Columbia raises the bar,
By "keonikrazey" (Heidelberg, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abraxas (Audio CD)
Columbia/Legacy has restored some of the best music in its catalogue, and this album gets a royal treatment. The three bonus tracks are from a live performance and give you a taste of the band's stage persona, but the sound quality is tweeked to perfection, if you have the old one, this is well worth the price. This album is essential to anyone concerned with an eclectic mix of rock. Blues influences are predominant, but the mix of jazz-fusion and Afro-latin rhythms make every track listenable and exciting. If your going to buy one Santana album, this is the one to start with, then go to his first and third albums. The rest will work out in time. A wonderful remastering to one of the greatest albums of all-time.

Abraxas-a word you'll want to know,
By K. MacAleese (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abraxas (Audio CD)
This album, along with the first and third Santana albums, is Carlos at his best. I consider this original line up of Santana's band to be the best. Songs like "Incident at Neshabur" and "Se A Cabo" burn with a firey Latin intensity. There is GREAT singing and Hammond organ playing from Gregg Rolie on just about every song. Another highlight is "Hope You're Feeling Better", a more "straight-ahead" rocker-less "Latin-sounding" than most Santana songs. Also, the live bonus tracks are a real treat. The remastered sound quality is PRISTINE on the studio tracks- a real treat to hear that great Santana percussion so crystal-clear. While you listen to this album, marvel over how each song has such a "live" feel to it, not the sterility of many studio albums. It almost sounds as if the band is plugged in and playing live at your house! I can't recommend this highly enough-as well as Santana I and III. Do yourself a favor and get them ALL!

A timeless Rock and Roll masterpiece!,
By
This review is from: Abraxas (DVD Audio)
Wow what an album! Recorded in 1970, it proves that great musicianship is timeless and always delightful to hear. Carlos Santana is one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th century and he shows his technique here especially in "Black Magic Woman". Gregg Rollie (sp) blends his vocal talent perfectly to the style of music that Santana was playing. This is a great CD to any Rock-N-Roll fan especially on the end of the CD when you hear "Black Magic Woman" recorded live. A must have!
