I have no idea who originally said this, but it was quoted in a Vickie
posting.  I'm fairly sure it isn't Vickie speaking (you don't need to follow
up to confirm that, Vickie.)

Yello uses a guitar to play the guitar, actually.  At least, on every Yello
album I own there is generally someone (or several someones) credited for
guitars.  Let's just check in the old satchel to see if I brought any Yello
discs to work this week...  Yup!  "Flag" credits Chico Hablas - Guitar on 7,
9.

ON the other hand, all the horns are sampled.  I read an interview with
Boris Blank where he said that he used hands slapping on leather pants for a
drum once...  And Dieter Meier said that "Tied Up" has 150 tracks and Boris
didn't use a track sheet to mix it.  Now *THAT'S* godlike talent.  Dieter
said Boris played the mixing desk like a conductor conducting a symphony
orchestra.
