Album Notes
MADE IN USA compiles tracks from several Pizzicato Five records released only in Japan.Pizzicato Five: Maki Nomiya, Yasuharu Konishi, K-Taro Takanami.Editor: Konishi Yasuharu.Photographer: Takeo Ogiso.For its first full-length U.S. release, dance-pop duo Pizzicato Five had a wealth of options, having released over a dozen albums in their native Japan over the previous seven years, not even counting remix EPs and compilations. However, nearly half of MADE IN USA comes from the Japanese BOSSA NOVA 2001 album, with the rest of the 11 songs taken from a handful of earlier releases. Some of the tracks are re-recordings in English, particularly the odd lengthy interview of singer Maki Nomiya called "This Year's Girl #2," while others feature Pizzicato Five's usual Japanese-English hybrid. The album's highlights are the slinky, Barry White-influenced "Magic Carpet Ride," the hyperkinetic "Twiggy Twiggy/Twiggy Vs. James Bond" and the sultry thump of "Go-Go Dancer," but taken as a whole, MADE IN USA is a perfect introduction to the slyly ironic electro-dance world of Pizzicato Five.
