Free Music Notes for Solid Pleasure
Free Music Review: Superb debut from one of New Wave's most eccentric bands
Hit: 5 Stars
Yello doesn't get much weirder than they did on their first two records. Claro Que Si, and it's predecessor Solid Pleasure, are both rich with outlandish soundscapes and musical ideas. If you've never heard Yello before "Oh Yeah" then you're sure to be in a shock hearing the band's earliest material.
The creative interaction between these two men makes for an intriguing musical juxtaposition. If Boris Blank seems intent on conjuring otherworldly sound effects, it's lyricist/ vocalist Dieter Mier who keeps matters down to Earth with character studies in the lamenting loser study of "Bimbo" and "Rock Stop". "Bananas to the Beat" is pure goofball fun.
Side One of Solid Pleasure (I still think of this as the cassette copy I used to own) is a suite of sorts of miniature pieces stitched together like the second side of The Beatles' Abbey Road. This section contains some freakishly dark ambient moments ("Magneto", "Massage", "Assistant's Cry"), as well as some slick dance tracks ("Night Flanger" and "Bostich").
Unlike most re-releases that tack on ho-hum bonus material, the bonus tracks to this remastered edition are all welcome additions that deserve repeat listens. "Thrill Wave" and "Smirak's Train" are two selections from a movie soundtrack that would have fit quite nicely placed in the above mentioned ambient suite. There's also an extended mix of "Bostich" that is much superior to the slight album version. "Gluehead" is simply one of the most insane Yello tracks I've heard.
The CD comes in a digipak case with a booklet of lyrics, band photos, video stills, and various album art and memorabilia from this time period.
Favorite tracks: "Night Flanger", "Magneto", "Blue Green", "Bostich"
Final rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
