Dieter Meier from YELLO talks about how YELLO came about, his long-term partner in the band - Boris Blank, the departure of Carlos Peron, the hits, about his love of Billy Mackensie's voice, and of course their Rhythm Divine track with Shirley Bassey. And he talks about the role co-incidence has played in his life, the highs and the lows, his art, his ranch in Argentina, and his latest venture - chocolate.
