4.0 out of 5 stars And then there was YEllO, July 16, 2000

By	S P Brady (Rehoboth Beach, DE United States) - See all my reviews

An album so good I dropped all of their contemporaries (Residents, Snakefinger). This album flows well, it takes you out there and then back with songs like Downtown Samba and Night Flanger. This is real pioneer work and therefore not all palatable like the latter stuff. However, I feel this one is the key to understanding the dynamics of all the other albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Apt title, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

Many of the pioneers of electronic pop have been acknowledged in the past few years, but nobody says much about Yello (at least in the U.S.). This record may not have been groundbreaking like Kraftwerk, but it is tremendously entertaining. It is eclectic, adventurous, and very funny. It has that smart/stupid dynamic that works so well for Fatboy Slim. I won't vouch for subsequent Yello records, but I just love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars the first is the best, June 15, 2001

By	"letsgetreal" (north vancouver ,canada) - See all my reviews

This debut album is their strangest and weirdest- it runs the gammut of styles from trippy psychedelia to pseudo-reggae. Their later releases were more popular but this album is definitely the most creative. Also check out Claro Que Si and other Ralph Records bands for ultimate strangeness.
