Unplugged

This Argentine trio has spellbound me ever since I first heard their music while in Costa Rica in 1986. This semi-unplugged set offers up alternate versions of many of their past tunes -- not only are many quite different, they are in some cases much better! "Angel Eléctrico" ("Electric Angel") is the best example -- its provocative bass line dominates a subdued (compared to the original version) vocals; "Un Misil en mi Placard" ("A Missile in my Closet" -- don't ask) is pure aural joy with its authoritative acoustic guitars; "Té Para 3" ("Tea for 3") proves lead-man Gustavo Cerati even *more* a genius; and lastly, even "Entre Canibales'" ("Between Cannibals") refit proves more enjoyable than its Canción Animal album version.
