Good guitar work. That’s all.
Listen to half of it, has an anxious to the music but I didn’t hate it, I think I would need to listen to more from that artist
Electronic + Tango. Chill vibes. Good music for a hot summer day while you smoke a joint.
kinda funny. Interesting at the least so I can respect that Will I listen to again: 0%
Eh, fine as background music. Some moments caught my attention and it wasn't a bad listen, but a whole album of tango (even if using more modern styles) is not really something I need to return to. Tracks that caught my attention: Una Música Brutal, La del Ruso.
this was a pretty cool listen, enjoyed a lot of the instrumental elements and the songs with vocals were dead cool aswell, what i imagine dancing the tango at warehouse project would feel like the female vocals gave a real oldschool jazz vibe, like mid 60s astrud gilberto to be specific (anything remotely close to stan getz samba gets my cock hard) great album to pull out for your spanish friend during his first trip on mushrooms, will definetly listen again 3.4/5 FTW
So This is the first time I've heard this and not understanding the lingo I can only judge it on the vibe it gave me. Nice sound, obviously latin but I felt that the accordion gave it a French feel (I also got melancholy dystopian "12 Monkey Vibes" throughout). There is an unresolved energy about the tracks giving a feeling that something is building. If I owned it I would play it a lot while I'm busy with work, but I don't.
This album has great music. Feels like it’s our of an ocean’s movie. However, it’s not something that I would want to listen to on purpose. 6/10.
meh. there must be some background lore as to why this is a must listen but whatevs
really cool find, enjoyed this
J - 3/5 Best Track - "Epoca" F - DNL
This would be a 4 star if it were half as long. The entire album is one idea, one sound, one very specific style. It's too monotonous after two tracks.
Good background music
i'm not really sure what this album is supposed to be or who it's for. it's not bad, just kinda... out there and baffling. if i want french electronica from the turn of the millennium, daft punk is right there. if i want south american bangers, there are tons of options on this list from elis regina to joão and bebel gilberto. i’m just not sure when i’m gonna reach for the gotan project and their “neotango” genre. but at least it's something different. favorites: queremos paz, época, santa maría (del buen ayre)
It was fine background music.
Although it's hard to rank highly an ambience-type of album, this is definitely one of the better ones in this collection, with a nice European touch of accordions blended with electronic-oriented music. I'm pretty sure I haven't really heard anything from Gotan Project, or this album in particular, so it was fun to hear these tracks for the first time; I particularly enjoyed "Epoca", "Triptico" and "El capitalismo foraneo", as well as the video and music for "Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre)" (although I was also struck at how similar this track sounds to their excellent remixed version of "Whatever Lola wants" on the 2003 album "Verve: Remixed 2"). I'm a bit confused by the fact that Gotan Project is listed as a France-based band, as everything seems to be in Spanish, but maybe that's just a Euro-thing? And I suppose also due to their focus on Argentinian tango as the driving force (and why they're named the tango-anagrammed "Gotan").
enjoyed this album but not sure I'd listen again.
Cool background music
eh its fine. Seems like background tracks for parts of a James Bond movie. The spansih behind it is nice, not much else though.
Boring background music. The beats are so basic on this it’s ridiculous. The Spanish (?) is nice but that’s all it’s got going for it plus it’s waaaaay too long
Fun listen but nothing special for me
Vibes were nice, but nothing really stood out to me.
7/10
Good stuff
honestly, this album really grew on me as it went on. not sure if i would necessarily jump back into it, but i think this would be a beautiful background music section for a dinner party. you could really stunk on folks by pulling this up
Very unique sounding electronic music. After some time it did start getting tiring, with it just repeating the same couple of bars for 6 minutes straight with little change.
Tämähän oli mainiota rytmi/konemusaa tangomeiningillä.
Its 2004. You walk into an express to buy jeans and a going out top. This album is playing. You go to the Starbucks to get a cappuccino. This album is playing. You got to a borders to buy Harry Potter for your nerdy niece and left behind for your prepper grandpa. This album is playing. Spiritually this album is just what commerce sounded like 20 to 25 years ago. This 3 stars is really 2.75.
Soigne et intéressant, mais un peu froid à mon avis
Okay background music, but I felt I should be watching some avant garde art house film about the streets of Paris after dark.
certainly unique, elevator music vibes... overall i did not hate my listening experience, at times it was even enjoyable Fav tracks: Epoca - creeping ballroom tango with dancing instrumental on top of swaying strings Santa Maria - energetic (comparatively) with a driving bass line and nice percussion
Best Song: Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre). Nice and groovy. Worst Song: La Del Ruso. A bit too jazzy for my taste. Overall: Very chill, relaxed album. Nice for having on in the background or while working, but also not so special that I'll come back to it often.
I ultimately like my tango less electronic and my electronica less tango-y.
I like the fiddle and it has some neat parts. Just drags at times and get somewhat repetitive. It has some jazzy influence when aren't always my favorite but its not bad.
Solid instrumental jams. None particularly stand out as hit tracks, but some stand out for being slightly odder than the rest. Heavy use of instruments like accordion, mouth organ(?), and some distinctive light-texture percussion definitely give this group a unique sound. Where the music falls flat is in its compositions. Structurally, the songs are pretty weak and tough to sing along to or cover (as another band). Each track bounces from idea to idea without ever really settling, which makes for a frustrating listen. There's a reason why ABAB song structures do better than ABCD on the charts. In general, there isn't a "head" or riff/hook that is returned to or developed in any of these pieces, which also separates it from the jazz genre. I guess I'm not really sure what Gotan Project is going for here. In Época, we witness an accordion being used for the first of many times throughout the album. It's also a good example of my earlier point about song structure. There's some instrumental, then two verses, then a completely different instrumental (idea-wise). Wacky, and also difficult to jibe with. Chunga's revenge, a Frank Zappa cover, still has one of the best song titles I've ever heard, and is coupled with some odd yet endearing vocalising. I was able to tell people nearby that I was listening to a song called Chunga's revenge (and certainly gained some coolness points in the process). Tríptico is a solid track but feels a little weaker than the rest because of its over-reliance on that guitar riff and corresponding synth backing. Santa Maria has a fresh and well-produced sound. The percussion is some of the best here. And the light interaction between different instrument melodies is fun. Vuelvo Al Sur has the most vocals of any track – and props to the singer, because she's great. 3/5 Key tracks: Chunga's revenge, Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre), Vuelvo Al Sur
Este álbum literal son tangos mezclados con electrónica, una forma muy buena de hacer que se siga escuchando el tango de una forma mas moderna, lo unico ‘malo’ que tengo para decir es que puede parecer un poco música de fondo o ambiente
good
Lovely mellow, jazzy, mostly instrumental stuff. The vibes are great and it's nice background music that's not too distracting, but it's also not something I'd necessarily reach for when I'm looking for something to listen to.
A combination of electronica and Latin sounds brings this album to a relaxing experience, loved the feeling throughout and how it can be listened without feeling like it drags. Will listen to it more times, to understand it more. Recommended!
Always cool to get something I've never heard of. This is like electronic loungey tango music. It sounds pretentious and it is. It sounds like something that would play in a swanky European hotel, like Hotel Costes or something. And there's a cover of the Last Tango In Paris theme. I liked it, honestly. The late '90s and early 2000s were so fucking weird! I wish I liked it more because unfortunately it really does sound like hotel music, but I do appreciate the novelty of it. After nonstop Kinks and Willie Nelson and Pink Floyd and ZZ Top it was nice to get something actually different for once.
Today I realised that gotan is tango backwards
Actually, this was pretty chill. Not as jazzy, not as world, just good working music.
2.9 I was listening to this in the background while at work. It was great background music for me but it would probably stay just that.
Tres francais. Interesting and familiar with pieces I was familiar with from pop culture but not one I'd sit down to again.
This was fine to listen to. Didn't really grab my attention.
To be clear, this is very much not my thing. That being said it was good! Not great, and I doubt I'll listen to it again but it was a cool song with a great fusion. Glad it made the list. 6/10
3 - cool, feels parisian
Cruise vibes but gets a bit samey after a while.
great restaurant music
Enjoyed this, but it kinda faded into the background after a while. A lot of songs that wouldn't sound out of place in a cafe on the continent, circa 2005. I like the fusion of genres, some of the songs are a bit dated though. I remember hearing a lot of music like this around the turn of the millennium. Kind reminds me of the Ministry of Sound chill mixes too.
Trip hop beats and tango tunes make a dinner-party or coffee shop album every bit as successful as you would think.
This is a combination I never would have thought of, South American music combined with trip-hop style beats, and it works quite well - especially in that opening track. It's just way, way too long. You can cut some songs down by 3 minutes, it's way better. It's too samey to be an hour long
That's not my taste in music - But ok
I can understand the esteem, but not really my thing for a full album hang.
Hipster hotel lounge background music. Not bad per se, but not particularly interesting.
Latin Portishead vibes.
Fun, nostalgic, I enjoy the blending of genres but it’s hard to sit through this album from start to finish. It’s also the kind of music I would expect to hear at a club.
I thought it was good background music. Didn’t feel like the main act of any experience.
Ihanaa respectful kolmosta
I'll probably never listen to this again, but it was a fun album for the ride home. Nice grooves.
On hold music, it was relaxing to listen to, but its not something I would seek out to listen on my own.
6/10 Pretty interesting, overstays its welcome for a project of this type, though I still appreciate the interesting blends of Electronic music and Tango omg everyone want me
Pretty good
Some cool tunes, good background music for work or chores.
When I was little a couple of these songs were used in washing machine commercials and I unfortunately can't listen to this album without visualizing squeaky clean plates and gleaming pipes. Other than that it's uhhh pleasant sounding and inoffensive. Perfect as retro coffee shop background music. Fave track: Santa Maria
Rating: 6/10 French electronic music that clearly sounds French.
Pretty chill electronica, not chaotic or noisyike a lot of other stuff from the era. I like the use of different instruments over the qlbum, like I think an accordion in the opening song, Queremos Paz. Unfortunately much of this album blended in for mw and I didn't recall a lot of what I'd heard. But i know I enjoyed it throughout, so 3 stars.
Hotel lobby music. Was a 2 but they did Zappa so it's a 3
Really cool
What I imagine walking around France sounds like.
An upgrade from regular background music.
Of course I don’t understand all of this. But there were moments I totally locked into this. 3/5
Feels like a what they play in the toilets at French Nando’s. Decent vibes but really samey. Fav song- triptico Least fav - vuelvo al sur Specific rating 3.4
Pretty alright for studying music, but wouldn't really listen for any other purpose
интересная хуйня, будто скушал таблеточку и закусил круассаном
Pleasant electronic music album with a European tango twist to it. Different than any other electronic album I’ve heard so it was pretty interesting overall. Can imagine this was on in the background of the odd hip dinner party hang. Doubtful I’ll return to it but I did enjoy it enough for sure. 3 stars
Interesting.
Background music
Un álbum muy original a la vez que tremendamente monótono. El tango y la electrónica downtempo se fusionan con muy buen gusto, haciendo de este un álbum perfecto para tenerlo de fondo. Pero, habiendo escuchado una canción, te puedes ahorrar el resto. Tres estrellas, más que nada, por ser algo bastante diferente a lo que esta lista me tiene acostumbrado.
It was fine.
I've learned that I generally like French music when it pops up on this list. This album, however, I really don't know what to make of. It doesn't sound particularly inventive from a musical standpoint, since it feels more like they are trying to imitate an earlier style of popular french music. Mixing that with electronica is interesting, I suppose, but it starts to sound very samey after a while. It's pleasant enough, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of it 3/5
I really enjoyed this! The instrumentals were interesting and incorporated a lot of sounds. Not usually huge on electronic music but this was a solid album.
nice ambiant music. listen while working and did the job
Oh no. The "legacy" of this album is that it's included in this list. I was worried! But it wasn't as bad as I expected.
Tango meets electronica. At first I was reminded of the type of world music CDs that you could buy at Starbucks twenty years ago. But it got better overtime. Easy to listen to in the background.
Electronica meets vaguely “world music.” Interesting samples and overlays. Good as cafe music, to create a vibe — or slower pieces in ecstatic dance, I guess? Creative and interesting enough to earn a 3.
Soundtrack to the speedboat ride from Monaco to Cannes, watching the Côte d'Azur drift past as you head towards the setting sun
Meh
I'm a solid Xenial. A few years ago, I had a girlfriend who was a youngish Millennial. I used to play downtempo music like this in the background when we were hanging out. She called it 90s coffee shop music, and she did not mean that in a good way. Even though this is an album from 2001, I think it would have certainly fit into that category. I enjoyed it, but it's best for the background, and maybe don't play it for anyone under 40. Three stars.
was a good easy-listening background music
An interesting blend of genres that fills a niche interest. It is educational in showing how old genres can be given more appeal. But it remains a situational music with a time and place.
Pleasant instrumental (if words they were in foreign language and just blended with rest of music).nothing stood out except the artists name.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Not bad background music for work.
I sadly didn’t manage to finish this album. It’s nice and I don’t always need lyrics to stay focus. But here… omg, it was just awful to my ears. At some point, the songs started sounding the exactly same.
2.5
Background music but good background music
3 stars for the creativity
Alko hyvin mutta lässähti, liian samankaltaista
Very nice. Loved the rhythm, track and listening to lyrics and the language other than English. Was it French?
3.5 Really cool but a little sleepy for me
Mellow as hell, i liked it. I almost forgot i had it on, while i was working it just became the soundtrack for my morning
Vibey maar niet helemaal mijn ding
Fun, but nothing showstopping.
Cool jazzy beats with some interesting covers.
Boring but not awful which is saying something considering some of the other albums I’ve reviewed
Weer heel wat anders. Lekker hoor. 3,5/5
not bad, nice tango rhythm
The music is unique enough. They've got a trip-hop vibe going on. There are some cool Latin influences in the guitar playing and I dig the Spanish vocals. They keep it French, adding accordion over the songs. They mix the accordion with a delay pedal a lot which adds to a cool psychedelic effect. Overall there wasn't enough variety between the songs
A well produced and good mix of instrumental. Long and not dynamic enough for my taste. Not worth a relisten, but not bad.
Had no idea I liked tango music like this- great to work to. Highlights include: “Queremos Paz” “Chunga’s Revenge” “El Capitalismo Foráneo” “Last Tango in Paris” and “Vuelvo al Sur”
6/10
ok , listenable
Inoffensive.
Overall: 5/10 This is the kind of music I picture being played in the background of a Bond film where he spends most of the runtime seducing ladies across South America. Cool concept to mix Dub and Tango music, it's just not something I see myself coming back to. Good music for studying or relaxing. Fav Song: Tríptico Least Fav Song: Una Música Brutal
Interessante Musik. Mag ich.
I appreciate it as an instrumental but forgettable sound, ultimately.
Good background music. Mix of EDM and tango. Odd combination. It kind of works, but it’s not very exciting. Did I need to hear this? No. Did I mind hearing this? No. Favorite song: la del Ruso
Really strange one this. Listened to it in a couple of goes due to time constraints. And it's a great album ...... for a couple of tracks, then it all gets a bit samey. Still I can't help feeling it's worth more than a 2, so 3 it is.
I really enjoyed that and massively didn’t expect to! I listened whilst driving and my pre-conception was that I could rattle through it by listening to a bit, then skipping forward, and get to the next album on the list as I’m a couple behind. But, I didn’t skip anything. Although tempted at times on some of the very long tracks. Found it hypnotic and interesting. Female vocalist was cool. If I hadn’t have been driving, I might just have grabbed a rose to hold between my teeth and sweep my Doris off her feet. Thank God for the A420 from Swindon to Oxford. It saved her from potentially the worst hour of her life.
Good lo-fi tunes, I actually don't hate it ⭐⭐⭐
Really cool vibe and production. Possibly a taaaad too similar across a whole record, but I dig it. Favourite tracks: Queremos Paz, Época (swear this is off some advert), Chunga's Revenge.
Interesting style, very unique. Some of the tracks could have been a minute or two shorter.
Liked parts of this album. Seemed to have a lot of dub influence mixed with Latin music. I think I even heard a melodica in there. It does taper off in the second half and become more electronic focused. A little too long as well. 3/5 Might listen again
Great accordion and generally interesting sound but half way through I got soo bored
I realise that the perfect time to listen to this is while sitting in a pompous cinema lobby, as I sit in a pompous cinemas lobby listening to this.
Didn't listen to all of it but enjoyed what I did.
It is yet another electronica album, but the tango flourishes make it a bit more interesting than some of the others.
Never heard of this, but was really decent background music. Nothing I would turn to though. 3/5
Solid background music.
Pretty fun
not bad
A modern update of the classic South American/European tango as filtered through modern electronic production techniques. Interesting, from a technical point of view but loses its emotional impact the longer the album goes on. My favorite track: "Triptico"
Some cool ass Electronica Tango with a surprise Frank Zappa cover thrown in there. We have been on a roll with some worldly music recently. This dragged on a bit long with the repetitive music but each song was pretty unique and was great for having on in the background
Latin, Tango, soft, 2001 -> 3
Allright but got boring
I liked this. It's got interesting rhythms and is a bit hypnotic. I'm having a hard time giving it a four, though, as it's sort of aural wallpaper.
I was expecting some Buddha-Bar level inoffensive lounge music but this is slightly more interesting than that. Not by much, but sometimes the tango elements blend well with the electronic music background.
Latin jazz/hip hop beats combination. Cool combo. It surprisingly had a good variety of different sounds throughout the songs. Cool stuff overall, but not quite my thing. Standouts: Queremos Paz, Epoca, Santa Maria, and Vuelvo Al Sur
Nice background music, but don't know why it is on this list.
Sounds like music that would be playing in a luxury hotel's lobby. I guess the fusion of tango and electronic is cool? Low three.
nice trip hop tango album??? super cool music but a bit repetitive and not really my genre tbh. but it’s cool and nice.
Too long but some good songs.
Enjoyable background music
An interesting Argentinian Salsa electronic vibe. It wasn't 100% my style but the instrumentation was wonderful. Standouts: Triptico and Queremos Paz.
A pleasant enough listen. I’ll never queue it up - but it would be great atmosphere/background music for a restaurant or a social gathering.
Some international baby making music.
Actually a pretty nice album. I had a very low expectation for this and so I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty mid still, but nice tango-ey vibes, definitely a great listen if you just leave it in the background.
It's basically the Ocean's 12 soundtrack
Really glad I listened to this. Not my thing, but I loved the first song and appreciate the genre fusion experimentation
Nice ambient Latin electronica? Cool. Will listen again.
Stylish and sets a mood - but I don't hear what sets it apart from the atmospheric sea of electronic chill-out world music of the late 90s /early 2000s (think Buddha Bar and Cafe del Mar compilations).
I didn't do anything to tango, why does it want revenge? First track, I hate the dated and easy loungecore backing beats, did someone just press 'demo' on the synthesiser. I love the tango but this just drains the life out of everything. Ah, I recognise Epoca. Fair enough. Still dated, but decent. I mellowed on the production after a bit. La Musica Brutale is also good. Ends strong on the last two proper tracks (before the fairly generic chill-house remixes). Vuelva Al Sur a good moody evening track. A decent, if not especially essential listen.
Good background working music. No complaints, but nothing stood out.
This is another great example of an album I had no knowledge of, that I believe fully earns its spot on this list. I don’t care how people feel about this kind of music. It appeals to me in a very particular way. Fair warning, if you are looking for something that is really going to engage you through your whole listen, maybe pass on this one. I’ve often found electronic music, and things adjacent to said genre, to be really great for background music. Like studying and stuff. I know for a fact I’m not alone in this either. Lofi hip-hop isn’t electronic, but those 24/7 live streams exist for a reason. And this album definitely falls into that category of music. Someone described it as high quality phone hold music and I love that comparison. They aren’t even far off either. The production and elements being pieced together actually sound really good. I love the use of real live instrumentation, like the keyboards, double bass and violin. Plus another great thing about electronic and downtempo music is how infinitely versatile and unique it can be. When combined with other things, the possibilities are basically endless. For some reason, I’ve been getting more and more familiar with tango music recently through the list. And this is categorized as electrotango, which obviously combines the two genres. And the Latin feel of this, plus the mild World music inspiration gives this a totally different vibe. Queremos Paz is a fantastic way to start. My biggest issue is the length. This is nearly an hour long, and by the half way most of what it is has to say has been said. It gets pretty stale towards the end. But there are a few highlights spread through out. Rating: 6/10
Fine I guess. A little annoying while I was trying to work though
It's fine, could be setbreak music. Are they pioneers in the use if accordion in electronic music? It's certainly possible
Pretty forgettable. I like how it's tango and somehow always has a French accent even when instrumental. 6/10 Pretty sure this was on repeat in every hipster coffee shop for 20 years
La Revancha del Tango is cool music to play in the background of your wine party but it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
Favourite song - Last tango in Paris
Pretty but I don't go crazy for instrumental albums.
cool sounds
7.7/10.
Easy listening tango adaptations, just on the good side of boring.
Although I enjoyed this very chilled out music, Parisian style I did find it quite repetitive. Similar beat and musical notes throughout. Should it be in on this list though 🤔
As another review put it: top tier phone hold music. Elevator music, ambience, whatever you wanna call it; it was nice in the background for an hour. There were some points that stuck out but honestly couldn’t tell you what songs those points were on.
Not a bad listen.
Lovely listen - was a sunny Sunday afternoon though - might not be so apt on a wet November Monday
Kind of fun at first, but it got a bit tiresome after a while.
Not my usual thing. Pretty good.
Yeah, this is ok. I'm not sure what metric I should go by, but this is fine. it's not groundbreaking or anything but it's ok. I don't know if I should say uninspired, because I don't know the history of the album. I'll give it a solid ok—if you couldn't tell.
Nice background music
Just a tad to repetitive to be amazing, but can float away in this.
French electronica tango? okay sign me up. This was really odd. cool ambient piece though, nice background for like a nice quiet evening at home.
Who would have ever imagined accordions and electronica could mix. It mostly worked I think, but it did get a bit samey by the end.
Intressant koncept, kanske det blir lite enformigt men tyckte det var bra
Pretty cool. No need to translate; funked along nicely.
Decent background music. Kind of seems like a progenitor of lo-fi in a lot of ways.
it was quite fresh at first, but it never develops on the idea, its very repetitive YNN
Interesing concept for a couple of songs but not a whole album
Tangos are never a bad idea.
Nice idea
Too longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!
Bueno
“Hey, Gotan Project. Make me a soundtrack for a chilled out party but make it so everyone is reminded of 12 Monkeys.”
Gear: Hifiman Arya Artwork: auf den zweiten Blick ganz entzückend Mix: Everything in Its Right Place Musik: Café del Mar Ibiza Chillout Mix No. 19425 Wertung: ☕☕☕/5
Trip Hop and Latin infused tango music made by a French outfit seems like an absolutely ridiculous concept, yet this works surprisingly well. Although this was an interesting listen and a nice change of pace, I doubt I would ever listen to it again. It really became monotonous after a while.
I really enjoyed this!
Wow, never listened to this group or this type of music before. Interesting!
Liked Songs Queremos Paz Época
Non-english, non-instrumental album on this list is a rare for me. This one is just tangoing around with sensual sounds of accordion. 3.5/5.
Ugh. Saw the title and artist and had never heard of it. I hope this isn't another electronica album, I thought. I opened the album on Tidal and looked at the track listing — Hmm, maybe a South American rock band or something? I thought, hopefully. Nope. French electronica. Gahhhhh. I'll admit, it's not the worst electronica album ever (I'll also admit I didn't really listen to this but skipped around through each song because I'm not doing more electronica). It's actually real music, with songs that have progressions and don't just repeat the same loops incessantly. And there are actually some songs with sung lyrics in Spanish. But there's also so much French accordion. And very similar trip-hoppy beats on every song. It all sounds like variations of the same song. 3/5 and that's generous
has a nice latin feel to it, even though it's french
Cool enough in the background, not sure I'd ever want to listen to it in isolation tho. I wish it was a little bit shorter too. Fav songs: - El Capitalismo Foráneo
Interesting like a soundtrack to a foreign film where I have no idea what’s going on but don’t even think of turning off.
Några låtar var tuffare andra mer ingenting
Good but samey.
Digging it - 3.5 stars
5/10 Ok doke 5-22-2024
Molto ascoltabile
Nice change of pace.... great beats
Nice to work to, but when the work stops, the stop button is pushed.
I am moving to Argentina on the force of this album alone.
Fine background music. I got a bit tired of it by Last Tango in Paris.
One of "Best of figure skating" albums
Cool mix of electronic and tango, and love the dark synths. Reminds me of some early Gorillaz production (ie Latin Simone) (3.5/5)
I was ready to give this 1 star based on the album cover alone but turns out this is pretty fun spanish music for all occasions!
Neat idea. But doesn't go beyond that. A little long and good for the background but nothing more than that.
This is perhaps my top non-English album thus far in the project. Some very solid jams on this. I don't think I'll return to it, but it was still a very enjoyable listen.
Meh
Enjoyed this one a lot. Sounds like music from movies. Is French Latin music a thing?? I dig it. 3.25
I enjoy this, but don’t think I’ll be listening again because I feel like I got it. Nothing more I could really get from this album. It’s good, but simple. Maybe they’re able to expand, but did not on this project which leaves it feeling like a base coat with VERY minimal details. Nothing I didn’t like, but not enough here to like. 3/5
Well crafted, just not my thing.
Good for background
No lo termine, muy repetitivo, redundante
I like it. I don't love it. It's good for what it is, and I did like a fair bit of this genre back in the day. But it seems like if you've heard one of these albums you've heard them all. If you like the sound, that's great, but there's not much of interest going on musically, and lyrically, well it's in French. Probably an excellent example of the style, but this would be background music for me, and even then I probably wouldn't bother.
Honestly not bad. Enjoyed this Spanish album
Thoughts before listening: No idea what this is. I'm assuming some sort of techno/EDM record. Being from 2001 I might have some connection to the sound having heard it at a club or something, but this was never really my scene. Review: This is pleasant enough although not my style. More ambient background music than the more hard dance I was expecting. I enjoyed listening to this while working, but I'm not adding any of this to my playlist. 3-stars
Big Fenton vibes
Very fun and energetic songs, excellent dance music. Unfortunately I do feel that the songs all sound the same and run together with their longer lengths, which makes it not ad enjoyable to sit and listen to
Nice ambient music but not something I want to listen to a full album for. A lot of the songs sounds like they’ve been featured in movie soundtracks!
A pleasant surprise
This is going to completely mess up my algorithm now that it’s going to play on repeat throughout the day
It’s good. Really good. But it also really feels like background music
Mjög töff tónlist sem var mjög gaman að kynnast.
Interesting enough for a 3.
For the first run it seems like background-music but it is better than that. It has a nice groove and is instrumentally very good. A mixture between traditonal elements, jazz and club music.
Its so of its time and was so played out I cant quite get into it.
Groovy instrumental stuff, a few familiar tracks surprisingly. I'd give this a 3.5 if I could.
Electronic jazz sounds cool in theory. The execution leaves a lot to be desired.
the instrumentals wow??? so dancey and chill i loved this 3.5/5
This was fun. The mix of Tango and some EDM-style beat sounds worse than it actually was. I guess it will do perfectly as work music.
Latina funk, wasn't bad at all, decent summer background music
Innocuous enough lounge music. Saved it for future listening. Is its inclusion on the 1001 list just due to representing the genre?
3.1/5 Best Track: Queremos Paz
Kuulostaa kuin sama biisi jatkuisi läpi levyn mutta ei ihan kuitenkaan. Tässä tapauksessa ei haittaa. Tykkään kovasti! Dramatiikasta, naislaulajan äänestä. Ehkä auttaa, että oon tanssinut näitä - ja mihin muuhun nää ois tarkoitettukaan. Miks ranskalaiset osaa tällaset konseptilevyt mut ei mitään muuta.
Okay I'll never come back to this, but I gotta give it cudos for being an inspiration for the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Soundtrack.
This was interesting. Mostly instrumental, French. I liked the way the drums sound. Probably not something I would go back to.
Unmemorable electronic music. Stand-out: Last Tango in Paris Score correction (misclick): Wild Gift - X (3*)
It was an easy listen.
Liked this one. Energetic and fun to listen to.
Lite smooth att ha i bakgrunden. Påminde en del om Guacamelee, nice på sitt sätt
Pretty chill instrumental stuff
A beautiful ambient mesh of tango with a flair of mixed samples and beats.
3.75
I actually did enjoy this, but it went on too long and I don’t think it’s much more than interesting background music.
Finnish dishwater tablets did an advert with a song that was pretty catchy and chill....yeah that but a whole album of it. Despite that, it's not bad it veers on dull at times but I can see it being great background music at like a refined dinner with people who use too many knifes and forks
Great album with lots of interesting, highly varied tango tracks
Lively tango album. Not sure I got it.
It’s nice background music if you’re doing jobs around the house. Fine musicians and good rhythms.
A genre described as ‘Tango’ wouldn’t be my go-to, but I really liked this album. Great musicianship and layers of sound. Pretty decent!
I love when people experiment with combing genres. It was a cool mix between trip hop and tango, nice to have in the background but i don't know if i will listen to it again. But i wouldn't mind it being played.
This was just ok for me. It's good for what it is but I would never choose this to listen to.
Pleasant
They were having a lot of fun! This was entirely too long!
Pretty groovy, but nothing stellar.
decent background working music but pretty repetitive
The auditory experience of French indie cinema of the time. Not intended as a dunk, frankly I prefer it this way. Good to put on for a vibe, but not the most enjoyable album experience. Clocking in at 1 1/2 hours, I don’t really know that it was meant to be. Good for what it is.
It's an instrumental album
Iberian accordion music over rock-beat vamps. Not objectionable. The improvisations are pretty good. Low key vibes. Better than I expected
interesting, experimental. kinda trippy. but weird that they are french?
Great background noise. Listened while I was coding and it was easy to get in the zone. Not sure I'd ever listen to this outside of that context though because I think I'd get a bit bored. A lot of the songs feel repetitive. I haven't been paying close attention but I feel like I keep noticing some repetition between the songs.
Pretty cool stuff. Not inherently enough of my thing to give it the extra half star bump here, but it's solid nonetheless. 3.5/5
I'm never quite sure how to rate albums that are well-made, well-executed, but just not for me. I enjoyed my listen on this one just fine, but I can't see myself revisiting it. Maybe for the instrumental playlist I have for work? Some of these tracks were groovy, even danceable. Other tracks made me feel like I was sitting in the waiting room for my therapy appointment. I can't in good conscience give this anything lower than a three.
songs blended into each other a bit and felt a bit repetitive at times, would make for a beautiful movie soundtrack. enjoyed having in the background while working.
Electronica und Tango fusionieren hier zu einem Fußwipper-Album, dass man gut nebenher hören kann. Ein paar extrem bekannte Tracks drauf. 2,5
2.9 per track. Pretty good actually but for background music. Not sure I'd ever put this on to actually listen to.
3,5. kaffihús, notalegt. tangórafræna.
Didn't even get an actual tattoo for the cover? Sometimes I doubt your committment to Gotan Project.
Almost 4 stars. Quite interesting.
Kind of nice elevator music.
Nice elevator music for listening to in the background while I study
Helt ok. Bitvis lite mycket dragspel, men ingenting wow. Spanskt är bevisligen inte lika intressant som franskt.
Good. See /albums80 for more info
Have not heard of this band before but dayummm, I really dig this album but it kinda deduct a star for being super repetitive. Its still groovy tho!
Tää oli jotenkin ihan joka paikassa kun tää julkaistiin, vaikka itse löysin tämän toki myöhemmin. Ehkä tän on kuunnellut vähän liian monta kertaa jotta jaksais täysillä innostua. Hieno levy siitäkin huolimatta joka on paikkansa ansainnut. Ehkä tää on aiheuttanut vaan ähkyn. Ja onhan tää vähän one trick pony. 3/5
Tosi kiinnostava, tykkään. Ehkä vähän liian turvallinen pidemmän päälle. Olisi voinut kääntyä jazziin tai kokeelliseen teknoon enemmän. Siksi jää kolmeen.
Chill house type music with a Latin or French flare. Not bad
I like this kind of music, but find the album unexceptionle
Relaxing and pleasant 3.5/5
Enjoyed the vibe then about 2/3 of the way through it felt very repetitive and skipped the last 1/3.
It was just like everyone said a background music album but it was enjoyable i have to say
First song was very promising - a nice and quite original mix of electronic music and latino rhytms. Melody was as catchy as the beat. But for the rest of the album, so another 50 minutes or so, I felt like I'm listening to the remix of that song in few different versions. It was repetitive and tiring, it just seemed like Gotan Project took a nice idea for a song and made a full record out of it. Overall, it wasn't too good, but wasn't that bad either, definitely I had worse experience with other albums like that.
Spanish
Quite enjoyable
Cat: this is the music they play on the resort tvs on the guide channel. Cool moooooood music tho
Accordian-focused instrumentals on mellow percussion tracks. Good background music
I was not expecting to like this, but it was pretty good! 3 stars.
This was kind of fun as background music, a total mood of an album. A little goes a long way though. Fave Songs: Queremos Paz, Santa María (del Buen Ayre), Vuelvo al Sur, Tríptico
Te gek! Door die coole beats werd dit echt tof om naar te luisteren. Voor herhaling vatbaar.
Ik heb een zwak voor tango muziek.
Áhugavert. Rosa mikið 2000 ambient væb með skemmtilegu tvisti.
Interesting in an average way, definitely in a bit of an ebb album wise lately
I'm on my annual biking trip, and there was neither wifi nor available cellphone network where slept last night. Sitting this one out. Will listen to it later. Have enough memories of Gotan Project to know it's not my thing though... Neutral 3/5 grade. Number of albums left to review: less than half. This one goes to my "waiting list" (neither nor...). Next please.
Interesting and unique. Not an every day listener for me.
“La Revancha del Tango,” that is a little pretentious name for a record not released by Gardel, even more pretentious for a non-Argentinian artist. It is a fun album, to be honest; something to put as background music, do your stuff, and somehow feeling sophisticated while doing it. I don’t think it as either innovative or influential, so it ranks low on those boards. Should I listen to it before dying? Don’t know, maybe to feed a little my inner snob self?
Melancholisch
Inoffensive and chilled beats. Much better examples of the genre around that time for me though
Listened Before? N Another instrumental - In a way I'm glad it's not filled with a ton of French vocals. This album was pretty okay. Good background music for working. It feels a bit like a movie soundtrack most of the time. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Santa Maria
Like other people have said, it’s good background or hold music but nothing life changing
This was ok. I would probably have been interested in this if was released a few years earlier when I was into DJing “cool music” at “cool bars”. Not very exciting to me in 2023 though.
