CD Reviews

Santana Lite

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I am a huge Santana fan, dating all the way back to the 1970s, but this compilation totally misses the boat. Sure, there are a couple of decent songs on Multi-Dimensional Warrior (mostly on the instrumental disc 2), but it's like Sony went out of its way to put together a two-disc set of Santana's most bland tunes. Maybe they were trying to increase airtime on Lite Rock radio or something.



For those of you who have never heard vintage Santana at all, just check out the song samples from Santana (I)--the one with the lion head cover--here on Amazon, or listen to "Soul Sacrifice" from the original Woodstock soundtrack, then come back and listen to the samples from Multi-Dimensional Warrior. You'll wonder what the heck Sony was thinking with this release.



For full immersion in Santana's classic era rock, pick up all of Carlos and the band's first three discs: Santana (I), Abraxas, and Santana (III). For a taste of Carlos' jazzy side, get Caravanserai. For his spiritual side, Welcome is a nice entry. And for the best of his modern era stuff, Supernatural is the one to get.



In any case, do yourself a favor and skip this weak compilation."
A Different Dimension of Santana

"Multi-Dimensional Warrior is an album misleading to Santana fans of whom think this album is a greatest hits collection. (Ultimate Santana is the place to go.) This album is here to guide Santana fans to a place forgotten. Most so called Santana fans know only of Santana's original 3 Albums & Supernatural Never realizing the balanced geometry of his overall palette. Multi-Dimensional Warrior covers the rest.



On disc one; Carlos reminds us of his spiritual side, the soulful side of Santana. Those looking for Santana's rock roots need to look elsewhere, this is Santana searching for his spiritual soulful side.



On disc two; look for Santana to jam, slow guitar based Jams which accentuate his strengths.



Again do not look for Santana's Greatest hits. This album consists of Santana's strengths, his ability to uplift. To inspire! so kick back and enjoy this music with a glass of your drink of choice"

"Great double cd...it's refeshing and chill. There are other discs you can get that are more jammy and rockin, but this rocks in it's own beautiful way. It's great Sunday afternoon music with the 1st disc having a vocal emphasia and 2nd having an instrumental emphasis all handpicked by the man himself. Well-done!
