After writing most of Depeche Mode's debut album, SPEAK AND SPELL,
Vince Clarke left that band and hooked up with singer/pianist
Alison Moyet, whose booming, soulful, R&B-inflected voice could
not have been more different from that of Depeche Mode's Dave
Gahan. The combination of Moyet's incredible voice and Clarke's
electronic pop songs gave Yaz (known as Yazoo outside the US) a
unique sound that lasted far beyond its brief lifespan. In fact,
this 1999 compilation was actually spurred by the success of a
popular television commercial featuring its lovely ballad "Only
You." Combining the best parts of the duo's two albums, 1982's
UPSTAIRS AT ERIC'S and 1983's YOU AND ME BOTH, with a couple of new
remixes, this collection is most notable for including the superior
single mix of the dance club classic "Situation." A fine
introduction to an influential act.
