Product Description

Amazon.ca

Santana's 1970 follow-up to their Woodstock-propelled smash '69 debut found leader Carlos Santana further expanding his San Francisco group's already broad musical boundaries. To wit: two hit singles that emanated from opposite ends of the spectrum--"Black Magic Woman," originally written and recorded by English blues-rock guitarist Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, and New York Latin percussionist/dance music king Tito Puente's infectious "Oye Como Va." Tying blues, rock, and salsa together in one pancultural package, Abraxas also featured such standout tracks as "Gypsy Queen" and "Singing Winds, Crying Beasts." The latter underscored the growing Eastern sensibilities of guitarist Santana. --Billy Altman

Product Description

The #1 smash that changed radio playlists forever. Includes Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen; Oye Como Va , and the seven other tracks from the original album. The CD-only bonus tracks are Se a Cabo; Toussaint L'Overture , and Black Magic Woman/Gyspy Queen , recorded live at Royal Albert Hall on April 18, 1970.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums ever ?? Aug 5 2005
By N. Gray
Format:Audio CD
This album is one of the best albums in all of rock history. I mean what Carlos Santana did for music in general was huge, mixing all sorts of styles together. Here's a quick breakdown of each track.

1.Singing Winds/Crying Beasts-What a opener. Everything just works so well on this cut. Carlos's guitar is exaclty that !crying on this track. It a great opener to the album. 10

2.Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen-Great keyboard riff and the guitar work on this is stellar. Classic Santana ! 10

3.Oye Como Va-A Tito Puente songs that sounds even better when Santana does it. Classic Santana ! 10

4.Incident At Neshabur-I love the jaz feel to this. The ending is my fav part when they go really slow. Carlos is once again on top on this track.

5.Se A Cabo-Can anyone say conga ! The percussion in this track is unbeleivable ! i dig the cowbell ! 10

6.Mother's Daughter-My Greg Rollie song ! What a vocal performance. Carlos's guitar work is great on this track. 10

7.Samba Pa Ti-OH MY GOD !! This is IMO the instrumentals to end all instrumentals ! The best guitar work I've ever heard on any record. Better than Stairway to Heaven, even though I ama huge Zep fan. This song will change anyones perception of what a great guitar can sound like while doing a solo ! 10000000000000000000

8.Hope Your Feeling Better-Great vocals once againg by Mr. Rollie. Great guitar riff from Carlos. 10

9.Il Nicoya-Interesting vamp on one chord. I hgave no idea what the title means but it's a great way to finish of the album. 10

Bonus tracks-The 3 bonus tracks were recorded live in 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Out of all 3, Toussant L'overture sticks out ot me the most becasue of the guitar riff and the percussion.

IF YOU ARE A CLASSIC ROCK FAN THIS IS AN ALBUM YOU SHOULD NOT BE WiTHOUT !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! July 5 2012
By Mary Lapenna
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am thrilled to own this album; it is the quintessential, magical Santana at his very best. His performances on guitar are transcendental. The guitar speaks like a flesh and blood member of the band. Bravo and eternal applause.

5.0 out of 5 stars Abraxas! Aug 1 2011

Format:Audio CD
I adored it on LP (remember those?), wore out the cassette tape in my car, and am now so happy it was re-mastered onto CD. Great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Disraeli Gears, Axis and Abraxas
There are some people who believe that Carlos Santana does not belong in the same company as Clapton and Hendrix. These people include Santana himself. He is dead wrong. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars DTS Entertainment really blew this one
In my humble opinion, this is the finest album by Santana. The music is an absolutely fabulous fusion of latin/caribbean rythms and rock. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Proof that even the "Supernatural" won't keep Santana Down
Santana may have sacrificed his musical integrity for top ten hits in recent years, but Abraxas is still a crowning achievement in the unique guitarists extensive catalog of music. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing at times but lacking a few things
I'm glad I bought this CD though there are a few things that keep it from being a five-starred classic in my opinion. It doesn't have a strong ending. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album Just Got Better - Abraxas in DTS
This isn't a review of Abraxas, if you need to see one of those, there are plenty of those around. BTW, I think Abraxas on it's own is is four and one-half stars. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album
This is a classic album obviously and a good one to have in DTS; nice sound effects on the opening track. Wish we could get many more titles released in DTS format!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good DTS
This DTS sounds terrible. The surround is done well -- probably from the Quadraphonic version -- but the mastering is really "thin", almost as bad as a CD. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars The Quad 8-track has more impressive surround!
I wrote the following review on the DVD-Audio DTS 5.1 surround release of Abraxas, _NOT_ the CD remaster. It should've never appeared here with the remasterd CD reviews. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars where's the beef (bass)?
Okay, my turn to chime in. For me, this is multi-channel (SACD, DVD-AUDIO or DTS) disc number 72 for me. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Version of a Classic!
Having read some of the other reviews of this DTS cd, I almost gave up on looking for a copy. I'm sure you've read the comments regarding "missing bass" and "strange mix" attached... Read more
