Editorial Review:
Released in Europe in 2001, La Revancha Del Tango's sexy combination of chillout programming and authentic tango music became a lounge favorite and led to massive sales. Lightning struck twice when it was released two years later in the States--the domestic debut attracted the attention of electronic music hipsters, tango freaks, and world music geeks. And rightfully so. The Gotan trio of Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Müller, and Eduardo Makaroff write the album's strongest material themselves, but their imaginative incorporation of Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge," Gato Barbieri's theme from the movie Last Tango In Paris and, not surprisingly, Astor Piazzolla's "Vuelvo Al Sur" into the Gotan world shows just how broad and inclusive their tastes really are. Naysayers may complain that this album can be heard in every hip restaurant and clothing boutique from Paris to Los Angeles, but sometimes the cream does rise to the top and gain mass acceptance, as it has here. Also includes a bonus disc of four remixes. --Tad Hendrickson
The debut by this Paris based trio is a relaxed blend of tango dance rhythms and Argentinean instrumentation. The group was brought together by their passion to combine sound with image and to marry electronic and acoustic music. They built on their house, dub, and hip-hop influenced productions by adding two of Argentina's finest tango musicians, the musical result being supremely distinctive, incorporating bandonion (a form of accordion), violin, and vocals. This release includes 2000's most memorable jazz-house hit, "Triptico", which has already sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. The US version features the original ten tracks from the European release, along with a special bonus disc of the "Santa Maria" video plus four audio tracks.

Rating:  - Shhh...close your eyes.....
....and you're dancing close to the most amazing partner...bodies one...breathing in unison...sliding your leg along your sexy partner's leg.... There isn't anything about this music that is short of sensual and erotic...you can almost feel their hand sliding gently down your neck.......
Reality now hits...urban, gently pulsing, sophisticated, character, soulful, reminiscent, erotic, and sensual are all words to describe this album....
I first heard Santa Maria a few ... Read More
Rating: - Great house/dance CD
Although this CD is more house music than I expected, I still liked it. Lunatico was more what I was looking for, and I prefered that one. However, both are great!
Rating:  - Wow!
This is great Tango dance music. I first heard a cut of it when our ballroom dance teacher used it . It was what I call a techno Tango number titled: Santa Maria(del Buen Ayre). If that doesn't put passion to your Tango as you dance with your partner, then nothing will. I had to have it and have never regretted it. Great music!
Rating: - Gotan Project
The Gotan Project has a very latin jazz feel. If you like to salsa dance or do the tango you will love the melodies and beats that this cd has to offer. If you like latin jazz you will appreciate the instruments used to create this wonderful cd. Now go buy it!
Rating: - Just Great
I first heard Gotan Project from a friend, and I just recently bought the CD, although I didn't know all that much about it. Well, it is just great, awesome sounds, very well created. I highly recommend it.
