Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
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

Astonishing, breathtaking music I could not stop listen to.... (2008-02-12)  Astonishing, breathtaking music I could not stop listen to....It must be the next generation of tango. If you like tango and you are young in your hart- you will love it!
Tango's Revenge (2004-07-13) I think it is one of the three records that redifine the concept of electrotango, like Bajo Fondo Tango Club and Tanghetto- Emigrante (electrotango). Santa Maria is a hit, Queremos paz is a great song, and all the songs in this record are incredible.
Sexy, addictive, cool music! (2004-04-05) By now you probably know that the Gotan Project is a fusion of electronica and tango ("gotan" is "tango" rearranged). I have no exposure to tango music, nor was I specifically looking for such. Instead, I was in search of downtempo, lounge-type music and accidentally stumbled across La Revancha del Tango. What a CD! I love all 10 tracks. There's a fair amount of bass beats, but the tempo is mostly slow (I assume this is tango). Not many vocals are found (but are in Spanish) and there's some vocal samples which I can't identify...but it doesn't matter; it's the sound and the mood which are entirely sexy and addictive. I listen to this CD all the time now. One surprise is the cover of Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge." Yes, it's Zappa and somehow it works! The bonus disc has some remixes that are a bit too fast for my current interest in downtempo music and not as good as the originals on disc 1, IMO. However, the video for "Santa Maria" on the bonus disc is really great. It's very sexy and stylish, just like GP's music. Shot in B&W w/ an obvious lean towards cubism and patterns, it puts a smile on your face.
Great CD! (2004-03-28) I first heard "Vuevo al sur" on my Musicmatch radio station and after hearing "Triptico" I knew I had to buy the CD. I really enjoy the CD and it's great background/party music. Not all of the songs are as hypnotic as my 4 favorites (the above two, Santa Maria, and Chunga's Revenge), but the video on the extra disc makes it worth 5 stars! Also, a note for the music fan from Lemon Cove, CA: "tango" is actually described as a Latin American genre and the word has numerous meanings. We are most familiar with the international definition of the tango, which would be Argentinean. There is, however, a "tango" tradition in Brazil, such as the 'tango brasileiro' (check out Darius Milhaud's pieces based on Brazilian music). The Brazilian tango is based on the Cuban habanera, but nonetheless carries the title of "tango". So, according to your logic (as so eloquently stated in your review), the Russians may actually have their own style of caipirinha. Probably made with vodka (blech!).
ONE OF THE BEST CDs (2004-03-24) This CD is GREAT!!!! I love the electronica tango yet smooth ambient sound of this French music. I simply love it. I hope Gotan Project makes more CDs like this one!!!!
