Unusual, but one my favourite albums.......2002-08-03

I can understand that other Yello fans say that this CD is one of their worst. But still I like this album very much. The songs here are very different from other of Yello's albums. Boris Blank has mixed techno and jazz, sometimes he has succeded (How How, Night Train, Fat Cry, Tremendous Pain and Move Dance Be Born) and sometimes he has failed (Suite 904 and S.A.X.). The vocals are very good ("I'm walking down town keep lookin' around...") and sometimes they save the songs from being bad. Do It is only good because of the power in the vocals. The Premix (How How) is good because of the lyrics that are the same as in the original How How. The best songs on this album are the ones without the jazz - Night Train, Fat Cry and Tremendous Pain. SAX is bad (and I mean really bad) and I...I'm in Love is somewhat OK, thanks to the vocals. Suite 904 could have been better.

Yello releases another Pristine Caliber Album with "Zebra"........2000-12-21

Being a fan of pop/techno music all my life, Yello is the only group out of the crop that I never get tired of listening to. And "Zebra" is another example of their work that strays away from "mainstream pop". From the opening song "Suite 909" the acoustics Boris Blank uses are memorizing in every tune. He has a unique talent for succussfully mixing jazz & techno (as well as other genres) together as demonstrated in the the songs "S.A.X.", & "How, How". "Move, Dance, Be Born" is the highlight of the album. While techno has become generic in today's music era, Blank's music always bursts with orginality. "Night Train", "Tremendous Pain" and "Fat Cry" are the only tracks I found were weak. I can't seem to follow Deiter Meier's cryptic messages in his music. I'm more leniant to Blank's fasinating acoustics. Still, I strongly recommend this album for any Yello fan to add to his/her collection.

Yello goes techno!.......2000-08-12

After acquiring all of Yello's '80's albums that are readily available in the US, I got "Zebra" for Christmas 1995. My ears were freaking out! I couldn't believe how drastically different this album sounds compared to what you hear on "Essential" and everything else Yello has done in the past. But "Zebra" proves that when the musical times changed, so did Yello. Don't you just want to get up and shake your booty with "Move, Dance, Be Born" or "Do It" or even "S.A.X."?

Masters of Electronic do their spin on House Music.......2000-07-16

This album came at a time when techno-house was being force fed to me. I bought this album simply because it was the new Yello album and found an arsenal of superior tunes to unleash on the tribal ravers. What is so refreshing is that Yello left their weird tendencies behind to make a masterful clever cool grove sound.

splendido capolavoro new wave technopop.......1999-10-25

consigliatissimo come colonna sonora di rapresentazioni grafiche con cadenze ritmiche quasi ossesive. artisticamente ineccepibile x gli amanti del genere. preconfigura gia alcune sonorita che poi diventano patrimonio del jungle e dell acid jazz
