New Power Tango

``Moonlight''

SonyBMG

This album offers a totally new taste of tango, tinged with powerful electric flavors. The 10-track album is a mixture of various rhythms, styles and genres _ all of which have never been done before.

The new tango rendition, composed and produced by keyboardist and composer Christian Ale, seems to sound closer to jazz or acid jazz. The opener, ``Buenos Aires Moonlight'' creates strong upbeat rhythms and a melancholic and dramatic atmosphere. ``Dreamz'' sounds sweet, cozy and very soothing while ``Acid Rain'' blends acid jazz with tango.

The final track is a trance version of ``Inspiracion,'' the biggest hit from maestro Luis Rubinstein, remixed by Star Noise.
