Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0078221908023 Label: Bmg/Arista Manufacturer: Bmg/Arista MPN: 19080 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1999 Publisher: Bmg/Arista Release Date: June 15, 1999 Studio: Bmg/Arista Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: The Arista debut of Carlos Santana and band gives fans of the soulful guitar vet two albums in one, but it's a decidedly good-news, bad-news proposition. First, there's a fine collection of late-'90s-model Santana--tastefully tooled songs driven by Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms ("[Da Le] Taleo," "Africa Bamba," "Migra," "Primavera," and the emotionally charged instrumental "El Farol") that allow Carlos plenty of elbowroom for his passionate soloing. Then there's the collection of tracks featuring a lineup of de rigueur alternative and hip-hop stars, including Dave Matthews, Everlast, Rob Thomas, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Eagle Eye Cherry. To their credit, Matthews ("Love of My Life") and Eagle Eye Cherry ("Wishing It Was") muster enough chemistry to make the fusion work. But the rest of the collaborations feel like an unnecessary stretch to reach out to a younger demographic that El Jefe has little trouble attracting on his own terms. --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating: - Doesn't even reek of the 90's, Part 2First off, Supernatural is not *just* a Santana record. It's more of a mix between Santana, his band, his collaborators and sometimes the producers. It's really a great sounding record all around, and despite it's mainstream trappings, I found pretty much all the songs good (not awesome or great, mind you). I'll tackle the album in it's two different faces: The more traditional (though this one is far from the traditional Latin music it seems) songs (give or take), or the less traditional, latin ...

An audio treat best listened to at night when the imagination can fire up and see his work. Brilliant. Susan Rating: - Great songs and sound quality, though DVD-surround mix was a bit slapdashI was really looking forward to receiving this disc. Although I think he wails for a little too long in some of his solos, I have to admit Santana is one talented musician. I won't go into each song individually as some reviewers have done here. I personally believe you already know the songs you're getting when you're buying in this format... perhaps you own the CD / have heard the songs before, and you want to hear it in a new light. Well, overall the songs are great. ... Read More Rating: - santana going strongCarlos Santana is a legend in the truest sense of the word . I am someone who listened to him in the sixties & am so pleased to see he is still going strong & appealing to a newer audience. More power to him !!! Rating: - Santana - different sound, still greatWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3EOWQS8YXPR2C I've been a Santana fan since Woodstock but not through thick and thin, so I wasn't current when this album came out, but it really caught my ear and I like almost everything on it. It's one of my favorite albums overall. Santana from several eras is great for jumping rope to. |
