 Rating:  - Why havent i heard this before!?!?I think this is the best santana album (at least studio album because then theres Lotus live in Japan) and serves as a masterclass in the fusion of so many musics yet it sounds so pure and it still amazes how all the influences can be heard so clearly but at the same time everything about this album is so unique...Everytime i hear it it impresses me even more how the songs transition into one another so seamlessly and it is almost over as soon as it had began. Anyways, highly recommended album for guitar fans, jazz fans, early santana stuff, woodstock fans...you see where im going here, worth buying by just having "all the love in the universe" Rating:  - Re-issue not remaster?This is a great album, my personal Santana favourite. However, there is nothing to suggest on the box that this album has actually been remastered, or that anything has been done to 'buff up' the sound, despite another reviewer's praise for the improved sound quality on this release. Maybe this is just a reissue rather than a remaster. If it were the latter surely that fact would be advertised on the packaging. Rating:  - Not actually re-mastered.The CD I received was not actually re-mastered. It was the same edition as the indifferent cd pressing I bought 4 years ago. If ever there was an album deserving a good re-master, this is it. It's going back. I believe it is mis-advertised. Rating: - MasterpieceI heard "Caravanserai" for the first time in 1973 (the year after it was released), and it immediately became one of my favourite records. Later, I used it as a jumping-off point to go back and forth through the rest of Santana's catalogue, but found that none of their other albums (though pleasant enough) have had the continuous appeal of this one. With vocals being kept to a minimum, you can appreciate all the details of the breadth of supporting instrumentation on display - Wendy Haas' percussive piano on "La Fuente del Ritmo", Hadley Caliman's breathy sax on "Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation", the uncredited frantic flautist on "Every Step Of The Way": all these players weren't part of the regular band (indeed, were only ... Read More: Rating: - The High PointThis was Santana at his (and their) absolute peak. A once-off album that transcended everything else he did and took him from rock guitarist to true virtuoso. 'Promise of a Fisherman' on Borboletta was the only time he got close to the brilliance of this again. Magnificent playing from everyone with great respect shown to Tom Jobim on Stone Flower. Perhaps the well documented tensions in the band inspired them. Certainly Neil Schon and Greg Rolie (soon to form the dull Journey) never reached this level elsewhere. This was the moment that people like John McLaughlin took notice and wanted to play with Carlos. He remains a rarity in that, unlike most musicians from this era he still cuts in live (though not, it must be said ... Read More: |
