Tango music. Much like the jazz music, nice background music but it didn't really pique my interest. The last three songs are the best. Would not listen again.

meh. Its like bad theme music. I dont know what its the theme to, but its boring AF. 1/5

Sounds like a damn cartoon soundtrack.

Duuuuuuuuuurt

Not really my thing to be honest (19%)

Nope, not for me.

Astor Piazzolla's 'The New Tango' is like a modern twist on an old dance – kinda cool, but a bit too edgy for my vibe. While the fusion of jazz and classic tango is interesting, it's just not my jam. 🎵 1/5

Tango had a threesome with Jazz and Classical giving birth to Nuevo Tango. Boring.

you know when you've been tangoed. i prefer the original recipe with maximum sugar as teeth are for losers.

This one was not for me at all!

Just riled me up right good this one. I did not need to hear this really... I guess they are talented musicians but honestly imagine sitting through that live. No thanks. Well repetitive and not in a good way

Best bits was the clapping

Imagine a Billy Joel album, with a bit more oomph instrumentally, without the singing, add a bit of vibraphone, and some applause at more or less random intervals. Like spending an hour on hold, waiting for a fancy Argentinean boutique hotel to tell you that they've got no reservations within three weeks of the time that you'll be in Buenos Aires. 1/5.

Not my kind of music.

I think I prefer the old tango. Glockenspiel solos were never my thing.

I think the soft recording quality inhibited the prescribed jazz magic that this recording was supposed to reveal. It did not grab me and pull me in as an outsider, which I think makes a remarkable album. I wanted to be seduced by layers of jazz improvisation and synergy, but left wondering why this album just be listened to before the end.

Pleasant but lacked some spice. No horns. Would not listen again.

Way out!!!

Fine, but very light. The feature instrument is something like vibes and just has a very smooth, flat sound with little attack. It’s an odd choice of instrument to feature on an all-instrumental album, because it leads to an extremely low-energy, slapped-out vibe that, there’s no way around it, sounds like elevator music / being put on hold. Nothing wrong with what they’re doing, just anything that’s this close to 0/10 on excitement factor isn’t for me.
