Bethany's Tango Until You're Sore
Sultry examples of this classic Latin dance alongside derelict avant-garde versions for those of us with two left feet. Bethany's 2012 Marathon Premium delivers tangos like never heard before. There are historic recordings so sumptuous you'll book a flight direct to Buenos Aires. Rare tracks from unlikely places like Greece and Finland. Bandoneon and accordion feature prominently, but the player piano and harpsichord take turns as well. 20th Century composers hit the metaphorical dance floor with a few selections from 127 commissions by a tango-obsessed piano professor in the 1980s. Awkward dancing encouraged, ballroom lessons not required.

The vinyl comes with free downloads which include a bonus Richard Youngs remix PLUS odes to trees recorded especially for this premium by an international cast of self-confessed arborists: Tsembla, h., Janek Schaefer, Stephen Vitiello, AWOTT, Ilitch, Knuckleduster, Our Love Will Destroy the World, Mela Zeta, Nick Storring, Ensemble Economique, and Tom Carter!
