incredibly moody and peculiar for an album by a "pop" band, this! Claro que Si is one of Yello's earliest albums, released on the Residents' Ralph record label for a reason, it retains a touch of the alien - the whole album is saturated in peculiar (and, at the time, maybe revolutionary and astounding) synth noises, sculpted into one perfectly catchy tune after another. unlike Kraftwerk, Yello do not shed their sense of playful rhythm, nor their cultural attachment to nearby forms of music. much more of a world record than the dull Computerwelt from the same year!
