Veteran Swiss electro duo’s
immaculately tailored 14th.
Civilians will know Dieter Meier
(voice) and Boris Blank (sounds) best
for 1985’s rubbery Oh Yeah. But for
40 years they’ve been distilling an
addictive blend of Dada-esque synth-
pop. Point finds the mat the more
glamorously shadowed end of their
oeuvre,with their skittering rhythms
and machine-refined cineram as
building a virtual city of casinos
and crime scenes to get lost in. All
core virtues of sonic and narrative
particularity are in evidence – see
how The Vanishing Of Peter Strong
alights at the Zürich branch of David
Lynch’s Red Room– and fans will be
pleased by how often spectres of
vintage glories flit by, as when
Spinning My Mind echoes ’80s
triumph Goldrush. Yello’s uniqueness
remains absolute.★★★★
