After spending a few days digesting the soundtrack from Les 7 Doigts de la Main, I have come to have an appreciation for much of the music that was used. I was already familiar with Temptation, as performed by Holly Cole, but found myself captivated by Santa Maria.

I had originally taken a quick look through a shop the other day, but didn't really have time to find what I was after. On my walk home today, I was able to collect the CD that Santa Maria came from. I had heard the name Gotan Project before, but never at the same time as hearing the music. After only 5 minutes at the listening booth, I had decided that I found exactly what I was after. La Revancha del Tango was mine.

I am still on the first listen, but am suitably impressed. There are many european flavours, with a touch of electronic and live drumming. (There are samples loaded within the flash animation on the website. Coincidently, it was the same song that was playing on the CD player at the time, providing a very interesting effect.) The biography speaks of argentinians exiled in Paris, which does make sense as I listen.

It would be a safe bet to assume that this CD will be taking up a regular spot in my playlist, and should be making an appearance on my audioscrobbler charts in the near future.
