| | Federico Aubele : Gran Hotel Buenos Aires - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | The resulting album, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires -- actually produced by Thievery Corporation and released on their label, ESL -- is like the reverse image of trip-hop. |
 | | Aubele's songs are atmospheric, driven by sampled beats, and even employ scratching in some cases, but unlike trip-hop, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires is sunny, free-spirited, and celebratory. |
 | | Gran Hotel Buenos Aires is a wholly brilliant album and Federico Aubele may be to Argentina what Sigur Rós is to Iceland: the most forward-thinking and experimental artist to capture the sound of his homeland's cultural, symbolic, and physical geography. |
