(4 out of 5 stars)
"Though labeled a "soundtrack" (because it is, in fact, music from a film) this serves as an excellent introduction and overview to the contemporary latin, especially Mexican, electronica scene. Highlights include the Gotan-esque tango of Tanghetto's "Blue Monday" (yes, the New Order classic as interpreted by jazzy bandoleon players), the suave hip-hoppish "Don't Let Go" by Pacha, and tracks by Bitman and Roban, The Pinker Tones, and Nortec Collective. Highly recommended for that margarita or mojito-spashed summer party you're getting ready to throw or attend."
