Las Veredas de Saturno

Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Mederos is a musician who prefers to play his own music ( like Piazzolla ), but drops in a tango ( once ) in a while to prove that he is not a stranger in this field. Mederos became known as the founder of the group "Generacion Cero" in the 2nd. half of (the) 70's. His compositions from that period such as Verano 1976, Todo Ayer and Una Vez Mas are masterpieces. A few years ago, Mederos made a recording of his own arrangements of Gardel 's music. It's a very different and a beautiful Gardel arrangement, indeed. The music of Mederos reminds of Piazzolla very much, but he has also participated with Mercedes Sosa on recording some of the classics ( of ) Tango. ( He is ) one of the best contemporary tango composers !!

5 out of 5 stars One More Milestone.......2004-04-26

This album consists mostly of the standards of Eduardo Arolas recorded in the least expected arrangement - dark post-modern tangos after the end of the world. The only analogy that Osvaldo Calo (of J.J. Mosalini's orquesta fame) on harpsichord may evoke is, perhaps, Cal Cobbs on Albert Ayler's Love Cry. Do not let the names of the standards mislead you if you are looking for something danceable, but if you are looking for new sonic experiences, this is an album for you. One of the most radical attempts of tango renovation, this album puts even Piazzolla into the context of his time. It is on this album to the greater extent than on any other Mederos demonstrates not only his fluency in his native language of nuevo tango, but also his awareness of Cecil Taylor and Pierre Boulez.

This record definitely belongs to the top twenty recordings in history of tango (and I mean exactly that - with no more than five or seven other albums Amazon curently has to offer). It deserves five stars by all standards. A work of timeless beauty, it stands out even in Mederos' discography. In fact I would recommend listening it next to his project with N. Brizuela or his Gardel CD just to appreciate maestro's versatility.
