a great dj set that combines trad tango with the gotan spin on tango even through to some tango atmosphere
there's even a 4x4 tango for those who bneed obvious beats.... and peter kruder gives life to the gotan classic "triptico" [a hit from a couple of years ago]

| Not what I expected |  |
I bought this CD because of La Revancha Del Tango and was disappointed. While I appreciate their desire to not make all their CD's sound the same, most of it was too different for my liking. I have never liked music that begins with talking and interviews, it sounds like someone held a tape player to the radio and walked away. I will give them one more chance though.
| Unlistenable in places ... | |
Following their superb album "La Revancha del Tango," I purchased this CD without listening to it. This one is a disappointment in several places, not the least of which is the ridiculous rap remix, "M.A.T.H." by Al-Shid (the quality of that one rhymes with his name). Why would these excellent musicians presume that someone who likes their tango remixes would necessarily like to listen to a rap remix? In any case, whereas the remainder of the CD is certainly not up to the quality of "La Revancha del Tango," it does shine in places, especially their take on Chet Baker and "Triptico." Even their (yet another) re-remix of "Santa Maria" (see also "Santa Maria 1") is an excellent addition to this collection. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of Gotan Project because of "La Revancha del Tango," take a pass on this one and have a listen instead to their much better follow up, "LunĂ¡tico."

"La Revancha Del Tango" is the blueprint to some of these tracks and I suggest you get them both. However, to truly appreciate this CD and the Gotan Project you must have some background in the early South American bohemian music derived from Europe and Africa (Tango, Milonga, Chacarera, etc).
It's amazing that they picked Chet Baker's version of "Round About Midnight" over it's original, but it's brilliant because it would not be as fitting otherwise. Mixing hardcore rap lyrics with classical tango has not been done by anyone else and to add some more creativity.. The bonus CD will have you moving.
I love this CD because I grew up lisening to Tango, I appreciate mastered rap and love Miles.

two good tracks and much in the way of attempts to be cutting edge... and falling short.
