By nicjaytee TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
So, here we are faced with Santana's first, quite brilliant album which is (as I write) ranked number 26,686 in Amazon.co.uk’s sales chart. That is, for comparison, some 22,000 places behind Ken Dodd’s Greatest Hits... why ?...

With tracks from Santana's recent "Supernatural" album having received blanket international radio coverage, this record - which provides the template for "Smooth" and virtually all other "latin rock" dance music over the past 30 years - is clearly in desperate need of some more serious interest. Okay, it's less sophisticated but it's infused throughout with excellent songs and highly enthusiastic playing, and... it contains two of the most infectious dance tracks ever made: I defy anyone to put "Jin-go-la-ba" or "Soul Sacrifice" on their CD player and not get an immediate, positive reaction regardless of age or musical preference.

Good enough credentials on their own to justify its inclusion on any list of essential 60's albums. But there's more... because this is also an important record! Not only did it catapult one of the world's most distinctive guitarists onto the international stage but it re-asserted the value of "good-time" dance music - the essence of rock & roll - at a time when folk based introspection and heavy rock bombast were threatening to take over. Playing tracks from this album, Santana's massive success at Woodstock proved that generating simple "let your hair down" enjoyment was still an essential ingredient in "progressive" rock.

As such, it fully justifies "classic" status and vastly much more recognition – best of all, it will, unlike our Ken’s little offering, give you many hours/years of enjoyment while seriously impressing your friends!

Great stuff 24 Jun 2005
Format:Audio CD
Great stuff. While I was not yet old enough at the time the album was produced (I heard the album first in the late 70's), the feel is late 60's and yet completely timeless at the same time. I think the voice of Gregg Rolie is just fantastic on a couple of the tracks, and the whole band is simply outstanding. There is a fair bit of bonus on the legacy version of the album. Abraxas and the third album are more polished, but perhaps the slight rawness of this first album is part of the attraction.

This is is how music should be... powerful rhythms, great keyboard work and the sense of music being played instead of some synthetic production being created by studio engineers. This is dance music from a lost era when bands set out to make you dance, and this album certainly can do that. Carlos Santana himself takes a back seat through most of the tracks, often giving the musical lead to Greg Rolie on the keyboard. The keyboard work will please you so much I don't think you'd complain at the maestro's absence.

Santana's first album and of a style they never revisited in the studio but which introduced so many of the favourite tracks from their concert appearances over the next 30 years.

Simply brilliant stuff.
