    Carlos Santana is a massively underrated artist - who surrounded himself with the best of the best. His recordings in this period transcend what was possible from most playback devices at the time - which is even more of a testament to this commitment to quality. Take the record my Dad played on his shelf-top turntable, put it on a good system 40 years later, and it sounds like a different experience. What a master and one of the greatest of our lifetimes.

      If it's not a gift than it's a blessed , it's proven as a spiritual guitarist and remain consistent for his ion of latin easy blues jazz rock scene ; Devadip Carlos Santana evolve and shine all the way of his musical path .

      Moonflower is like a 'compilation' mix with live peformance and studio recording

      This double LP is great deal if you just a beginer to know Santana music although it's a must if you are into his music .

        Have no fucking clue why Santana gets such little respect in the vinyl community.... Just sayin... The man always employed the finest organ players and percussionists. The absolute FINEST. I've always believed that Carlos Santana himself may have been slightly over rated, but the more I listen, the more I realize how mistaken I have been.
