Title: Another wannabe "tango nuevo" album
Product review: The product description says it all: "[the album will] appeal to a sophisticated lifestyle-oriented consumer". But will it appeal to a tango lover? Hmmm.Unfortunately the better tracks here are the least adventurous, which should tell you something. "Libertango" is completely in the style of the Gotan Project's first album (which is no bad thing). But from here on its mostly downhill. "Vuelvo al sur" is given a very simple repetitive drum-bass treatment with no variation of beat.What drew me to this album was seeing that track 3, "Homage to Chet Baker", was based on the wonderful tune "Alone Together". Unfortunately it's just a mess - the wonderful melody has no chance. Listen to Jo Stafford to hear this tune done properly.Track 5, "The Gaucho's Pain" is indeed that, a painful reworking of Piazzolla's "Oblivion"In summary: a commercial attempt to cash in on the tango nuevo mini-boom, with little of originality - sorry
