Pink Martini's debut album incorporates an impressive variety of influences; traces of Cuban music, cabaret and film soundtracks are all discernible on Sympathetique, an intriguing blend of contemporary pop painted with brass, strings and percussion. [This reissue returns to the CD's original ten-song track list.] ~ Jason Ankeny

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED ENTIRE ALBUM!! ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE ALBUM FOR THE ONE SONG "AMADO MIO" BUT AFTER LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM I BECAME HOOKED AND LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST ONCE EVERYDAY -- YES IT'S THAT GOOD. IT HAS A FIFTIES SORT OF BEAT WITH LOTS OF RYTHYM TO EITHER DANCE TO OR JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE MUSIC. THIS MUSIC GROUP HAS ALOT OF TALENT AND I HOPE TO HEAR MORE FROM THEM IN THE FUTURE.

Lidia on Pink Martini Well, at first I thought it was an instrumental CD, then I realized it was not, but loved it all through.

A band ready for a major breakthrough These guys had rehearsal space across the street from my office and shared an AMTRAK ride with me back from the Bumbershoot fest a few years ago of which one reviewer commented. Fabulous interpretations with a Latin/classical feel, the opening cut is a killer.Somehow though it all left one wanting more and I think, the band is ready to kick it up a notch and breakthrough on a national scale. I think much more lurks within Lauderdale & Co then we've presently heard. Submitted by Lee (Portland Oregon) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 2 found this helpful.
Surprisingly Latin! Having bought this CD for the French songs which I thought it had ,I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the Latin Jazz numbers it held, sung in Spanish - really good. The French song ( the ONLY one on the CD in spite of the CD title implying that there would be a predominance of French material on it!) is brilliant.

Average type band I have to admit I have never heard of these guys and just happenned to hear them at the experience music project in Seattle. They have some good songs on this cd but there were some cuts I thought shouldn't be on there. Submitted by a reviewer (Bellingham, WA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
