Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Today More Than Ever, Buenos Aires is a Tourist Capital on a Par with the Most Beautiful, Intense and Seductive in the World, and Tango, as We Already Know, is Its Most Distinctive Sound, the Sound Realization of the 'porteño' Spirit. "Tango Chill Sessions" Celebrates this Tradition by Combining Wandering Pianos, Melancholic Bandoneons and Guitars from the Poor Side of Town with Slow Electronic Percussion, Producing an Original, Sensual, Landscape Effect. "Tango Chill Sessions" Uses Tango Vocabulary Without Losing the Essence of the Sound that Expresses the Taste of Buenos Aires Like No Other. It Includes Versions of "Adios Nonino", "Libertango" and "Verano Porteño" which Reset the Context for all the Once Expressed Feeling by the Master and Composer of Such Illustrious Pages, Astor Piazzolla.

Customer Reviews:

A great successor to Vol. 1.......2005-10-03

(...)

The first track (which is a remix of the last track of the album) "Abasto Sunset" by [G-Spliff] is a dark, melancholic instrumental song, that does introduce the album, but does not foreshadow its mood at all. But in its own way this short intro is very intriguing, very deep and very fascinating, if it were just longer. The second version of this track, namely the "original" version of "Abasto Sunset" is far less powerful. Nevertheless it leaves you with some sort of an aftertaste wanting you to start the album all over again.

The second track (Tango Tripping Project - El Exilio del Tango) reminds me very much more of the various TangoFusion / Electronic Tango CDs that were out in the first wave of new tango music 1-2 years ago. It is then where you realize this album will definitely follow in Volume 1's footsteps. And I could just go on praising almost every single track on the compilation. The tracks meld into each other as if they were meant to be on that compilation. Definitely an album that has a permanent place in my iPod.

But then I would prefer you to go out and listen to it yourself.

A side note for tango dancers: this album is very much danceable, although it is a lot slower than Volume 1 - but I think you might actually prefer Vol. 2 for dancing.

A good, but dissappointing followup to the first..........2005-09-14

I own the first vol and expected this to be more of the same, which would of made me a lot happier. I felt that the tracks on this album were slower and over-simplified (not enough instruments or variety) compared to the first. Picking slower tracks just took out the energy that the original had. Still, the slower pace of this CD makes it a good chill album. The tango element is still there, yet I heard a little bit more piano that I wanted. And there are a few tracks with vocals - that's just something I don't ever want to hear in something like this(the first didn't have any).
Overall, good to listen to but doesn't compare well to the first. A lot better than other tango chill albums (not like there are many!). If you haven't listened to the first yet, BUY THAT ONE. Then consider this.

Good CD to mellow out..........2005-11-13

This is a very nice compilation of Tango classics that has been remastered perfectly. You'll enjoy all of the songs this CD contains. The CD is very good, and if you had a bad day, it'll actually calm you down, since it's very jazzy. Overall, a good CD you must have if you collect Latin American music.

"The Day Tango Met Chill Out".......2004-11-20

If you like electronica chill out and tango this is a wonderful blend of the two. I personally cannot vouch completely for tango because the most of it I hear is much older so I cannot determine the quality of it. But I do know chill out and honestly most of it does bores me but the beats and melody are so different because of the tango part of it it's like something new. This mix is a very smooth, and relaxing. Not necessarily a must buy, but in it's own right it is very good and mostly a good purchase.

Bought this one on a hunch.......2005-05-13

When visiting Buenos Aires last summer, I fell in love with the city. Coming across this CD I purchased it more for the name than anything else. But, it is fantastic. The music is varied and offers different sounds for different settings. All of the tracks are smooth and crisp. Excellent blend of ambient, groove and funk elements. The music is versatile, not confined, and can be used as background or chill. Open a bottle of Malbec and turn on the CD. Be transformed.
