    Well, I haven't seen them live, but apparently they're very good
    considering they use a lot of tapes and sequencers.  A new album,
    `The Flag' is due out soon(ish) and is meant to be a return to the
    original raw Yello sound, as Deiter Meiyer (The vocalist of the two,
    I think that's how you spell his name) said that their last records
    were getting too planned out.  Strange thing for a totally synthetic
    group to say, but you can tell the difference between earlier stuff
    like `Claro Que Si' and recent albums like `One Second'.
    
    I'd recommend Yello to anybody.  Living proof that boppy doesn't
    mean bland.  If anybody actually want's to take up my recommendation
    then I suggest the compilation album `80-85 in one go'

    	Lee.

    Well, not really, but from what I can remember theres:
    
    Claro Que Si
    You've gotta say yes to another Excess
    One Second
    Stella
    80-85 in one go
    
    and soon, the new album, `The Flag'
    
    The singles `The Race', `Oh yeah' and one that they did with Shirley
    Bassey which name escapes me now are all available on CD single
    as well.

    		'Solid Pleasure'
    
    	I can confirm that 'YELLO 1980-1985 The New Mix In One Go'
        is pretty damn good.
