Yello – Point | Blu-ray Dolby Atmos

Blu-ray · Dolby Atmos · Limited edition

Dieter Meier and Boris Blank have been making music together for forty years, with no trace of veteran wisdom.
«Point» was made exactly like the thirteen albums before it and like «Oh Yeah», «The Race» or «The Rhythm Divine».

How a Yello record is made

Blank works in his studio like a sound painter, with hundreds of thousands of stored beats, melody fragments and solos that he combines in ever new compositions. When there are sixty or seventy «paintings», they choose what to send to the «exhibition». Then Meier sits down at his Hermes «Baby» typewriter and types the lyrics.

After the floating atmospheres of «Toy», with «Point» Yello are back on solid ground. «Waba Duba» sets the playful tone, «Peter Strong» tells the story of a man who vanished, «Arthur Spark» blends nonsense words, dance beats and melancholy, «Big Boy's Blues» is a mutant blues with Meier in Leonard Cohen mood, «Hot Pan» both evokes and subverts the spaghetti western, «Rush for Joe» features a great trombone solo, and Chinese singer Fifi Rong closes with a song about boundless love.
