Not sure if you're joking, but it's an early 80's synthpop band started by Vince Clarke after he left Depeche Mode, with Alison Moyet on vocals. If you're a fan of DM's Speak & Spell, it's worth checking out.

Know as Yazoo over here…

That's right... I believe the japanese pressing I got has them as Yazoo as well. The MOFI Upstairs At Eric's (which sounds great) is under Yaz IIRC.

Yeah they were set up as Yazoo but I think there was some weird reason why they had to change it to Yaz in North America.

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

My intro to Yaz came through The Americans…
That show made some excellent musical selections throughout its run.

As a technical director I'd like to hear more about this "throwing computers out the window" thing. It's giving me tingles.

Talk to James Murphy, I have yet to (purposefully) destroy a computer.

What season opened with the action soundtracked by Tusk? That scene stuck with me over the years.

I wanna say that was the first episode pilot. That is one of the best musical action sequences ever.

Oh damn, that was the pilot! I was sure it came later in the series, it's so vivid in my mind. Amazing sequence.
(Considering I have both Yaz and Tusk in my recent Japanese order, I wonder how many more records from that order were on The Americans, and how much of a subconscious effect it's had on me over the years...
)Soooo good! My wife even commented on how good the music selections were and she rarely does that.

You don’t have to worry about me, haha! Their shipping charges to the US of $18 for the first record and $5 for each additional record just add up much too fast (and too high) for my liking, so I’ll be sticking with Record City. What costs me about $15-16 to ship from RC would cost $38 from Ella.

It even introduced me to a kick ass country song, which was not something I was expecting at all.

Cross-post from pre-order thread bc the sound quality on Air is worthy of this thread.
For ambient fans, Pete Namlook’s ”Silence 1” (released under the artist name “Silence”) is being reissued by Silent State with 500 copies.
Shipping to the US is expensive, but I can confirm that Silent State’s 2021 reissue of Namlook’s “Air” is absolutely phenomenal -- gorgeous sound and package, and shipping was $$$ for that, too. BUT, as you can see, it’s easy to get one’s money back on that one, as the current low price on Discogs for AIR is $165.
