| | Tango Saloon CD Tango Saloon Discography of CDs
The Tango Saloon's avant-garde version of the Argentinean dance form is driven by a restless sense of experimentation, and built on a strong foundation of tradition and musical technique. "March of the Big Shoe" is a modernist piece for tuba, piano, and saxophone, while "Man With the Bongos" is a suspense soundtrack waiting for its movie. "Still I Cannot Do the Tango" is bossa nova for acoustic guitar and viola, and their moody cover of Astor Piazzolla's "Libertango" conjures Calexico's Southwestern textures.

| | Kaada Romances CD (2004)
Tango Saloon CD music
$13.65 
Mike Patton and fellow Ipecac resident Kaada's collaboration Romances dwells in the twilight zone where spooky and seductive meet. Both artists' work reveals a love of cinematic music: Kaada is an award-winning film music composer in his native Norway, and Patton has paid homage to great horror scores on Fantômas' Director's Cut. Romances is just as filmic as that album -- actually, the affection for the spooky, evocative and arranged is the biggest romance going on here -- but it is less noisy and intense, and more obviously melodic and playful than Director's Cut. "Invocation"'s creepily whimsical melody and choral voices, for example, recall Danny Elfman's work more than Fantômas' grislier sound. Patton's fondness for over-the-top theatricality tends to dominate Romances, particularly on the eight-minute "Aubade," where his vocals span ghostly choral passages, Tasmanian devil-like grunts and growls and ululating that sounds like an unusually tuneful bleating goat. Like nearly all of Patton's collaborations, the album makes the most of his voice, and he's shown over and over again that he can adapt his singing to almost any setting (and vice versa). The torchy "Seule" and "Pitie Pour Mes Larmes" feature some of the most straightforward crooning he's done in a while, but within the album's context, lyrics ...
| | Guapo Blank Oni CD (2005)
Tango Saloon music CDs
$13.65 
Black Oni is the second part of an epic trilogy that started with 2004's highly acclaimed Five Suns. Like that album, it is composed of one track separated into five parts. It shares the same lineup as Five Suns, too (not always the case with Guapo): Daniel O'Sullivan on keyboards and guitar, Matt Thompson on bass, and Dave Smith on drums. Black Oni is filled with organ clusters and electronic tones that give way to heavy progressive rock peppered with electric piano, Mellotron, and a slew of other brilliant excesses. ...

| | Animal Collective Grass CD (2006) With DVD
Tango Saloon album
$6.39
This three-tracks disc is essentially a CD-single for the song "Grass" by the Brooklyn-based noise-folk outfit Animal Collective, a tune featured on the group's 2005 album FEELS. The song, which careens from breezy insouciance to explosive, shout-filled mayhem, is just as thrilling here as it is on the band's full-length, but the real treasures are the disc's two b-sides.
"Must Be Treeman" and "Fickle Cycle" perfectly fuse the Collective's acid- tinged noise-collage aesthetic with their back-to-the-bush child-savant primitivism. Even better is the bonus DVD, which contains videos for "Grass" and SUNG ...

The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's ...

| | Christina Rosenvinge Foreign Land CD (2004)
Tango Saloon album
$13.89
Christina Rosenvinge's second solo album was released after Dean Wareham announced the breakup of Luna, and a dedicated fan of this style of stylishly enervated Velvet Underground-influenced dream pop could almost think that the Spanish-Danish singer/songwriter had decided to pick up exactly where that band had left off. The eight songs on Foreign Land are beautifully hushed, with Rosenvinge's softly accented vocals (think Laetitia Sadier, not Nico) set against downtown New York art rock/pop all-stars including Smells Like label head Steve Shelley, Lee Ranaldo and guitarist Smokey Hormel, who adds a whiskey-soaked guest vocal to the moody "Submission." Other highlights include the spooky "Dream Room," which features overdubbed counterpoint vocals over an almost tribal, hypnotic tom-tom rhythm from Shelley, and the uncharacteristically ...
