The title included, “Cite Tango (A. Piazzolla)” has been edited in a quite cheeky way, that made us curious. You have to listen to what bandoneon, percussion, violin and 2 Synthesizer did (in a respectful way) to Astor. libertango citetango adios nonino invierno porteño michelangelo 70 primavera porteña años de soledad asi sea miles superbossa boquita rosa porteña santa maria del buen ayre

DJ Santiago Steele says about:

Think tango meets break-beat/drum & bass. For some reason, every conceivable genre, from Yo Yo Ma to Grace Jones, that tries to 'do' tango picks Piazzolla's arguably commercial-sounding 'Libertango' as their starting point, and techno seems to be no different. Although new work is always welcome, this CD sounds like it was put together at home on a synthesizer, giving it a certain 'musacky' quality, and most of it is just plain b-a-d. Give it a listen and decide for yourself. Best tracks: 'Libertango' and 'Santa Maria del Buen Ayre' (Review by courtesy of Santiago Steele, www.tangonauts.com)
