Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Yaz (proper name Yazoo) created some of the most catchy and enjoyable pop synth songs of the 1980s. Vince Clarke's mastery of synthesis and songwriting has really blossomed after Yazoo with the formation of erasure, but there is both simplicity and a great pop/blues fusion in the combination of Vince's music and Alison Moyet's vocals that makes Yazoo's two albums timeless.
This release is a live recording of a tour that should have happened 25 years ago and fans who so desperately wanted to see the band live never got that chance as they split before they could tour after their second album. In 2008, for one tour only, fans were treated to the chance to see Yazoo reunite and Reconnected Live captures that experience perfectly.
Tracks like Too Pieces and Midnight have reworked synth parts that breathe new life into these classic songs. Alison's voice remains strong and the combination of her gritty-to-smooth vocals and Vince's melodies that never leave your head is still a match that is truly unique and a must-have for anyone who loves 80s pop music.
If you like Depeche Mode and erasure and you love live performances, this is a must-have album.
Note there is a previously unreleased Yazoo song called Get Set that is very good and is now available as a download from another music store. If you're a Yazoo/Yaz fan, you need Get Set.
