Pro Reviews: Made in USA
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Although it's not billed as such, the group's stateside debut is actually a compilation of tracks from their 15 or so albums. You need a taste for irreverent sampling and ironic deconstruction of lightweight pop idioms to dig this. But within that narrow field, Pizzicato Five are as good as it gets. They devise fare that's both funky and funny, made more human than most such projects by Maki Nomiya's fetching vocals. - Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide |

Pros: Original, catchy, and upbeat music.
Cons: I don't know what they're saying...are they talking about ME?
If there was ever a reason to learn Japanese (other than to understand the instructions for your camcorder), Pizzicato Five would be it. This musical group, known to their homeland as the founders of the Shibuya-kei movement, has taken 70s lounge music and transformed it into something hip, catchy, and fun. Most of the songs on Made in America are in Japanese, but dont' fret.
The cool thing about listening to music in a language that you don't understand is that you get to make up your own meanings. For example, I have decided that Twiggy Twiggy is about a ultra-sexy Asian girl who likes to party with the social elite. Otherwise, why would James Bond be at the same party? He doesn't hang around barn dances, my friend. But I digress.
Anyways, this is a good CD for those willing to venture out of the Top-40 realm and see what other cultures have to offer. Your friends will think that you're strange, but who cares? You're just cooler than they are. ...
