Music from around the world, for all the world

Pink Martini is probably known by name only a few people, however, have been heard before by many. After all pieces of tape are widely used in soundtracks to movies and used series such as The Sopranos. The album Get Happy is the latest work of the artist collective from Portland, Oregon which is home mainly in jazzy easy listening area. However, with the current work why not venture out, apparently once again, about the genre boundaries. However, these are not the only limits are breached, because the cultures and languages ​​are simply swept away times and so the album is a stunning journey through the world of music. Whole nine different languages ​​heard during the album. In addition to English, German, French, Spanish and exotic to our ears singing Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Farsi and Romanian are used. Remarkable here is that the singers of the combination of many pieces sing even in the you also unknown languages ​​and it always works with a lot of heart and actually linguistically, at least in German because I can judge, after all, quite appealing. For many pieces, however they picked up in the language-based artists to still give the whole as its own kick. During the work on this album many impressive titles that have been under the influence of the respective cultures and languages ​​also off marked by singing, although always guided by the basic style of the band emerged, but always slightly different and enormously varied. The whole album works by perhaps particularly soulful and energetic.

But technically the Ablum is very well implemented. The European label Naïve, in which the Bruni is under contract, has licensed the works of Pink Martini for the European market. For the record this fall visually only because below are the Acknowledgements and the country of production on the back of the send gate folds. Not even its own catalog number has awarded for the double LP Naive. And so we are on the subject. As the US edition published the 16 tracks on the European market as a 2LP variant as mentioned very attractive gatefold. The cover acts in large format, with its strong colors just once a whole corner alive. The inside of the gate folds has used to dieverse information on interpreted titles and the additional participating artists to gather. The two plates themselves rest unfortunately in normal Papiersleeve without feeding, but have the transport survived in my two. And so the pressing quality convinced. Although you can hear in the empty slots and between tracks some noise, but basically are all tracks by listening Virtually interference free. It is noticeable that the titles are felt particularly clear and dynamic on the two plates come what joy additionally enhances the listening. For the way it has has enclosed the download code for MP3s. This comes on a well-designed plastic card in credit card format, therefore, to download no registration is necessary, but it will be begging for his email address.

Overall, the package is very round with Pink Martini with Get Happy. And so the album actually makes everything so to actually be happy with order. Who does not know the album or the band should definitely check it out even though the tendency is clearly to buy.
