Music reviews of Inspiracion-Espiracion Remix
Music Review: Hits and Misses...
Rating: 4 Stars
As with many others, I consider Gotan Project's LA REVANCHA DEL TANGO to be a consistently outstanding success at presenting tango in contemporary contexts. The followup INSPIRACION-ESPIRACION REMIX is a mixed bag of remixes and other tracks, mostly by G.P., but also including cuts by such inspirations as Astor Piazzolla and Anibal Troilo.
My list of highlights starts with a remarkable remix of a Chet Baker version of the Thelonious Monk jazz classic "Round About Midnight," with G.P. surrounding the original Baker trumpet track with their trademark sound. Elsewhere, a hot percussion cut by Domingo Cura segues into a fine Calexico remix of "La Del Ruso" (basically brass and techno sounds on top of the G.P. original cut). Two rap / hip-hop mixes don't do much for me, particularly the Al-Shid cut with profane lyrics ... I never expected a cut issued under the G.P. name to get so unredeemingly ugly. The CD ends with two club / electronica remixes that recall the bonus disc of the USA release of LA REVANCHA (both decent but way different than the original tracks).
Unfortunately I cannot access the video on disc two, so someone else will have to review that. The disc also has one audio outtake from LA REVANCHA that is basically more of the same. As a whole, this album has enough good points to be of interest to Gotan Project fans, but others should start with LA REVANCHA.
Description of Inspiracion-Espiracion Remix
The follow-up to their critically and commercially successful "La Revancha Del Tango" release of 2003 is a double CD remix featuring Chet Baker and Astor Piazzolla, along with Peter Kruder, Anti-Pop Consortium, and Calexico remixing Gotan Project songs. The second disc contains a brand new track and ten minute enhanced video. Gotan Project draws on the African roots of tango and takes inspiration from Argentinian folk and the urban intensity of Buenos Aires, with its melancholy, women, cocaine, and indestructible, immortal tango.Phillippe Cohen Solal clearly enjoys pushing boundaries, having already shown the dance music universe just how flexible a tango rhythm can be on Gotan Project's 2001 release La Revancha Del Tango. Inspiracion-Espiracion doesn't do anything new, exactly, but this sprawling mix of new tracks, remixes, guest DJs, Astor Piazzolla, and poetry readings doesn't lack for audaciousness. With a soulful mixer like Solal at the wheel, it's a pretty smooth ride; a reinterpretation of Chet Baker's "Round About Midnight" segues into the beat-driven "Confianzas" like a darkening sky giving way to moonlight. Downtempo master Peter Kruder shows up as well, to weave a little football commentary into his remix of "Triptico," while Solal returns the favor (but without the football) on "The Man" (from Kruder's Peace Orchestra release). Last but not least, check out the bonus CD, featuring a previously unreleased GP track and a video from longtime visual collaborator Prisca Lobjoy. ?Matthew Cooke
