Pizzicato Five - The Sound of Music 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 this collection, but most of the selection is cohesive enough to listen to all the way through. ~ Ted Mills, All Music Guide
