- The Yellow Album is 2002's time warp back to the mid 80's - back when Arthur Baker worked with New Order to create Blue Monday and when he worked with Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force to produce the electro hip hop/miami bass spawning classic, Planet Rock.
A1 People's contribution to electro is more on a chilled techno/house tip (ala Chicken Lips) rather than chunky breakbeats (ala Krafty Kuts), however a few tracks such as Detroit Style show that A1 People are willing to embrace more uptempo styles of electro.
Standout tracks include Casio Rock which shows a bit of cheek using the same rhythm from the Sakata commercials; Crazy Electro Music is very retro in it's approach using arpeggio melody lines and has a nice build up about it; Detroit Style tells you to shake your ass in a detroit techno/miami bass style and The Whole Wide World is a mash up of Parliament style samples cut up on a freaky tech beat with Stephen Hawking like vocodered vocals scattered throughout.
Never heard electro before? This album might just be the introduction you need to an old style that seems to be making a slow resurgence nowadays. From intelligent trancey style beats to house tempo tracks that would fit well in a Felix Da Housecat set to uptempo Miami bass style tunes, The Yellow Album has it covered.
