Join Pink Martini in concert as they musically travel the globe, from the cafes of Paris to Carnaval in Brazil to the streets of Tokyo. Discover the internationally acclaimed ensemble that the New Yorker has described as "breathtaking" as they take you on a kaleidoscopic cultural journey blended with the grand romance of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Filmed in the ensemble's hometown of Portland at the historic Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, this DVD presents a thrilling full-length concert film (seen nationwide on PBS television) in pristine stereo sound, featuring many of Pink Martini's most beloved songs alongside previously unrecorded rarities.

These are the roots of my career in music. These tracks have determined the path to follow and many of them where revolutionary and truly progressive at the time they where originally released. I have taken the greatest care to come up with the best possible masters, sometimes comparing up to 5 different versions to find out which one sounded the best and most pure. And sometimes even baking the analog master tapes to make them playable again. The heat evaporates the moisture in the coating of the tape. The otherwise moist backing will clog up all parts of the tape recorder the tape touches, leaving a dark glue like substance grinding everything to a halt. After the backing process, the tape becomes playable again and the transfer to digital is performed. Some tracks feature a combination of vocal and dub version just as I used to perform that combination in a live DJ-set. Such a combination features the best parts from the vocal and dub version, capturing the complete feel of what that track meant to me.

12" dance collectors rejoice. Ben Liebrand has assembled a 3rd volume loaded with full length mixes, tediously mastered (some from vinyl because he couldn't find the original masters, but you really can't tell). Personally, 2 songs that make it extremely worth the price for this 4 disc set for me are the Giorgio Moroder productions: Suzi Lane, and the 12" version of Janis Ian from the Foxes soundtrack. There are also NUMEROUS hard to get 12" versions finally here on CD. Still so many more elusive mixes for Liebrand to include on future volumes, and I hope he'll take note of the request list on his website.
