小简介

Yaz在英国又被称作Yazoo，乐队的成员有两位，女歌手Alison Moyet和创作兼演奏乐Vince Clarke。乐队是合成器流行乐（Synch－Pop）的主要乐队之一，从一定意义上来说，乐队是Clarke的个人乐队，Moyet的唱功虽然出色，但乐队的风格始终在Clarke的掌握之中。Clarke是合成器流行乐班霸Depeche Mode的早年成员，在后者出版了首张专辑后离队，在Yaz解散后他又组建了Erasure，在音乐上过分偏向于流行化。

Yazoo (known in the U.S. as Yaz) was a short-lived but quite successful synth-dance duo from the early '80s. Comprised of synthesizer player Vince Clarke and singer Alison Moyet, the group formed in 1981, after Clarke left Depeche Mode (Clarke had penned almost all of Depeche Mode's debut album, Speak & Spell, including their early dancefloor hit "I Just Can't Get Enough"), and Moyet had recently exited an obscure R&B cover band, the Screaming Abdabs. The newly formed group scored a hit right off the bat with the single "Only You" b/w "Situation," which hit number two on the U.K. charts in April of 1982, and shortly thereafter, scored another big hit with "Don't Go" (which would become their best-known track stateside as its promo video enjoyed airtime on the newly formed MTV). Yazoo's commercial winning streak continued with their debut full-length, Upstairs at Eric's, which hit number two on the U.K. album charts (eventually going platinum in England) and opened the door to countless other synth-dance bands that would soon follow in Yazoo's wake. But despite a promising career ahead of them, Yazoo opted to call it a day after one more full-length recording, 1983's You and Me Both. Moyet would go on to launch a solo career immediately after Yazoo's split (scoring a major hit with her solo debut, 1984's Alf, which topped the charts and spawned several hit singles), while Clarke would go on to form another synth-based outfit, Erasure, with singer Andy Bell. Although Yazoo issued only a pair of albums during a brief career together, a 15-track "hits" collection was assembled in 1999, The Best of Yaz.
