Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Not wanting to replicate what their debut, 'La Revancha Del Tango', had achieved musically, the group has a decidedly stronger emphasis on the organic roots of tango on 'Lunatico' and utilized a host of local musicians from Buenos Aires; a complete string section, two emcees, a trombonist, and Argentine piano legend and long time Gotan collaborator Gustavo Beytelmann. The result is their most accomplished work yet. 'The beats are sparse and liquid, and the transition from Buenos Aires bordello to European dance floor is seamless' - Rolling Stone. 'A jiggy melange of tango with a dab of dub' - Entertainment Weekly. '...an intriguing blend of traditional, passionate tango with cool, contemporary electronica' - LA Times.
Amazon.com:
The Gotan Project literally took the world by storm in 2003 with its million-selling La Revancha Del Tango. Skillfully mixing the heated passion of tango with the cool insistent beats of dance music, the group kept the best of both genres as it offered up an unheralded fusion. This time around, the production team delves further into the tradition, cutting down on the dub production filigree and overarching electronic programming--now sexy grooves often come on the back of organic beats and an unprocessed sound captured during live studio sessions in Buenos Aires. This new focus is furthered with conventional bandoneon soloing as well as acoustic piano and string section backing. Nonetheless, kids craving to cut a rug will dig 'Diferente' and 'Notas,' while the robust 'Amor Porteno' (featuring Calexico) is the group's most muscular tune to date. More skilled than the debut, Lunatico is no sophomore slump, though hardcore house music fans may want to wait for remixes. --Tad Hendrickson
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pure joy
I don't generally review CDs here on Amazon, because I think that musical taste is essentially an individual matter. However, this CD demands that I make an exception. It bowled me over when I first heard it (fittingly enough, in Buenos Aires), and continues to do so - I've been buying copies compulsively for friends, who are similarly taken with it.
Gotan Project, a French group (with several collaborators, many from Buenos Aires, on this CD) continue to be among the more interesting ... Read More
Rating: - A perfecto Tango Work!
I've heard Gotan Project at my friend's house. And loved it suddenly.
If you like Tango and modern music formats and jazz, then this is the album for you...
Interesting is, in almost every mood you can love the songs in this album. No matter you are sad, bored, happy, cheerful, angry songs will touch to your soul.
La Revancha del Tango, another album from Gotan Project is also advisable strongly. Nice listenings :)
Rating:  - Adventurous.
Despite being indebted to the stroppy sound of tango, Gotan Project's first album, "La Revancha del Tango" (Revenge of the Tango), had no problem making friends. It cropped up on the last episode of 'Sex and the City' and in an advert for UPS and sold more than 1m copies. If that ubiquity came at a price, perhaps it was passion. In a hybrid of chill-out electronics and tango, something had to give.
"Lunatico" is a good follow-up, in that it pushes a more organic line, with live drumming and percussion. ... Read More
Rating: - Get Your Groove On with The Gotan Project.
The Paris-based Gotan Project is trio Philippe Cohen Solal (France), Eduardo Makaroff (Argentina), and Christoph H. Müller (Switzerland). Named after tango master Carlos Gardel's racehorse, Lunático, and recorded in both Buenos Aires and Paris, the band's intoxicating 2006 tango album is infused with intriguing electronica samples, beats, and euro dance grooves. Adding to the global grooves, the album also features collaborations with both Argentine Gustavo Beytelmann on piano and the Tucson, Arizona band, Calexico. ... Read More
Rating: - The soundtrack to the end of the world
I've always thought that, late on the night the world ends, we'll be in a dark milonga watching the dancers dance and listening to the weary yet romantic sound of the tango. On that night, they'll definitely be playing some cuts from this album and I think that the last song of the night, before existence simply ceases, will be Gotan Project's version of Ry Cooder's "Paris, Texas" (from the Wim Wenders movie).
After loving "La Revancha del Tango," but getting a little tired of it over the years, I expected ... Read More
