Happy End of the World

Happy End of the World (1997) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

Happy End of the World is the first album of entirely new material that the Pizzicato Five released in the United States, but it doesn't necessarily represent a great leap forward for the dance-lounge duo. Pizzicato Five continue to blend light '60s pop, '70s disco, and '80s dance with an ironic flair on Happy End of the World, but the energy ...

Playboy & Playgirl

Playboy & Playgirl (1998) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

Playboy & Playgirl begins with the kind of collage-heavy imagined soundtrack that marked Happy End of the World; with that out of the way, they get back to the inspired, eclectic popcraft that is their strength. Hookier and more danceable than their previous album, this is a welcome return to songwriting for the dynamic duo. Think Burt Bacharach ...

Made in USA

Made in USA (1994) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

Although it's not billed as such, Pizzicato Five's stateside debut, Made in USA, 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 ...

Everything Is Nice: Matador Records 10th Anniversary Anthology

Everything Is Nice: Matador Records 10th Anniversary Anthology (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Founded by Gerard Cosloy and Chris Lombardi in the autumn of 1989, Matador Records emerged as one of the most important and influential American independent labels of the decade to follow, largely defining the sound and spirit of indie rock through seminal releases from artists including Pavement, Liz Phair, Yo la Tengo, and Guided by Voices. The ...

The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five

The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five (1995) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

The second of Matador's compilations of Pizzicato Five's Japanese releases, with an emphasis on Bossanova 2001 and Overdose. There are a few rarities scattered throughout: "Fortune Cookie," an obscure B-side, and "No. 5," from Readymade Recordings in 1991. The St. Etienne remix of "Peace Music," nine minutes of loops and distortion, unbalances ...

What's Up Matador

What's Up Matador (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Once Sub Pop's roster broke through to the mainstream in the early '90s, its reign as America's premier independent label drew to a close, leaving Matador Records as the definitive indie label of the decade. Matador's period of greatest impact was between 1991 and 1997, which is the time that the double-disc set What's Up Matador chronicles. The ...

The Fifth Release from Pizzicato Five

The Fifth Release from Pizzicato Five (2000) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

While it was only the group's fifth American release, the Pizzicato Five had compiled a lengthy discography in Japan, and the weight of their past sounds like it caught up with them on what proved to be their swan song. Fifth Release from Pizzicato Five isn't appreciably different from what preceeded it; Yasuharu Konishi's songs are still a frothy ...

Sushi 4004 (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

This follow-up to the Sushi 3003 compilation features more in the way of Shibuya-issued Japanese pop from 1996-1998. Like the previous collection, Sushi 4004 packs it in with 16 stunning slices of hyper-eclectic music. Including fine cuts by 3003 alum Cornelius and Pizzicato Five, 4004 also includes the varied likes of Neil and Iraiza, Collette, ...

Sister Freedom Tapes

Sister Freedom Tapes (1996) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

The year 1996 marked a year off for Pizzicato Five from any major recording, but they still managed some releases -- this being the only one with new material. Yasuharu Konishi stripped away the technology for this EP, recording the tracks live in the studio, hoping for a raw White Album sort of feel (albeit without the fighting). There's a ...

Five by Five (1994) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

Marking the American debut of the Pizzicato Five on the Matador label, this five-song EP contains remixed and resung tracks from This Year's Girl and elsewhere. Matador's plan to have Maki sing in English doesn't exactly work, and says more of the label's initial fear that American audiences wouldn't listen to Japanese lyrics (Matador and the ...

Happy End of You (1998) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

Although it doesn't offer any radically new interpretations, Flow Hyphenated Drop (Happy End of the World Remixes) is a thoroughly entertaining remix album. All of the cuts were originally on Pizzicato Five's 1997 album The Happy End of World, a typically stylish and enjoyable Pizzicato album, much like Flow Hyphenated Drop itself. The superstar ...

Instant Replay (1993) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

A live recording from Christmastime 1992 at Nakano SunPlaza, Instant Replay shows the band drawing from their full catalog, not just touring on the success of Sweet Pizzicato Five. Tokyo's Coolest Combo back the group on several numbers, including a stripped-down and mellowed-out "Twiggy Twiggy," "They All Laughed," and "What Now Our Love." ...

Soft Landing on the Moon (1990) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

If anything, Pizzicato Five's fourth album demonstrates that great things can come from disparate sources. Soft Landing on the Moon shows the band in transition, with a selection made up of radical reworkings of their past catalog, outtakes, covers, and some strong originals. This was Takao Tajima's last outing as vocalist, but such soul workouts ...

Big Hits & Jetlags: 1994-1997 (1999) more music like this

by Pizzicato Five

The third compilation of Pizzicato Five singles and should-have-been hits focuses on the years following Takanami leaving the group. Although this only means two full albums to draw from, Pizzicato Five had released so many singles and EPs during this period, so this CD is an excellent way to keep up to date. (It helps that these singles, "Baby ...
