![]() ![]() thankfully, matador collected some of their finest pop nuggests and released them as 'made in the usa.' When I see you alone I see what's in your mind You love me yes you do You don't need to tell me I know you love me most No one else take my place You love me, yes you do Forever, and ever When we kiss I see what's in your heart You love me yes you do You don't need to tell me I know you love me most No one else take my place Believe me, you do. P5's influences are broad: electronica, bossa nova, chamber pop, baroque pop, art-rock, house, twee, etc, etc, etc. it's impossible to pigenhole a band who never sticks to one sound (and thank heavens for that). Some may argue: 'well, it's in japanese!' answer: so what. ![]() off the top of my head, two songs-the exquisite 'magic carpet ride' (my fav p5 track, along with 'on the sunny side of the street') and the charming 'baby love child'-nomiya maki sings in english. great pop songs are great pop songs, regardless of language. and besides, you can learn the japanese lyrics and impress your friends.įor beginners, 'made in the usa' is an excellent introduction the band. Top tracks include 'twiggy twiggy' (try NOT to tap your foot or do a shimmy across the floor) 'magic carpet ride,' which borrows a bit from the beatles 'baby you're a rich girl,' and the positively infectious 'peace music.' these are but a few of the highlights on album completely devoid of duds. ![]() If 'made in the usa' whets your appetite, check out 'big hits and jet lags' next. both compilations (greatest hits) are worth the heavy price tag. I can't be totally objective when it comes to p5 because i love them dearly. i was saddened when i heard they decided to stop recording. I saw p5 in LA back in 1998 and it was by far the most entertaining and fun gig i've ever seen: costume changes, feather boas, dancing bears, and the dynamic, sultry, sassy, beautiful, glamorous nomiya maki. ![]()
