Sophisticated Catchy!.......2006-10-04

I mainly bought this cd to have TWIGGY,TWIGGY but I ended up liking the entire cd. I had no prior knowledge of P-5 until I saw the video for Twiggy,Twiggy at a club here in Chicago. P-5 incorporates all different types of dance music; from retro sounding to hip hop beats-from many of the tracks utilizing the house sound. Nomiya Maki's voice compliments the arrangements which were penned by the brainchild of the group Konishi. I found later that P-5 in their earlier incarnations(late 80's)were 3 men including Konishi and K-taro who eventually went solo.
I irritated my freinds with this;as some of them couldn't stand TWIGGY,TWIGGY or any of the Japanese tracks for that matter of fact. The first track entitled "I" was featured in Pauly Shore movie as he was singing along with it in one of the scenes. You have to keep in mind that several of these tracks appeared earlier in other P-5 albums but were here for inclusion for P-5's American release. Eventually, I bought the Japanese releases with similar track listings but which included songs that weren't on the American releases.

A Great Introduction to Pizzicato Five.......2005-10-13

"Made in USA" was the first P5 album I ever heard, and I couldn't decide whether it was American, French, or Italian. To learn that a Japanese group could move so smoothly from styles that I'd always associated with European and American music of the Sixties and early Seventies. But P5 hasn't only mastered these genres. They've remade them in the band's own image. Fans of the group, used to its sometimes unusual, often eclectic, style may not think this P5's best album, but it may be the best place to start.

Clunky compared to later P5.......2005-09-22

I had an odd introduction to Pizzicato Five, my first album of theirs being the 2001 import "In The Mix," a Yoshinori Sunahara live mix album.

"In The Mix" is fantastic. The tracks, ranging from a snappily remixed version of "Baby Portable Rock" to a beautiful, live, acoustic version of "The Night is Still Young," are excellent as they are varied.

In comparison, "Made in USA" feels a lot less sophisticated and mature. The tracks generally lack the sort of captivating arrangements and lush, beautiful instrumentation that characterize P5's later work, and feel fairly dull and repetitive.

one of the great pop bands of our time.......2005-07-29

pizzicato five (P5, to those of you in the know) made a career (a career sadly that sadly ended a few years back) of making some of the catchiest, addictive pop songs you could ever hope to hear. thankfully, matador collected some of their finest pop nuggests and released them as 'made in the usa.'

how does one define p5? you don't. 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.

for 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. i've yet to hear her solo work, but i'm anxiously awaiting.

dive into the world of p5 and you'll hear all that's right with pop music. we love you, p5! oh yes we do!

P5 - a band like no other.......2004-01-07

I'm very big fan of this band. I bought this cd years ago. And yet i don't get tired of listening to it. The songs are a beautiful blend of jazz, blues, rock, and pop. Sweet Soul Revue and Baby Love Child are top tracks.

This previously unreleased soundtrack was commissioned from Sonic Youth back in 1986. A couple of hipsters editing a movie used songs from Sonic Youth's Evol on their temporary soundtrack, and the director agreed to let the band score the whole film. A good portion of Sonic Youth's music didn't make the final cut, but thanks to Rhino, it's all available here for the first time ever. There is little singing on this record; most of the "songs" are the kind of mood/noise pieces that this band executes so easily. Several have nice catchy chord progressions and indicate that even in the group's earlier and more experimental and noisy days, it knew the value of a good hook. The music doesn't reveal itself as completely and easily as in Sister, making it far more gratifying. There is mystery here, and to fully appreciate it, imagination is required. --Adem Tepedelen

Made In USA: Music From the Original 1986 Motion Picture Soundtrack.......2007-03-18

If you like SY for there ability to take you somewhere with a story instrumentally with the occassional obscure vocals, then this album is up your alley. It is as if you are driving through the desert in your unair-conditioned car, looking for an adventure. Very abstract. This album is not for you if you like powercords verse-chorus-verse chorus.

Swanky movie soundtrack.......1998-07-23

A lo-fi original, from before the term meant anything. 23 slyly infectious pieces of music, most of which were intended to be a sound track for the movie called Heart Like a wheel (later released as Made In USA). Full of twisting hooks and noisey, ear catching melodies. Give 'em a listen or two, and you will be hooked too. Too bad the movie got hacked to inanity before release.

Rare, hard-to-find recordings.......2007-07-04

If you are into the 60's style, this is a great CD for you. It has so many unusual offerings that you never see on other CD's. There were some that I remembered vaguely, such as Trade Martin's "That Stranger Used to Be My Girl, but also many are new favorites for me. The price is rather high at this time, but it is a good addition for any 60's music collector.

Customer Reviews:

This is the original.......2003-05-29

This album is so lovely. This is too bad that every songs are known as other famous singer's songs. To be precise, all the songs are her original, and she just offer them to other singers before she release this album. But her singing is still remarkable.

Mai-K.......2002-09-10

This really is a great album, but most of the songs are cover versions, especially the Mai Kuraki songs "Love, Day after Tomorrow", "This is your life", "Happy days", "Secret of my heart", "Delicious Way" and "Stay by my side" would rather be worth listened in their original version!

But I have to admit that Aika's singing skills aren't quite like any other artist's: Just like a mystic chant, it really goes straight to the heart!

It's a pity that GIZA USA took most of Mai Kuraki's songs, which already have been released on american territory. They should have rather let Aika participate more on the album, presenting her own songs, especially as they are telling on her official HomePage what a great songstress Aika should be!?

And don't let you blend by the publicity of the album, as she is as new to japanese audience, then she is to US audience!

Really a pity, that newby Aika Ohno had to hide behind the shadow of her glorious predecessor Mai Kuraki!?

Wonderful lyrics, but..........2002-03-23

I would gladly buy another album by Akia--her voice and songwriting skills shine through the manufactured sound that is present on this disk. Akia's lyrics translate very well to English--but the American pop music plauge seems to have infected the music.

What Aika needs is a new producer and a live band to go with it--then she'd be very close to perfecting a sound to match her words. I'd suggest taking a page or two from Chihiro Onitsuka's book would suit her better in the long run.
