Recorded 1980 at Yello Studio and Platinum One Studio.

Solid Pleasure is the debut album from Swiss electronic duo Yello. It was first released in 1980 and was reissued in 2005 in part of Yello Remaster Series with rare bonus tracks.



The most varied and accomplished of any synth pop debut, Yello's first album presents a few irresistible pop songs (the hit "Bostich," plus "Bimbo" and "Eternal Legs"), Boris Blank's synthesizer interpretations of several different forms of music ("Downtown Samba," "Bananas to the Beat," "Rock Stop," "Coast to Polka"), and even a three-song suite of atmospheric industrial music that functions as a miniature invisible soundtrack. The dark lyrical concerns and futurist electronics immediately lifted Yello above the rut of Kraftwerk imitators.

John Bush - All Music Guide



Hugely influential on the dance and electronic music that came after them, Yello also have the distinction of being the best band ever from Switzerland. Their 1981 debut is the first of six albums newly remastered and expanded. Operating between pop, dance and a deliciously self-aware kind of avant garde, Yello paralleled the artful-yet-playful moves of New York's Ze Records, while also evoking an elegant European sensibility familiar in part because of Kraftwerk. Rare is the album wherein post-punk spunk, samba, polka, soundtracks and marching bands collide: Solid Pleasure combines them with a mixture of presumptuous eccentricity and sophisticated camp. Of the others, Flag has the Race, their only major UK hit. Shame on u
