Abraxas!,

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!

One of the best albums ever ??,
By
This review is from: Abraxas (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 !!!

Disraeli Gears, Axis and Abraxas,
By
This review is from: Abraxas (Audio CD)
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. Not only is Santana's stellar guitar work on par with both men but he frequently surpassed them. While others were content to wring chords out of the blues, Santana leaped for the stratsophere with an older vision: more tribal, more latin, more african and in the end created a music that was paradoxically, both past and future at once. Don't think that Hendrix didn't notice. Abraxas is where it came together for the first time. The abstract songs are the best, but it's telling that a throwaway like "Hope You're Feeling Better," still out-Claptons all of Layla. Carlos did not sing (unlike Clapton and Hendrix), but that only made his guitar more urgent than ever. It had to be, it was his only voice. Hard to believe that American tastes were so sophisticated once, but this was one of the biggest selling albums of the seventies.
