I really like that opener as well, it's part of the whole flow of Caravanserai, an album that shouldn't be listened seperating tracks, IMO. Unlike Abraxas, which doesn't have a natural flow, typically of a rock album.
Plus, 'Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation' has a double bass, right? It sounds so cool, not something you're used to in a Santana album. (surely influenced by Garrisons' A Love Supreme bass lines)

of course i knew caravanserail was about to win but i wanted to get the light on borboletta , and i still think it could have been kind of fantastic double album, in a way

I like Borboletta but there are some low points...mostly in the typical "songs".
Thus, I vote for the clear winner of this poll.

^not sure if a masterpiece, but definitely an interesting album to check out. I still haven't give it enough spins, but it has some fine moments.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

This is the most difficult poll I have ever voted in on PA. I love both albums but the tipper for me is "Mirage" from Borboletta

That's hitting the nail dead on its head
Indeed, not only are there some "songs" that are sung (a tad too much for my liking), but I'm not that much a fan of Patillo's voice >>> well it's good enough, but compared to Gregg Rollie's on the early Santana, it pales...

let's just stay above the moral melee

I haven't listened to it recently, but i find it a little cold. and you have also the 72' "Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles Live" which is not bad with an excellent long piece if i remember well. |
