Высоким качеством отличался, пожалуй, лишь диск «Amarok», который содержал одну композицию часовой продолжительности в звучании и был записан с использованием экзотических инструментов.

Было бы странно, если бы славный швейцарский дуэт электронщиков на 41-м году существования вдруг занялся новациями - не этого от них ждали многочисленные поклонники во всем мире (а их немало). И бодрые старички, Дитер Майер и Борис Бланк, не разочаровали. Четырнадцатый номерной альбом «Point», вышедший 28 августа, в полной мере демонстрирует все характерные для группы черты, делающие их такими узнаваемыми: чувство стиля, невозмутимая юмористическая эксцентричность и главное - нестандартное музыкальное мышление, фирменные саунд-коллажи, пазл, мастерски склеенный из крошечных кусочков-звуков. В этом смысле название альбома «Point» («Точка») можно отнести ко всему творчеству группы. Хоть термин «пуантилизм» появился в искусстве достаточно давно и имеет чёткое словарное определение, к «Yello» его можно применить с полным основанием.
