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.

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?

Wasn't me.
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.

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

Or something.
