Music reviews of Splendor in the Grass (Limited Edition) (Incl. Bonus DVD)
Music Review: Rip off. It won't play in US dvd players, and no new material anyway
Rating: 2 Stars
Splendor In the Grass is a fine album. I consider it the LEAST enjoyable of Pink Martini's first 4 albums, but that's still a very high standard. They're a fantastic band, and this album is quite fun, it's just maybe a notch below its 3 predecessors.
Unfortunately, I have to give a much lower mark to this "Limited Edition" version. The Limited Edition contains the exact same music CD which I had previously purchased (as expected), and a bonus concert film which is what made me lay out the cash for this new copy. The DVD will NOT PLAY on American DVD players, as it's in the PAL format; something that should have been made clear in the product description. I mean...this is an American band; why would I guess that their DVDs would be released in the European format?
I found that I could play the movie on a computer (which was not my preferred method for showing it), but all the material was just a repeat of what is already available on their previously released concert film! In fact, it's a subset of that other DVD. The product description should really be more clear. They're charging extra to include A PORTION OF the same concert you've probably already purchased, and they're giving it to you on a disc that won't play in American players.
I'm pretty miffed about having paid for this "Limited Edition", but I still enjoy the standard CD of Splendor in the Grass.

Description of Splendor in the Grass (Limited Edition) (Incl. Bonus DVD)
Limited Edition UK pressing includes a bonus DVD with 10 live tracks.Pink Martini--the genre-bending, best-selling, supremely talented, and raucously fun twelve-piece ensemble that the New Yorker calls simply "beautiful," sophisticated," and "breathtaking"--returns with Hey Eugene! a twelve-track sonic journey anchored by deft songwriting and a no-holds-barred dose of cabaret showmanship. "We're kind of like musical archaeologists, bringing melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create something that is modern," explains bandleader, artistic director, and founder Thomas Lauderdale. Delivered with sultry grace by lead singer China Forbes, Hey Eugene! shines throughout--from the golden-era Hollywood melody of "Everywhere" to the French cabaret of "Ojala." Other collaborations anchor the set as well: the pan-world "Dosvedanya, Mio Bombino" with its Latin-meets-Russian beat and globetrotting subject matter, plus the Forbes-Lauderdale-penned sexy sway of "City of Night." Peruvian percussionist Martin Zarzar debuts the romantically complex "Mar Desconocido" and bassist Phil Baker adds the quiet beauty of "Cante e Dance." The group also mines the past for hidden gems, including the Japanese-language track "Taya Tan" and their first-ever recording in Arabic, "Bukra wba'do." Meanwhile, clever lyricism leads to an empowering dose of pop perfection on the title track by Forbes (about a boy she met at a party who asked for her number and never called). Finally, jazz legend Jimmy Scott makes a stunning vocal guest appearance in a duet with Forbes on the closing song "Tea for Two." With Hey Eugene! Pink Martini has returned with an exhilarating album full of uncompromising musicianship, hope, beauty, and joy!
