5.0 out of 5 stars #1 of all my CDs, April 16, 2003

By	Alex Bottinelli "AlexHorseman" (Tulsa, OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a Yello fan since 1984, and I admitt, when I first listened to this CD I was not impressed... because it just didn't sound like "typical" Yello. But I gave it a chance... and very quickly, it became my favorite album in my collection of 1000+ CDs. I bought the album three years ago, and it STILL is my favorite album. Elegant, dark, almost EVIL, the music will steal your soul and hold it captive until you can work up the strength to turn it off. Play it loud with a strong sub-woofer... you'll never come back.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Yello fans and newcomers alike, November 10, 2005

By	TBo (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Yello has been chugging along consistently ever since their debut on Ralph Records with Solid Pleasure. They have been setting the standard for audio mixing and production ever since. This recording moves into some new territory for Yello with regard to composition, but the production is mind-boggling. They just keep getting better at producing sounds that vibrate holographically. This is a great recording for newcomers to the group. Lots of seductive high energy dance grooves and lots of different moods.....and a sense of humor!

4.0 out of 5 stars Criminally ignored duo make music for aliens,HUMANS TAKE NOTICE!, February 1, 2006

By	Jim Reed "Jim Reed" (New York) - See all my reviews

Known by most listeners for their 80's hit Oh Yeah this group has been making cool creative music for years and Pocket Universe is no exception.After a brief introduction about the big bang and aliens the cd launches into sci-fi dance club heaven.Dieter Meier's vocals blend with throbbing beats,quirky touches,catchy melodies all climaxing with the spastic heart attack inducing Resistor.Like most of Yello's music it's not quite normal but given all the bland dance tunes around nowadays that's a good thing.
