i actually own "you gotta say yes to another excess" figuring it would be as funky as the overplayed "oh yeah" track, but didn't like the album one bit. it does have great sonics, but there's really no funk to it. it's way too jazzy for my tastes. i hate jazz and it's incessant nonsense babbling. LOL i'd rather listen to the kingsmen barely playing "louie louie" any day.to anyone who DOES like the song "oh yeah", look the awesome electronic compilation called "dubnology" up. it's one of the few electronic compilations where every band doesn't sound like every other *thumpthumpthumpthump* band. to my ears, house, techno, jungle and breakbeat pretty much all sound the same. this collection has TONS of variety and came as a pleasant surprise at $16 for FOUR count em' four CDs.
there's a particular track called "um baby" in the collection that sounds like it could easily be a b-side to "oh yeah". there are easily a dozen tracks in the series that work for me.
there's everything from rootsy dub, to a haunting experimental a capella, to light industrial (read ACCESSIBLE) as well as tracks that have references to house etc. but way more flavorful and funky.
go to a site that lets you sample tracks and see for yourself.
yello seems a bit pretentious and self indulgent like the art of noise slowly devolved into to me. LOL maybe that's the point of "you gotta say yes to another excess" and i just didn't get it as i wanted to tap my toe.
