I still adore Tango. It may be a confection, and less of a true band effort than the rest of their work, but I think the whole vibe, all tied together with the album cover and the videos, has a magic to it.
Lindsey worked (seven) wonders to create something with a cohesive, sophisticated feel, and I think managed to make something that actually underlines the group's mystical element. He played Stevie's role!
I know a lot of people think it's too synthy, but as we learnt later, a lot of those sounds were actually guitar, played at half-speed and treated in strange ways. I'm sure the intro to Little Lies is a guitar, by the way.
