Yello - Flag
I remember the first time I heard The Race was at a hi-fi show at the Penta hotel on an Audio Innovations valve system. It sounded awesome, not only for the great music but also for the incredibly dynamic sound and vivid stage they had achieved. This was truly a demonstration disc that has stood the test of time, musically. I love it all, from their mad monotonic and processed vocal delivery to the huge detail and attention to production - all this in 1988. Oh, by the way, the dynamics are stupendous and the bass is quite something, too. Mostly, it's about electronic music made with fun and not a little skill from a pair of Swiss loons of the best kind.
Start with Tied Up as it contains the best of their style and work up to The Race, but make sure you play it LOUD. It's worth it!
This is a release where the original vinyl pressing is much better sounding than the CD, so scour the charity shops and pick yourself up a copy.
For further listening, try Touch and Toy, both superb albums, too.
