Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Pizzicato Five, duo japonais mené par le compositeur fou Yasuharu Konishi, aura beaucoup fait pour l'amitié occidentalo-japonaise. Curiosité venue de loin pour les Occidentaux fascinés par cette langue étrange, Pizzicato Five semble pourtant irrésistiblement attiré par la culture occidentale et s'inspire de la plus fine tradition pop européenne pour fabriquer ses chansons, mélange de bricolage électro et de pop 60's/70's très classique. The Fifth Release From Matador balance très naturellement entre les deux, fortement inspiré par l'Italie et la France, tant par les titres ("Roma", "A Room With A View", "La Guerre est finie") que par les musiques, piochant allégrement dans les BO italiennes des années 70. Avec, pour prouver, s'il le fallait, leur amour de l'Europe, une reprise totalement électrocutée de "Tout pour ma chérie" de Polnareff. --Elsa Forget

Perhaps P5's best US album, ever Aug 16 2003
Format:Audio CD
The beauty of this album is how it jumps all around on the music scene. It blends the sounds together nicely. So what if they don't speak English! This album did everything right.

Not my most favortest P5 CD Jan 29 2003
Format:Audio CD
No one would ever guess that I'm a P5 fan, but yet I am. This CD, however, is not my favorite from this duo. Don't get me wrong it's not bad, just they have done better. It has the same happy happy joy joy sound as the others, but doesn't seem to have the cleverness behind it.

A step in the wrong direction Oct 29 2002
By eo
Format:Audio CD
Pizzicato 5 are at their very best when they sound new and fresh. This recording is old and stale. There is nothing here that departs from what you've heard from them before with the exception of the tracks "20th Century Girl" (the one redeeming feature of this album) and "Tout, Tout Pour Ma Cherie" (an abysmal failure...). The remaining songs all sound like you've heard them many times before in superior versions.

Where "Happy End of The World" was a leap forward for P5, "The Fifth Release" is a step backwards. If you're looking to buy a P5 album, do yourself a favour and get one of the other ones.

"Do these guys ever make an album that DOESN'T sound great?"
I got my nephews hooked on Pizzicato Five three years ago after I discovered them myself, and whenever we travel together (which is a lot, as I babysit them often) they request... Read more

Awesome CD all around -- But only for open minds.
I just love it. In fact I probably play this CD once a week (I do a lot of driving). If your are a Pizzacato 5 fan this is a must own CD. Read more

which Pizzicato gets us used to in their CD covers and booklets, the music here is an international combination of two hemispheres: brazilian jazzanova is representing a good act... Read more

Pizzicato Five sound more polished and sophisticated with each album. This cd is my current favorite of their US releases. Read more

Four for Five by P5
While "Sound of Music" remains their best, P5 bring us another collection of inventive, lounge-inspired songs that will hook you on the 3rd or 4th listen. Read more
