Subject: (yello) Re: Art Of Noise, Other Recommendations

This thread has inspire me to burn a compilation cd of Yello=20
recommendations. I'll post when it's finished.
=20
I must agree that Art of Noise and Yello have a very similar overall=20
feel, and strongly recommend any of their output from the 80's to a=20
Yello fan. I'm very disappointed in 'Seduction of Claude Debussy',=20
however. Not nearly so innovative as most of their stuff. I recommend=20
'In Visible Silence' (my fav), 'In No Sense? Nonsense!', or 'Daft' =
which=20
encompasses their works on ZTT label. 'The Ambient Collection'=20
remixed by the Orb and Youth is a great remix CD that is very true to=20
the original works. 'The Drum 'n Bass Collection' is also a good remix=20
CD, though fairly intrusive to the source material. 'FON Mixes' sucks.=20
I'm trying to sell my copy.=20
=20
To repeat an earlier post, I also recommend Juno Reactor's 'Bible Of=20
Dreams'. The first time I heard this CD I immediately thought, "is=20
this Yello?". They site Yello as a major influence. They use some live=20
percussion and on one track 'Swamp Thing', they have a raging guitar.
Reminds me of 'Si Senor, The Hairy Grill' and 'Domingo'.=20
=20
The Grid has track by the same name, and Dieter does some vocals=20
for the Grid on their '456' CD. It's not bad, but not one of my strong=20
recommendations.
=20
I'm on a roll so I'll spew some more recommendations.
=20
OMD: Architecture And Morality. Their early output was very=20
interesting and experimental, but they migrated to pure pop. Avoid=20
anything post '88. Their first self-title recording is very primitive, =
like=20
early DEVO. 'Organization' and 'Dazzle Ships' get a high Yello-
recommendation. 'Junk Culture', 'Crush', and 'Pacific Age' are good=20
pop CD's but not very Yello-ish.
=20
Brian Eno: Nerve Net. He's been doing experimental electronic music=20
for 3 decades now and knows a thing or two. 'Nerve Net' is my=20
recommendation for a Yello fan to start exploring Eno's huge library.
=20
Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams, Touch, and 1984, though a bit poppy,=20
they have lots of innovative synthetics.
=20
Fact 22: Biographic Hum. If you can find it give it a try.
=20
Underworld: Second toughest in the infants. An incredible CD. My=20
standing fav.
=20
Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine. Not nearly as abrasive as NIN's
other releases, it is still angry. This cd is full of lush manipulated=20
sound environments. If you like Yello's 'Domingo', 'Si Senor, The Hairy=20
Grill', 'Tied Up In Gear'... you should give this one a try.
=20
Alphaville: Forever Young. A great synth production. A few dark=20
moody Yello-ish tracks in with the pop. Dieter did video work with=20
Alphaville.

You should also include the following group, when putting together a
collection:

Ozric Tentacles.

Any of their CD's are good, although Erpland or Pungent Effulgent are two
strong starters.
Despite their collection being described as more a sort of "hippie" music as
my less educated friends tend to refer to them, I feel that they possess THE
best synthesizer music today, performed in an interesting style which is all
their own  ;-)

I was fairly skeptical when initially told about them, however, I have since
picked up almost every CD and LP they have released.  As with Yello, there is
a considerable amount of material, also going back quite a long time.  Hope
you enjoy it as much as I have.
