80More organic and less electronic... but... still thrillingly left-field. [Jun 2006, p.106]
-
Lunatico is a brave and exotic experiment.
-
80The trip-hop stylings have been toned down to a murmur as traditional Latino structures and devices come waltzing gloriously to the fore.
-
If you're after dark, bloody romance with a twist, look no further.
-
Lunatico won't alienate fans by having evolved too fast, nor disappoint by excessively rehashing old themes.
-
80Continues in [the debut's] innovative spirit, both elemental and experimental. [15 Apr 2006]
-
A bit formulaic, but winning. [14 Apr 2006, p.86]
-
70It is quickly clear that Gotan Project have focused and finely tuned their mission during their hiatus. [May 2006, p.86]
-
70More skilled than the debut, Lunatico is no sophomore slump, though hardcore house music fans may want to wait for remixes.
-
70The dance tracks are collectively less distinctive than the slower, more calculated pieces, but still well enough constructed to stay interesting throughout for the sake of dancing or listening.
-
60Succeeds in sounding exotic. [Jun 2006, p.115]
-
60Domingo dances well between old and new musics, but elsewhere the disc can feel like a dream about tango.
-
60Dreamy and hypnotic, alternating between sparse and lush, these tunes' tempos tend to stay down, and things can get pretty stagnant, but there's a great sense of ambience and mood.
