Having scored massive USA college and independent station airplay and a video in rotation on MTV Europe and Japan, and having been dubbed a Myspace.com "Artist Of The Week," the Pinker Tones, a Barcelona-based electronica duo, are gaining adherents the world over. On their second album, the cheeky, musically larcenous duo incorporate everything from hot-wired, Super Fly-esque 1970s soul and muscle-headed but endearingly fluffy hip-hop to organ-glazed, beat-trussed bossa nova, with lyrics in English, French, German, and Spanish. "Piccolisima Descarga," 33 seconds of Kraftwerk-like mecho-madness (a relapse occurs during "Maybe Next Saturday"), feeds into "In Pea We Nuts," a wah-wah-frosted instrumental Barry White would have loved. "Pink Freud" reveals what the Beatles might have sounded like if they were still living in Hamburg during The White Album. "Love Tape," with its Ian Anderson-like lead flute, is both intricate and studiedly silly, while "Pinkerland Becaina" is a faux-tropical hallucination. Mister Furia (Salvador Rey) and Professor Manso (Alex Llovet) obviously have a fondness for hand percussion and retro, comparatively cumbersome sonic technologies like the Moog synthesizer and Theremin. But the way they employ them is as new as yesterday seemed while it was happening yet as old as tomorrow will feel the day after. Seductively disorienting, the tunes caress the ear and galvanize the hips like kaleidoscopic sequences of multi-culti deja vu. --Christina Roden
Album Description

 a little abstract, but incredible June 5, 2008
Bryan Mcconomy (Carbondale, IL)
This is a very fun album that at times is a little weird, but overall very enjoyable!
 A great discovery May 27, 2008

This CD is just plain fun! Just when you think you can categorize the Pinker Tones' style, you hear the next song and discover your definition doesn't fit. This is a fascinating, entertaining and eclectic collection of songs. I can listen to this over and over (and have done).

The Million Colour Revolution
In "The Million Colour Revolution" the Pinker Tones introduced their eclectic style to the US mass market. This album is awesome and has only widened their growing world-wide fan base.
The Pinker Tones are an awesome electronic / experimental music band finally getting the attention they deserve. Their style is an eclectic mix of genres including electronic, melodic, street, dance, trance, rock, and too many others to count. The result is almost indescribable. They easily moves between English, Spanish, French, and German.
Their first album, "Mission Pink," was an overseas release that combines a lot of what you see here. Mixing album tracks with remixes is a Pinker Tones staple. Mission Pink
I personally prefer the "More Colours" album to this. It has mostly remix versions of the same tracks on "The Million Color Revolution." In addition to their own stuff, they mix music from other groups including The Submarines, Kinky, the Torpedo Boys, Nortec Collective, and the Mexican Institute of Sound More Colours! The Million Colour Revolution Revisited.
Don't get me wrong, this album still rocks, particularly from track 5 onward. In my opinion, all three albums are worth owning.
If you are a fan of world music, trip-hop, and electronic groups like Oakenfold Greatest Hits & Remixes, The Chemical Brothers We Are the Night, Bloc Party A Weekend in the City or anything experimental for that matter, you owe it to yourself to look into the Pinker Tones.
Well worth a listen.
Enjoy!!!!

Truly a color revolution May 9, 2007
Ivon Zayas Granaldi (Arkansas)
If you like funky dance music then, this is the CD for you. The Pinker Tones' Color Revolution is a wonderfully fun collection of music. It is an album you will certainly be humming long after you've played it or, jumping up to dance to.
really impressive January 10, 2007
Midwestern Bear (Chicago, IL)
I am really enjoying this CD. I love the broad range of musical styles that the Pinker Tones employ on this record. "Karma Hunters" has been influenced by punk, while "Welcome to TMCR" has a 70s soul feel. Many of the songs are infused with electro-pop-hooks, and are incredibly catchy...I find myself trying to sing along, even though there is one song each in French, Spanish, and German. I'm looking forward to hearing more work from this band.
