Just like across the Tasman, here in New Zealand it's unheard and definitely has no presence in charts.
You see what I mean? Nobody pays attention to the decent music around that doesn't see the importance in just conforming to the crappy mainstream. All they want is the latest Avril Lavigne CD; 15 tracks of that stupid cow bitching about her boyfriend, screaming obscenities and practically asking for a fan of decent music to come and kill her. That's all people want to hear!
I'm not interested in music released after 1989 (from any band) so I wouldn't buy Yello's new CD even if it was over here in England. I'd stick to their 80's releases like Solid Pleasure (1980) and Claro Que Si (my year of birth and favourite year, 1981). But I haven't seen it. I heard it only got released over in Germany and Switzerland. Perhaps the Germans can handle originality unlike the people over here! Yeah, over here it's just about the mainstream!
Best regards,
