Discos Audiófilos

Given the cold shoulder Madonna's 2003 album American Life received by critics and audiences alike – it may have gone platinum, but apart from the Bond theme “Die Another Day,” released in advance of the album, it generated no new Top Ten singles (in fact, its title track barely cracked the Top 40) – it's hard not to read its 2005 follow-up, Confessions on a Dance Floor, as a back-to-basics move of sorts: after a stumble, she's returning to her roots, namely the discos and clubs where she launched her career in the early '80s. It's not just that she's returning to dance music – in a way, she's been making hardcore dance albums ever since 1998's Ray of Light, her first full-on flirtation with electronica – but that she's revamping and updating disco on Confessions instead of pursuing a bolder direction.

Album released in Spain bringing together 12 songs typical of Spanish university 'tunas' performed by the 'Tuna Universitaria de Madrid', usually hybrid ofmembers and vocalists from other 'tunas'. The recording integrates classical repertoire in such vocal and instrumental music in this case highlights the less usual violin intervention by the voice.

"This Argentinian outfit, now based in Berlin, has developed a distinctively new style of tango, influenced by jazz, contemporary classical music and electronica, while maintaining strong links with the dance form's rich traditions. The compositions are the key to their success - powerful and dramatic pieces (…) The production is sharp and clear throughout, with clever integration of acoustic and electronic sounds, but Almada and Iannaccone never lose the plot or the necessary emotion, throwing in all the grand gestures you expect from tango." 4/5 ~The Guradian
