Like many great artists, I’m not sure Boris really knows how great he actually is. But we do. Thank you, Boris.
-
Yello albums have some of the finest production quality I've ever listened to and Boris Blank should be lauded for that. I had the pleasure of meeting Dieter Meier at an album signing at HMV in Manchester. Not many bands can truly be called "influential" but Yello are one of them.
-
These guys and Art of Noise were the most subversive and amazing music of my youth.
-
I’m nearly 70 and really love their music and videos.
-
What a genius and an absolute pleasure to hear him speak about his process. He and Meier are so important to modern electronic music.
-
Boris is a living legend! Thank you!
-
I met a man when I worked in Switzerland in 1990 that knew Boris and he said he wasn't really a proficient musician by any standard but created sounds on the fly. I always wondered if this was true, 30 years later this is confirmed by Boris himself. Well done Boris, you are one creative genius 🙂
-
I've been following Boris and Dieter since I heard 'Oh Yeah' in 1985. Such refreshing and unique artists.
-
1982 I heard "Bostich" for the first time and was immediately flashed. Wow! What a track! Boris is a genius. "Live at the Roxy" is one of my vinyl treasures. And I absolutely love "Ciel Ouvert"!
-
I'm just happy he and Dieter are still bringing so much whimsy into the world through their music.
-
What a treat to see the 'quiet man' speak!
-
He speaks!! Been listening to this guy for 40 years. Timeless toons.
-
I got into these two geniuses in about 1982 when BBC Radio 1 DJ David "Kid" Jensen played their masterpiece single "I love you" on his evening show. Loved them ever single. I recommend the album "The new mix in one go" along with all their earlier stuff.
-
Boris seems like the kind of guy you'd happily share a martini or two with on a sunny afternoon.
-
Always been a fairly ignored but great band. I couldn't believe it when I heard Oh Yeah on Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I liked that he had a Caberet Voltaire poster on his wall too. Ferris had good taste.
-
Oh Yeah is the perfect soundscape, that's for sure. I have a lot of Yello Albums and listen to them once in awhile, enjoying them, really loving Tiger Dust, or Si Senor, the hairy grill… and so many others, but when O Yeah comes along, it sure is something special. Every time.
-
First heard the music of Yello when I saw "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and heard "Oh Yeah." Been a fan ever since.
-
There are no others like THOSE GUYS. Pure life transformed into sound , unrepeatable.
-
Oh Yeah is a track on the album Stella. If you like Oh Yeah, you must listen to Stella. Every track is as brilliant and as distintive as Oh Yeah.
-
Thank you Yello for being there through my own transition period....being uncool back then for liking music like Yello. Then thirty years later as a dj to currently hosting 2 radio shows and years throughout radio.... to being respected today for liking Yello as a trail blazer. Great role models, teachers and visionaries.
