The Tango Saloon | de

The now defunct Reading-based Saloon spent four years quietly building a following among John Peel's indie masses through a string of low-key singles before releasing their debut album (This Is) What We Call Progress in 2002. Like Track And Field cohorts Tompaulin, Saloon have a passion for lilting melodies and docile guitar 'n string symphonies, but where the former often find themselves aligned with Belle and Sebastian, Saloon veer off in the direction of Stereolab and Movietone with celestial Moog washes and shyly seductive multilingual lyrics. Wonderfully off-kilter tracks "My Everyday Silver" and live fave "Girls Are The New Boys"...

A Germany based Argentinian Experimental-Tango-Jazz-Electronica fusion group with a strong emphasis on jazz and electronica. Although some of the artists had been collaborating on Tango Fusion music since 1987 'Tango Crash' itself finally came together to play a concert for the 'Architecture Biennial' in August 2002 in Berlin. Their first album 'Tango Crash' was released in 2003 with 'Otra Sanata' following in 2005. .
