"I heard about the Pinker Tones on a podcast some time ago, and from that moment I knew I had to get this album. If you dig that kind of retro-loungey, kitschy electro-pop sound from bands like Ursula 1000, Pizzicato Five, Titan, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Kinky and the like, you have to get this CD too. TPT gives a try at everything they can get their hands on - from bossa nova to breaks to space age pop-infused disco beats sparkled with a big heap of orchestral and talk samples for good measure. Depending on how eclectic your taste is, you may either find this album as a weird mix of offbeat tracks, or a perfectly good mélange of songs sharing a common kitsch-pop feel, which I can live perfectly with."

"The Million Colour Revolution



In "The Million Colour Revolution" the Pinker Tones introduced their eclectic style to the US mass market. This album is awesome and has only widened their growing world-wide fan base.



The Pinker Tones are an awesome electronic / experimental music band finally getting the attention they deserve. Their style is an eclectic mix of genres including electronic, melodic, street, dance, trance, rock, and too many others to count. The result is almost indescribable. They easily moves between English, Spanish, French, and German.



Their first album, "Mission Pink," was an overseas release that combines a lot of what you see here. Mixing album tracks with remixes is a Pinker Tones staple. Mission Pink



I personally prefer the "More Colours" album to this. It has mostly remix versions of the same tracks on "The Million Color Revolution." In addition to their own stuff, they mix music from other groups including The Submarines, Kinky, the Torpedo Boys, Nortec Collective, and the Mexican Institute of Sound More Colours! The Million Colour Revolution Revisited.



Don't get me wrong, this album still rocks, particularly from track 5 onward. In my opinion, all three albums are worth owning.



If you are a fan of world music, trip-hop, and electronic groups like Oakenfold Greatest Hits & Remixes, The Chemical Brothers We Are the Night, Bloc Party A Weekend in the City or anything experimental for that matter, you owe it to yourself to look into the Pinker Tones.



Well worth a listen.



Enjoy!!!!

"This CD is just plain fun! Just when you think you can categorize the Pinker Tones' style, you hear the next song and discover your definition doesn't fit. This is a fascinating, entertaining and eclectic collection of songs. I can listen to this over and over (and have done)."
