I loved Sympathique (and awaited this new release along with everyone else) and couldn't wait for this new CD to come out. It was well worth the wait. China Forbes sounds better than ever - she's clearly been doing her vocal exercises! - and Robert Taylor is a welcome new addition with his evocative lead vocals (and trumpet musings) in Veronique. The range of the album's songs is greater - from the joy of the opening track to the depths of the beautiful cello solo that opens U Palvu zoru.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE PINK MARTINI; THEIR NAME HAS A "BLING RING" ..., May 29, 2005

I'm much better at book reviews than I am at music. Being a grandmother and (I confess) a great-grandmother, I didn't expect any of today's music to move me ... or even impress me.

BUT ... this album did it! I can't say--as one reviewer said-- that every song is pitch-perfect (my hearing isn't that good anymore), but I CAN say that I liked what I heard.

I have never had a martini in my long life, but I'm even sold on the name of these talented musicians. It has a "Bling Ring" to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The wait is FINALLY over!!, November 1, 2004

Those of us who have been PM fans for a while have waited endlessly to finally have this album in our hands. For the past few years, it has become a running joke between the band and its fans.

Lead singer China Forbes once said during a concert, "This next song is called 'Aspettami', which means, "Wait for me", which means, "Be patient... the new album will come out one day!"

If you ever get the chance to see this amazing group live, DO NOT hesitate. Living in Oregon, I've been lucky enough to see them about 8 times and even meet the entire ensemble on a number of occasions. They are truly special, very talented individuals.

My ONLY complaint -- and believe me, I don't mean this as any kind of indicator on the quality of this album -- is that a few songs that I've come to love through their live shows didn't make this album's cut. These include "The Flying Squirrel" and the bands crowd-favorite song "Hey Eugene", among others whose titles escape. However, I'm confident that these songs will be a part of an eventual third album.

Do yourself and/or someone you love a favor... buy this album and the band's first cd, "Sympathique" and enjoy one of the best kept musical secrets around.
