2011 collection from the modern Lounge masters. This Best of embodies everything that makes the 12-piece little orchestra from Oregon so adored from the pop of 'Hey Eugene' to a version of 'Mas Que Nada' featuring the revered Japanese singer Saori Yuki, from the haunting 'Que Sera Sera' to a unique version of 'Moon River' with Gus Van Sant on vocals. This special collection features seven previously unreleased songs plus a 48 page booklet of rare Pink Martini Polaroid photos. Wrasse.

Slightly different "latin easy listening"
I already had the track Una Notte di Napoli, and a couple of my friends were great fans of Pink Martini. The cost of this compilation was pretty low so I took a chance. I would classify the music as being samba / bosa nova / Americo-Cuban / Sergio Mendez / Brasil 66 style easy listening, think bongos, castanets, trumpets, unison backing vocals, performed by technically excellent musicians. The female vocal lead is very smooth and seductive. So for me it is entertaining background music but not soul-stirring. If I saw them live I'm sure I would find them very engaging.

retrospective!
Some criticisms don't seem to have taken into account what the title means. I enjoyed it, a lot, and would recommend to anyone who likes the band.

Good but not brilliant!
Love Pink Martini and have several CDs and thought it would be good to buy this but in my opinion the choice of material is not what I would have chosen in a retrospective...but then again we all have different tastes!
