Fifth Release From Matador (Vinyl): Pizzicato Five: Amazon.ca: Music

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps P5's best US album, ever, Aug 16 2003

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not my most favortest P5 CD, Jan 29 2003

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars A step in the wrong direction, Oct 29 2002

By

This review is from: Fifth Release From Matador (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "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

5.0 out of 5 stars 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
