Dieter Meier - The Ritual

| Dieter Meier - The Ritual |
Not many of you will instantly
recognise the name of 69 year old Swiss musician Dieter Meier when written down
on paper but it's not your fault, don't worry. If I was to mention the film
Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the phrase "Bom Bom,
Chick.....Chick-ah-Chick-ahhhhh" then I'm hoping you won't assume I'm
mental and will realise that Dieter is one half of 80s electro pioneers Yello.
Whether you remember him or not, he's back with a free download for you in the
shape of 'The Ritual' which finds our hero in reflective mood to say the least.
A slow, funereal beat opens the song up before a hollow piano line creeps in
and Meier's deep, life-soaked voice washes over the airwaves. This is,
bizarrely, more like Johnny Cash or Nick Cave than anything with a more
uplifting lilt that you might have expected. Certainly worth a download though
and an intriguing salvo from the forthcoming album.
