One
of the most searing, soaring albums ever from Santana – a set that takes all the
power of the previous two records, and packs it into one tight little set! There's plenty
of Latin influences going on – mixed with heavy fuzz from Carlos, and lots
of jazz and funky touches too – way more happening on the rhythm tip than most
of Santana's contemporaries – which is why the record continues to find such a wonderfully wide audience over the years. Drop cuts like "Batuka","Toussaint L'Overture", "Jungle Strut", or "Para Los Rumberos" next to tracks by War, Mandrill or
Tower Of Power and you'll see what we mean – and titles also include "No One To Depend On","Taboo", "Guajira" and "Everything's Coming Our Way". Expanded edition includes new interviews, liner notes, photos and unreleased live bonus tracks.
