Review by Jason Anderson
More than retro, the instrumental Four Piece Suit debut Ready to Where? is a stylistic trip that solicits cinematic and cultural images both nostalgic and modern. Released in 1996, this 15-song collection boasts original and cover material that transitions from jazz to surf to swing to Latin, and more. The group's arrangement and performance of Henry Mancini's "Something for Cat" made it onto the Grammy ballot twice, and the group received more than a little college-radio exposure for their efforts on Ready to Where? Along with "Something for Cat," the Mancini track "A Shot in the Dark," along with Crazy Horse's "Hey Hey My My (Out of the Blue)," count as cinematic highlights. Original standouts include "Mondo Bondo" (written by guitarist Milt Reder) and "Strip Search" (by saxophonist David Sholl). More diverse than nostalgic, more innovation than imitation, Ready to Where? is about as good as instrumental pop/rock gets.

Reseña de Jason Anderson
Más que retro, el debut instrumental de Four Piece Suit Ready to Where? es un viaje estilístico que solicita imágenes cinematográficas y culturales tanto nostálgicas como modernas. Publicada en 1996, esta colección de 15 canciones cuenta con material original y de versiones que pasa del jazz al surf, al swing y al latín, entre otros. Los arreglos e interpretaciones del grupo de "Something for Cat" de Henry Mancini llegaron a la votación de los Grammy en dos ocasiones, y el grupo recibió más que una pequeña exposición en la radio universitaria por sus esfuerzos en Ready to Where? Junto con "Something for Cat", el tema de Mancini "A Shot in the Dark", junto con "Hey Hey My My (Out of the Blue)" de Crazy Horse, se cuentan como puntos álgidos cinematográficos. Entre los temas originales destacan "Mondo Bondo" (escrito por el guitarrista Milt Reder) y "Strip Search" (del saxofonista David Sholl). Más diverso que nostálgico, más innovador que imitativo, Ready to Where? es lo mejor que puede hacer el pop/rock instrumental.
