Yello is a Swiss electronic band that was formed in 1979 in Zürich, Switzerland. Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music, Yello quickly gained recognition in the electronic music scene. However, in 1983, Carlos Peron decided to part ways with the band.
Inspired by artists such as The Art Of Noise, Propaganda, and Kraftwerk, Yello has carved out their own distinct style that blends elements of pop, dance, and experimental music. Their captivating melodies and catchy beats have earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide.
With influences ranging from Ultravox to Jean-Michel Jarre, Yello continues to push boundaries and experiment with new sounds. Their contributions to the electronic music genre are undeniable and they remain an influential force in the industry today.

The legendary electronic duo Yello celebrate their 40th anniversary with a comprehensive retrospective. Yell40 Years by Dieter Meier and Boris Blank is not a common best of with the typical songs like “The Race”, “Oh Yeah” or the groundbreaking “Bostich”, but more a place for all the pearls of their discography that have always stood for the Yello sound cosmos, but never really received the spotlight that they deserve. Songs like the everlasting fan favourite “I Love You”, the eccentric “Rubberbandman” or the Mellow YELLO classic “Desire” – the stylistic range of the Zurich originals have always known no limits. With detailed liner notes and visual impressions of the last four decades, 40 Years is a must-have for all lovers of the special electronic sounds made in Switzerland.

4CD - The limited 4CD hardcover book version also contains a retrospective A Wider Shade Of Yello curated by Boris Blank, on which mainly the “mellow” and not immanently obvious Yello pieces were brought together, whereas on the fourth bonus CD favourite remixes of the past 40 years have been compiled. Some of them have been completely unpublished so far, including by DJ luminary DJ Hell and the former Factory Records representative, author and filmmaker Mark Reeder.
