CD-reviews & news

TANGO RECORDS - STUDIO LINE

We are happy to announce our very first TANGO RECORDS release! TANGO RECORDS is a registered music label founded by Bernhard Gehberger and dedicated in producing state of the art Argentine Tango transfers of unknown, rare, or hard to find Tango recordings. We use 78 RPM records owned by Bernhard Gehberger or TANGO-DJ.AT, as well as records being made available by various collectors cooperating with us.

Our series is called STUDIO LINE as we focus on preserving as much natural sound as possible. Years of experience go into carefull production, handling and processing of our transfers always trying to give you as much of the music as possible. It is always possible to take away more noise and apply a low-pass filter to your taste, whereas it is impossible to re-access once lost frequencies.

Besides of the DJ VERSION we may offer a STUDIO VERSION of some transfers as well, depending on demand for those.

DJ VERSION:

The DJ VERSION is supposed to be ready for use. Our workflow of transfering and remastering includes:

192kHz/24bit master
suitable playback equalization appplied
derumble filter applied
stereo - mono groove optimization
careful manual removal of record defects
gentle declicking filter
trimmed beginning
trimmed 3 seconds ending
parametric EQ with High- & low-pass filter applied
optional: careful use of multiband compressor in case necessary
2x mono tracks
-0,5db normalization
downsampled 44,1kHz/16bit, dithering
lossless FLAC file format

STUDIO VERSION:

Please note that the studio version is NOT supposed to be used as it is. It is a professional digital copy of the 78 RPM record and needs to be remastered!

192kHz/24bit master
suitable equalization applied
derumble filter applied
stereo - mono groove optimization
manual removal of record defects
complete beginning including noise
complete ending including noise
processing/mastering headroom of ~5db
downsampled to 96kHz/24bit (no dithering)

BIBLETANGO - TANGO-DJ.AT cooperation

We feel honored to announce another cooperation with André Vagnon running the renowned website bibletango.com! André being a serious collector for 78 RPM records is specialized in French recordings. We are happy to be able to offer some of his compilations of unknown orchestras to our members and we are looking forward to working together.

Tango books

Michael Lavocah published his new book "TANGO MASTERS: ANIBAL TROILO" recently. It is a paperback edition and has 205 pages packed with information about maestro Aníbal Troilo.

We have taken this as reason to offer all Michael Lavocah's books as well as some others we find interesting in our shop:

http://tango-dj.at/shop/?product_cat=tango-books

TANGO MASTERS: ANIBAL TROILO

small remark:

In the appendix A: Troilo on CD on page 170 of Tango Masters: Aníbal Troilo it is said that CTA reissued Troilo recordings from 78 rpm records.

Apart from "Comme il faut" and "Tinta verde" (both 1938) CTA did not publish any Troilo recordings. (Also AMP did publish only one album and a few single tracks from Troilo..)

TANGO STORIES - MUSICAL SECRETS / TANGO-GESCHICHTEN - Was die Musik erzählt

Again a small remark:

On page 13 (English version) it is stated that CTA published the complete works of Juan D'Arienzo.

Actually CTA covered D'Arienzo recordings until 1957. Everything after that (which is a lot) was not published on CTA.

On page 55 (English version) the recording year of two "La Cumparsita" recordings are discussed.

We have reasons to believe that the findings presented there are probably wrong. You can find our identification of recording dates regarding those releases in our Tango database.
