Album Notes & Community Reviews
Yello entirely revolutionized electronic pop production with 'Stella', an album driven almost entirely by the newly introduced Fairlight CMI sampler. The Swiss duo crafts highly rhythmic, incredibly lush synth-pop that bounds between surreal, playful humor and dark, mysterious electro-disco atmospheres. Propelled by the inescapable hit 'Oh Yeah', it is a mechanical, avant-garde pop masterpiece.
