Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • REMIX ALBUM: HAPPY END OF YOU features Pizzicato Five songs remixed by The Automator, 808 State, Daddy-O, DJ Dara, Gusgus, Sean O'Hagan, Oval, John Oswald, Saint Etienne, Momus, The Shooter, Dimitri From Paris, Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones.
  • Producers include: Konishi Yasuhara, John Oswald.
  • Engineers include: Bibi.
  • Considering that their career has been based around a cut-and-paste, anything goes style of pop re-invention, it's only fitting for Pizzicato Five to have the same techniques applied to their own music. Their unique blend of over-the-top retro pop mixes everything under the sun, stirring orchestral arrangements in with samples and space-age sound effects. With the spirit of an artist and the skill of a scientist, Yasuharu Konishi creates a super-sophisticated form of lounge music. REMIX ALBUM: HAPPY END OF YOU finds the process taken even further, inviting some fellow artists to manipulate the band's 1997 album HAPPY END OF THE WORLD.
  • Automator kicks things off with "Love's Theme," stripping the mix down to vocals and strings, throwing in a sinewy synth-bass line and film dialogue samples. "Porno 3003" becomes frenetic, hard hitting and hard-hitting in the skilled hands of DJ Dara, who throws in a sinister-sounding, mutant bass line for good measure. Visited by St. Etienne, "Love's Theme" retains a much more organic feel, driven by instrumental tracks, leaving it an airy, near-perfect slice of retro pop before turning it into a hard rock epic. The backwards vocals of Momus's "Trailer Music" easily mark the album's most disturbing moment.
