General AT neotango playlist
10th January 2009
Here's a selection of tracks, in no particular order, which I think work well if you're coming from an MJ background. Some of them sort-of fit into the "Neo Tango" category, others are simply tracks that I found work well to Tango to.

| Almost Blue |
Alison Moyet |
Classic slow Blues track, works well for MJ Blues or slow AT |
| Assassin's Tango |
John Powell |
Lovely instrumental - dramatic kick at the end. |
| Blue Monday |
Tanghetto |
Milonga track - also quite MJ-able |
| Don't Know Why |
Nora Jones |
Nice relazing Blues track. |
| England 2 Columbia 0 | Kirsty MacColl | Good title :) |
| En Mi / Solidad |
Campo |
Slow, measured beat, good for learning to. |
| Inertia Creeps | Massive Attack |
Challenging - possibly a Milonga? |
| Mi Corazon |
Campo |
Up-tempo, more Milonga than Tango but with some nice pauses. |
| L'amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle |
Maria Callas |
Bit "Ballroom Tango-y" for my taste, but still danceable. |
| Leave Me Alone | Natalie Imbruglia |
Another Blues track. |
| Nobody's Fault But Mine |
Beth Rowley |
Another slow Blues track. |
| Nothing Else Matters |
Apocalyptica |
Lovely instrumental, sweeping |
| Piano Secuencias |
Carlos Libedinsky |
Slow tempo electro-tango. Not on iTunes, alas, which is clearly a crime against humanity. |
| Secret | Maroon 5 | YABT (Yet Another Blues Track) |
| Tango in Harlem | Touch & Go | Lovely tango feel to it (of course) - "Straight To Number 1" by Touch & Go also works well. |
| Whatever Happens | Michael Jackson | Lovely slow track - who'd have thought you could Tango to MJ? :) |
| Whatever Lola Wants |
Sarah Vaughan |
Pretty much the only AT track played at MJ venues a couple of years ago. Still worth dancing to. |
