You know what's wacky? It's so strange, that it works! Sure, 'Oh Yeah' is the centerpiece, and you'll want to surround your listening experience behind that, but there are some other tracks that make you think these guys are for real.
The arrangements on this album are so random, and some of the lyrics are just so strange, it's hard not to at least be intrigued and want to listen to more. They have twelve studio albums out, with this one dropping in 1985. Turns out there is a real band behind that nonsense, and they've been making music since 1979. You just knew it was the 'Oh Yeah' song, or the 'Chick, chicka chicka' song. Heck, even in their most well known feature - "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" - you probably had no clue who the band was. These guys have been sampled in music, TV and video games forever - but 9 times out of 10 you'd have no idea it was them. Oddly enough, that word is fairly commonplace nowadays for a phone greeting or any other initial contact setting. The name came when Dieter talking about "a yelled hello" which turned into the pun "Yello". Anything that he says basically sounds like he's a psychopath. Dieter is the vocal of the gang, and what can you say about them? When they do the manipulation technique such as 'Oh Yeah' - it's so dark and twisted. The reason I'm reviewing this album, is due to the smash hit 'Oh Yeah' which may not ring any immediate bells, but will as soon as you hear the sample.
Two men make up a Swiss electronica band - Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. I think I'm going to break this out into two pieces, just because there are different elements to this band that make them so strange. But this one my friends, is about as odd as it gets. Have a done some "odd" reviews that weren't super out there? Sure. Strange music? Yeah, there is a ton out there.
