We Say...
A multi-colored cornucopia of funk, salsa, electropop and R&B, The Pinker Tones' Million Color Revolution is giddy and irresistible. Drawing on the same kind of cross-cultural grab bag aesthetic as Cornershop, the Tones fuse skittering dance rhythms to acid-washed guitars and mantra-like refrains to create dance music that is global in scope. "Beyond Nostalgia", with it's twittering pipes and burbling organ recalls Tropicalia at is most relaxed while the low-end thump and high-end moans of "Sonida Total" recall Beck at his most disco.

They Say...
Barcelona-based duo the Pinker Tones have apparently never met a style of music they don't like. Their second full-length album, The Million Colour Revolution, is even more wide-ranging than 2004's The BCN Connection. Rather like a more world music-influenced version of Saint Etienne's Foxbase Alpha or Pizzicato Five's mid-'90s work, The Million Colour Revolution is based in club-oriented dance music, but it layers in elements of indie pop, bossa nova, European film soundtracks from the '60s, various countries' folk musics, and influences yet more unexpected. For example, the weirdly insistent "Gone Go On" has the warped beat and loopy vocal style of the Residents, while the jaunty "Pinkerland Becaina" sounds like the instrumental bed for an as-yet-unfinished Leon Redbone tune and "Maybe Next Saturday" recalls the Normal and other minimalist British synth rockers of the early new wave era. Hugely entertaining, and much more cohesive than the laundry list of influences would suggest, The Million Colour Revolution is both a giddy giggle and an appealing piece of electronic dance-pop.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
