Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the July 2008 Issue of Stereophile!
TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the March 2008 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
Santana's Abraxas is now on Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.
One of rock’s true masterpieces, this stunning sophomore effort was released in September, 1970 to unanimous accolades and went to Number One on the Billboard Pop Album chart. Utilizing the studio more in overall production than on their debut (especially in mixing and using cross-fades) the band and producer Fred Catero (Janis Joplin, BS&T, Chicago) still maintained the street energy and ethnic roots, while elevating Carlos’ guitar passages to god-like status; resulting in the pinnacle of their album output. Wicked re-worked arrangements of songs as dichotomatic as the connecting of Peter Green’s Black Magic Woman with Gabor Szabo’s Gypsy Woman in medley, followed directly in sequence on side one with Tito Puente’s Oye Como Va (charting at #13), was both brilliant and on-par with anything going down in music at the time, period.
"Mobile Fidelity has done an excellent job with its remastered vinyl editions. Abraxas is a very fine-sounding record, with terrific air, rich textures, a fine mix, and spacious soundscape. MoFi's version is palpably warmer, airier, and more dynamic than (the) old Columbia pressing, which sounds a bit wiry." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, March 2008, Issue 180 |
