, I am not to much of a fan of the lead singers voice, it grates after a while... the music on the other hand I love... certainly worth getting in my opinion.

Touch would have been my next choice. It's an album that still grows on me too. I can say the same about Motion Picture and The Eye.

I have played Toy a few times now and still think I prefer Touch overall... Track 3 on Toy (30,000) is very good though and reminds me a lot of their 80's stuff. Paul. |

Reviving an old thread here. I was the OP wanting to know if this album was any good. Well I went and bought the deluxe edition: 17 Yello tracks plus a 26 track marvel from Boris Blank. It's become my favourite album of all time and for the past few months I've played it more than the rest of my collection put together. I just love everything about the album. If you have any liking for Yello or electronica in general, you owe it to yourself to grab a listen to the deluxe version. Two of the four bonus tracks are mighty and I couldn't be without them. The Boris Blank album is utterly enthralling too. Top stuff, guys!

I think Toy is fantastic and have played it incessantly since I got it. I might have to go get the deluxe version now!

Toy has become one of my favourite Yello albums. Still can't get on with the voice though.

Convergence with Malia looks good, too.

The good news is that it also sounds very good.
