4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, February 11, 2004

You've probably heard people say in response to something, "mmmmmm, that 's interesting." Pretty much that is the response you will have after listening to this disc that it is not tremendous on either side of the spectrum but good nontheless. It is much like Gotan Project's "La Revancha Del Tango." Comparing the two, since they seem to be the only groups exploring this side of the tango(a mixture of electronica elements, genre's and sub-genre's) I'd have to tip my hat to BTC mostly because of the production skills of Santoalalla( most everything he touches is gold) that results in a slick musical stew like some type of noveau French cuisine. This music is extremely relaxing with a sort of don't wake me up from this musical trip to lands unknown. In other words it is a little spacey but has just enough tango to keep your heart ticking, head swaying and wondering what curve is coming next on this musical journey. It is very eclectic and that is what makes it so interesting, there is that word again. There are dark passages along the way but overall this is a bright addition to the ever expanding electronica field. It many respects it is an entry into chill out music. When it is more upbeat, (check out the editorial review) remember the music is all over the map, it is as fresh as any dance music out there. Maybe it is my being partial to the female voice but when they cut into "Perfume"it sends my heart a reeling. The result is a song that sounds intoxicating. The bandeon throughout keeps the tango vibe, but the piano work binds it all together for a surreal atmospheric experience; it is like sipping a martini at the milky way cafe as a seductress approaches and you offer her a rose and she places it between her teeth and smiles an invitation to tango. To really capture all the sounds that are weaved together this disc should be experienced with headphones a todo volumen(at full volume). There is enough variety on this disc to keep it from being repetitive as the various time changes, pacing and styles give it a flow that doesn't leave you bored. It is a fine example of the meshing of the old and the new for something very interesting, there's that word again. It won't blow you away but you will think it is , you guessed it , interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a start for the next tango revolution, November 26, 2003

My first contact with this music was watching Mariano "Cicho" Frumboli and Eugenia dancing to "Bruma" at a tango festival, and I was just fascinated.
The potential in mixing tango with new sounds is overwhelming. So I bought the CD - and was a little bit disappointed.
The only track that is "alive", is actually "Bruma", the rest is more or less (quite nice) trip-hop/house music with some tango samples that never taps the full potential of this fascinating mix.
Anyhow - I would buy the CD again. Get it, listen to "Bruma" and hope with me that there will be more music like this one.
Note for Tango-DJ's: Unfortunately most tracks are not
danceable for the dancer at a milonga.

4.0 out of 5 stars A musical collective the puts together one fine blend, February 3, 2006

I've had Bajofondo Tango Club on my watchlist for a while. But recently discovering that Gustavo Santaolalla's label was behind this effort was the key to making me check them out. This is a musical collective from Argentina that blends in styles you'd never imagine combined, and it does so both, in style and very effectively. Tango is balanced against trip hop yielding a new form of sensual chillout music that you will find appealing from the first note. While this, the first effort by Bajofondo Tango Club, works on so many levels, I recommend a bit more that you check out "Supervielle". It's a bit fresher and experimental.
