[Tango-L] New Gotan Project release

Tue May 2 13:43:19 EDT 2006

Hi,
Lunático is not the second album of Gotan Project, it is the third.  
The second is  the double CD  "Inspiracion Espiracion".

Most of the time I miss musical content in the "electronic tango".  
Take the first Gotan project CD - the shortest title is 4:11, the  
longest 8:26. The latter is three times longer than a traditional  
tango and does not really contain more musicalwise. For me this makes  
it very tiring to dancing to this music, as it does not inspire me  
sufficiently for lasting that long. I don't think the pieces would  
really loose a lot when one takes out 2 minutes or so of the  
repetitive parts. And that also applies to some other songs from  
other electronic tango bands.

A band where I don't have that feeling that much is for example otros  
aires.

Regards from Munich
Ralph
