 Gotan Project Tango 3.0 August 19, 2010
Joevanie
Thank you for your business. Fast delivery and the disk was in perfect shape. Thanks again.
Good, as ever July 15, 2010
Hans Kardol
The Gotan Project started with La Revancha del Tango as first album combining modern day rhythms and sampling techniques with the ever classic sound of Tango of the traditional instruments used by the classic masters of tango such as Carlos Di Sarli. Creating a sound clearly of this day and age but with the distinctive Argentine tango sound. Create lounge music if you want to but also perfect for a good night out for a live show or a Tango Salon where the beats of Gotan Project will keep you going. Finding you way between the other dancing couples and felling challenge to explore your capabilities within the Argentine tango.
The second album, Lunatico, and this new one Tango 3.0 almost create a new tradition. It is easy recognizable as Gotan in its sound and quality. Maybe that is the only downside: It is good, as ever. Indicating that it brings now surprises or new approaches to the Tango compares with the perious 2 albums (or it must be the children's choir on track 3, not my favorite)
Back to the dance floor, with some new, current outstanding results. July 8, 2010

The Paris-based core trio of Philippe Cohen Solal (DJ), Christophe H Mueller (programmer) and Eduardo Makaroff (guitarist) started making traditional Argentinian tango new by finding in its lustiness a correlative with deep, soulful house-music vibes.
With "La Revancha Del Tango" (Tango's Revenge) (2001), their sensual electronica takes on Argentina's famed urban folk sound won widespread acclaim, sold over a million copies and created a revolution in World Music department.
Tango music was given a modern DJ makeover, could have been music for cocktail lounges, car adverts and the sort of chill-out compilation albums.
After a while, their fans begun to get weary of hearing their favourite riffs sampled in jingles and TV commercials and started to be eagerly awaiting a follow up.
"Inspiración/Espiración" (2004) was a collection of 12 remixes by Gotan's French producer/DJ Phillipe Cohen Solal. Using old tango vinyls, new hip-hop 12 inches, poetry readings, jazz samples and also tapes from the first disc, Cohen Solal has mixed an album with the familiar trippy percussion and plangent bandoneón (button accordion) phrases, but with even less reverence for either tango or electronica.
But fans had to wait until mid-2005 to see Philippe and his two aides pulling off something really new and unusual or, indeed, making something like the impact of their dashing debut.
In 2006 Gotan - back-slang for "Tango"- released "Lunático", named after a horse owned by tango legend Carlos Gardel.
Syncopated tango rhythms rub shoulders with subtle house beats, groovy bass lines, sinewy violins and spacey piano, steel guitar and 1970s disco beats and a mock cabaret sound.
There is an authenticity to these pieces which is hard to fake. Cool, groovy and rarely overstated, equally at home either after a night at Pacha, or over a leisurely meal with friends.
Languid clubby tango-tinged grooves for hedonistic clubbers worldwide, with a more tightly managed acoustic sound and more depth and emotion.
With"Tango 3.0", the Paris-based trio step back on the dance floor.
Augmented by skilled instrumentalists, this latest offering showcases how vivacious tango rhythms and tasteful chillout beats mix into a sumptuous whole that - combined with striking, "weeping bandoneón theme embellished by stock cinematic sound effects such as a filtered voice or crowd roar", strings, clarinet, harmonica and guests - lead the listeners into a melancholic, moody reverie.
The root material is the same and the dance themes remain strong and rather relevant, as they were in "La Revancha".
"It can work. It did work. But it feels stodgily clinical here, especially when the last part of the equation sounds suspiciously like an announcement for a holiday show promo of Buenos Aires.
Still, there is something to be admired in the great attention to detail with which Gotan fashion their dubscapes, and the balance struck between dense and airy tonalities is effective. Yet the essential problem is that the constituent parts in the creative process are too often mechanically bolted together and that the programming, above all the basslines, lacks real dynamism". -Kevin Le Gendre
Purists will often say that is better to leave old traditions as they are, untouched by novel ideas. Fortunately, that is not always the case, and music has several examples of re-visited musical styles.
Gotan is probably one of the clearest examples of this, where electronic grooves have been mixed with more traditional interpretations of tango, electronica and jazz, with some outstanding results.
Best tracks: "Tango Square", "La Gloria", "Panamericana" and "Peligo", shocasing the beautiful vocals by Villalonga.

This cd came in the expected time and was in good condition. I really enjoy the cd.
 Not as good as Lunatico May 16, 2010
Kat (Los Angeles, CA United States)
The only other Gotan Project cd I have is LUNATICO, and TANGO 3.0 pales in comparison to it. Most of TANGO 3.0 is made up of uninspired instrumentals with some occasional jibber jabber. I'm giving TANGO 3.O only 2 stars for the 2 tracks I actually like on it; Track 1 "Tango Square" (a rather sexy instrumental) and Track 11 "Erase Una Vez" (the one track with some lovely vocals).
