2009 album from the Swiss Electronic duo. Yello are, without doubt, one of the most influential bands in the wide and open context of Electronic music. From their earliest incarnation as slick Swiss guys with a strange back story making very odd Disco, their music has permeated everything from comedy films to contemporary art installations. But the rhythm of Yello's music is just one side to their cube. Sonics, emotion, and visual elements are all equally important, something more than demonstrated on new concept album Touch Yello. Coming at the end of a decade that has seen the group focusing on myriad projects, of which music was only one, the cinematic Touch Yello is still Yello in every sense of the word. Guest vocalist Heidi Happy weaves her voice through the panpipes and electronic moaning on 'Takla Makan', but the quality of the samples and arrangements stop this album from ever becoming a pastiche. Polydor.
