This review is from: Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Reality (Audio CD)

It's really the best of show. I prefer it over the other 2 SANTANA albums somewhat similar to this, Love Devotion Surrender and Illuminations. There's a purity and calm in this one that's difficult to find on any other album, even a SANTANA one. Somehow this album captures something that is beyond the usual Mexican/San Francisco/rock/Mexican music flavored music that SANTANA is famous for. Instead it is more a musical spiritual journey yet completely on the money, not, as I mentioned, sorta odd like the other two somewhat similar SANTANA albums.

This is more of a jazz/spiritual music/easy on the Eastern music/gentle SANTANA thing that totally works. [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars Close encounter of East and West - When music fascinates us., July 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Reality (Audio CD)

In this wild world of music, it's been each day more difficult to find one true work that comes from the heart - and not from the pocket $$$ !!! One of them is this Santana's Oneness Silver Dreams-Gold Reality.

If music can be the missed chain between East & West countries, the best sample this can be possible is this work where sensibility and sentiment were put togheter to conduct us to a perfect world of love, devotion and surrender.

Try it as I did !!!

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Reality (Audio CD)

The actual name of this release actually IS Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Reality. The previous reviewer has this incorrect. There is a track on the disc called Silver Dreams Golden Smiles, but that is not the name of the disc. I've got this on vinyl, and it is hypnotic. It falls into the category of the Illuminations disc, with Alice Coltrane. Alice is not on this particular disc, but the spirit is there. There are some great heavyweights on this, however. This is an essential for Carlos fans.
