I just picked up a few CD's, and listened to the first one all the way through. I haven't been doing this for a while, but I figure I should get back into it...
Gotan Project--Tango 3.0: Wow. The things they do with and to nuevo tango music are just awesome. Incorporating electronics and other non-traditional elements, they preserve tango's essential moods and energy throughout the album. The final track, "Érase Una Vez" ("Once upon a Time"), deserves special mention: from its very first bar, you know it's the last track: nobody says good night like that last slow, bittersweet tango. My favorite track on first listening was probably "La Gloria", but such things sometimes shift around.
