Album Description

1986's Criminal Tango is one of the more intriguing titles in Manfred Mann's Earth Band extensive catalog. Not only is it filled with some of the more memorable cover versions in their four decade career, Criminal Tango is truly a rocking session that keeps their musical tradition alive.

This much applauded remastered disc opens with Paul Weller and The Jam's "Going Underground." Complete with the fiery keyboard of Manfred Mann along with the skillful guitar style of Mick Rodgers who returned to the band with this celebrated release. Chris Thompson gets star billing as well, as his vocals are second to none.

The bonus tracks are definitely worth shouting about as their classic rock and pop hit "Runner" makes the album worth its weight in gold. Plus additional rare versions of "Do Anything You Wanna Do" and the rare US 45 of "Rebel" only add to the dimension of this release.

Friday Music good friends at Creature Music are proud to release Criminal Tango for the first time in North America. This new version gets the Manfred Mann's remastering that you have come to know and love from our previous releases, as well as four bonus tracks, extra photos and recording information. A treasure trove of Manfred Mann's Earth Band from 1986. Enjoy!

American Fans Robbed ! !.......2003-07-20

I am a long time fan and tried to get this album for many years, before I finally did. I was not disappointed ! It was dissappointing to find that I had such trouble because there was no record company in the U.S. with the wisdom to market the album. This was the most pop sounding album in years and I think the public should have been given the chance to hear a few songs at the very least! Thanks to on line ordering we fans can make our own choices

Manfred Mann's Best Effort.......2000-04-10

Many people belived that Manfreed Mann's Earth Band called it quits after The Roaring Silence, and who could blame them. After the sucess of the single Blinded by the Light, Not much was heard from the band. They continued making albums, but the music publics taste were constantly changing, and Manfred MAnn's music was left in the way side.But in 1986, The Band came out with an effort that is unbelieveable to the ears. This album should have put Manfred Mann back on the map, but sadly they didnt have the push from a major reord label to get them noticed. This album is full of energy, and is complimented from the vocals of Chris Thompson, who sang on Blinded by the Light. Every song has an interesting hook, especially Do Anything You want to do, The Beatlesque Talk to me, The driving Myster kids and etc. You will discover what the 80's were all about on this cd. A masterpiece from the closet

A great collection, will never get tired of listening.......1999-08-05

An excellent collection of Tangos, complete with gun shots, occasional lyrics, all in all -- wonderful music for anything -- whether you can dance to it or can't.

Quartetto Gelato presents the best possible kind of crossover programs. The group members are basically classical musicians, and unusually versatile ones, and they always include at least one piece of substantial music in their recordings (in this case a set of bagatelles by Dvorák, with the harmonium part played on an accordion)) along with tasty lighter material. Peter De Sotto, who plays violin and mandolin, also sings in a pretty light tenor that is just right for the Neapolitan songs he performs here. The choice of material moves a little outside the Neapolitan orbit, not only with Dvorák but also with Piazzolla and a delicious "Criminal Tango" by someone named T. Trambella. Quartetto Gelato's CDs make perfect dinner music, but they are so well performed that they also make entertaining listening programs. That's true of this new release even though the program is a little lighter than usual. Not recommended for snobs, but nearly everyone else will enjoy it thoroughly. --Leslie Gerber

Sumptuous Delight---Gelato indeed!!!.......2002-11-10

I was first introduced to this album when my teacher put it on as background music during a reed-making session. My first thought, of course, was, "What the dickens?" My second thought was: "Hey. . . cool!" Quartetto plays everything and anything with such intelligence, flair, and joie de vivre that even the most casual listener can't help but be enthralled. Neapolitan Café is a charming collection of lively tangos, bizarre yet gorgeous interpretations of standard classical reperatoire, new music, a couple of folk tunes, and even a fifties pop song thrown in at the end. The viruosity and musicianship is remarkable and even a bit surprising: Macerollo's accordian playing will knock downright your socks off; Meanwell's guitar is flavourful and his cello is rich (if not showcased quite so much); De Sotto, besides playing a great rustic violin and mandolin, sings in a brilliant tenor; and Steljes' oboe playing flies as she takes up parts written for all sorts of unoboistic instruments (including a mandolin part in the Waltz Brillante). This odd instrumentation gives an eccentric and fun flavour to everything they do that you will find nowhere else, and I doubt you will ever have more fun listening to Volare than as rendered here (by violin, cello, oboe and accordian). An insight of the best chamber musicians shines in certain places, too, parcticularly in the beautiful interpretation of the Dvoøák bagatelles and the strikingly lyrical Ave Maria of Piazzola. The only thing about this disc that I really don't like is the engineering, which tends to overbalance on the oboe and is too loud for some of my speakers. But if you have speakers that are better than my cheap ones, and you're in the mood for an eclectic hour, then make yourself a lattè, put on some multicoloured lights, pop in Neapolitan Café, and dance away!

Marvelous!.......2002-01-18

Before hearing (and seeing) Quartetto Gelato, Classical music didn't interest me much. I would go to symphony concerts once and a while, but felt like falling asleep half way through the program. With Quartetto Gelato staying awake was not a problem! I recently bought Neapolitan Cafe and it hasn't been put back in its case since! A must have!

Antidote.......2001-11-13

A pleasant antidote to the New-Age plague.

I first heard this on an NPR station and stopped the car so I could write down the name. And after hearing it almost every day for several weeks, I'm still enthralled.
