In fairness, time travelled quite quickly while it was playing but it did feel like about three songs and a load of padding.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Splash" and really should've been on the album. If you care to listen to it I'm sure you'll agree. Awesome use of proper disco drum on the fade-out.VIDEO

What's more, I feel that Yello need to be held in higher esteem by the hoi polloi.
They were and are a significant and significantly odd and idiosyncratic band hailing from a significantly dull and idiosyncratically dreary country.
Perhaps various Wendigans may find their later elpees more engaging?

When I were a lad, in the late 80s, to early 90s I loved all that arty post-punk stuff, as it all seemed to have come from a million years ago, Joy Division in 1991 could have been like Buddy Holly record.
Anyway, this was fine, and I would have loved it when I was 17, but now in 2014, the lightweight Krautrock/Postpunk stuff feels a bit well, been there, done that. For me.
They sounded at the best when they sounded like yello, that one that sounded like a lo-fi The Race.

Bombin'!
I love the wacky syn-drum-improvZ 2:08 - 3:08.
