 Yello's sound is mainly characterised by unusual music samples, a heavy reliance on rhythm and Dieter Meier's dark voice.Yello makes heavy use of sampling in the construction of rhythm tracks, such as in "The Race" from 1988.Boris Blank has taken a couple of vocal turns; on "Swing" (from "You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess") and "Blazing Saddles" (from "Flag").
