Product Description

From Amazon.com

There was a time when you couldn't step into a dance club without hearing at least part of this recording booming over the sound system. The often over-played hit, "Situation," was a bubbling caldron of nasally synth noodlings, a whopping bass line, and drum machine wallops. Alison Moyet's looped laugh in the middle of the song ended up as a sample, over-used a thousand times over. Yaz was an interesting blend of Moyet's smoky blues and jazz tinged vocals with Vince Clarke's digital disco. Moyet's voice alone was instrument enough, and the melodies here perfectly showcased her incredible range. Upstairs easily moved between energetic dance floor exuberance ("Don't Go" and "Good-bye Seventies"), blues-inspired wailers ("Midnight"), and icy electronic minimalism ("Winter Kills"). It was an explosion of a debut, touching upon '80s gay disco, synth pop, and diva-ism in one fell swoop. The CD closes with the overlooked "Didn't I Bring Your Love Down," an infectious barn burner with a call/response break that blows the roof off of Eric's little techno-pop room. --Steve Gdula


Album Details

2008 digitally remastered reissue of the Synthpop duo's debut album coinciding with their reunion tour. Originally released in July '82, the album from former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke and vocalist Alison Moyet explored the pair's unusual potential to stunning effect. From the raunchy Synth Funk of 'Goodbye 70s' to the chilling darkness of 'Winter Kills', it was one of the most complete debut albums to have emerged throughout the decade as a whole, with the cover image of dismembered showroom dummies echoing the music's sense of dislocation from the standard pop formula. Features the hit singles 'Only You' and 'Don't Go'. Mute.

5.0 out of 5 stars 人生を変えた一枚, 2006/10/31
エレクトリック・ポップ黎明期のエレクトリック・ポップの1つの雛形。初期のシンセサイザーの音が満載で、パンチの効いたパワフルな女性ボーカルが乗る極めてポップなアルバム。「Only You」は名曲中の名曲なので是非聴いてみよう。Yazooもたったのアルバム2枚で解散。シンセ担当のヴィンスは、次なる相棒とErasureを結成。このデュオにて夢の続きを現在進行形だが、それでもYazooには私の中では敵わない。初期のdepeche Modeならあいこ。

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't go !!, 2004/11/18
クールでいてポップ、しかもソウルフルな歌声。今考えると奇跡のようなユニット。この頃ヴィンスは世界一のカシオトーン奏者とか言われていましたが、デペッシュにはなかったアリソンの声がはまったのでしょうね。いい曲いっぱい入っています。けっこうあきがこないかも。エレポップの名盤のひとつですね、これは。

5.0 out of 5 stars 偉容なジャケットに包まれた、ソウル+シンセ, 2001/6/14
デペッシュ・モードをドロップアウトしたヴィンス・クラークが、オーディションで見つけたアリソン・モイエと組んだヤズーのファーストアルバム。ソウルフルなモイエのボーカルと、ヴィンス特有のシンセサウンドが融合して独特な世界を生み出しています。名曲「オンリー・ユー」をはじめ、聴き応えのあるアルバムです。ジャケットの異様な雰囲気がその内容にとてもマッチしています。
