Yello - Bostich

If you're only semi-familiar with `80s Swiss electronic act Yello, it's probably from Oh Yeah, the tack which became the signature sound for Ferris Bueller's Day Off and later, Duffman. Yello is an odd band: two highly creative studio musicians who insist on making their own samples from live instruments, and Dieter Meier, a millionaire playboy turned singer because it suited him that day. Sonically they sort of bridge the gap between Art Of Noise and DEVO, with their albums being relentless playful ( we ran into their first full length LP from 1980 Solid Pleasure over the weekend, of which their first real club hit Bostich springs, which is why we posting this. Yello's first six albums have all been re-released recently and are well worth the cash if you should run across `em, they sound very fresh again.
