Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been a huge fan of Gotan Project for a good while. I loved "La Revancha del Tango" and liked "Lunático" as well. However, I am somewhat disappointed by this latest release Tango 3.0.
There are some good moments, but most of it feels confused and uninspired. The single "La Gloria" is reasonably good, but it feels like rehash of the sound from "Lunático". "Peligro" is a good track as well with some of that great Gotan accordion and vocals.
Some parts are just terrible. Some of the songs just sound jumbled together. Panamerica sounds like they took tracks from a bad Sting song and mixed it with some Gotan music.
The song "Rayuela" is so bad I deleted the file from my PC so I never accidentally hear it again. The chorus of children counting is annoying to the extreme and destroys a song that starts off well. Honestly, it's so bad that it nearly ruins the album. "Tu Misterio" is another potentially good song ruined by awful vocals and some out of place whistling.
I would still recommend this to diehard Gotan fans. There is enough here to make it worth checking out. I would suggest that you listen to and select individual tracks instead of purchasing the entire album. If you are looking to hear Gotan Project for the first time, listen to "La Revancha del Tango" or "Lunático" first. They are both substantially better albums.

Gotan Project's new album Tango 3.0 fluidly steps back on the dance floor where their last album Lunatico left off. Group members Philippe Cohen Solal,Christoph Mueller,and Eduardo Makaroff have constructed yet another beautiful melange of traditional Argentinean tango, dub, jazz and electronics. Tango 3.0's 11 tracks are at once seductive and propulsive.
