| | Santana Carnaval: Best Of CD Santana Discography of CDs
Santana is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos Santana's distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early '70s. The musical direction then changed to a more contemplative and jazzy style as the band's early personnel gradually departed, leaving the name in the hands of Carlos Santana, who guided the group to consistent commercial success over the next quarter-century. By the mid-'90s, Santana seemed spent as a commercial force on records, though the group continued to attract audiences for its concerts worldwide. But the band made a surprising and monumental comeback in 1999 with Supernatural, an album featuring many guest stars that became Santana's best-selling release and won a raft of Grammy Awards.

Purchase Carnaval: Best Of CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Miles Davis Aura CD (1989) Japan; Remastered
Carnaval: Best Of album
 $26.09
In 1984, as his covers of tunes such as "Time After Time" exposed him to a new generation of pop fans, Miles Davis participated in one of the most ambitious recordings of his career. Trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg created several themes related to the composer's perception of Miles' field of musical colors--his AURA, so to speak--and Miles performed it with a Danish studio orchestra in Copenhagen. Clearly influenced by Miles' collaborations with Gil Evans, AURA reflects the trumpeter's profound influence on European schools of jazz, and showcases some of Miles most searching, exploratory solos of the decade.
A huge orchestral chord and screaming electric guitar define the general tonality of "Intro," setting up a dancing exchange between Miles and guitarist John McLaughlin over a fragmented cycle of brass rhythmic accents. Miles trumpets "White" with a simple folkish theme, almost a shepherd's song, adding expressive echo effects as the tonality splits into component pigments, and a plaintive oboe floats above a dissonant wash of synthesizer and organ. Harp and oboe extend this theme in an almost serial manner on "Yellow," as electric guitar signals tense counterpoint between descending clarions of trumpets and dreamy bellows of low brass.
John McLaughlin's fleet fingered, bluesy lines signal the loping Milesian funk of "Orange," with its ding-dongy release and Miles' feathery fluttering mute ...
| | Santana Multi-Dimensional Warrior CDs (2007)
Carnaval: Best Of CD music
$15.95   
The depth of feeling inherent in Carlos Santana's guitar playing is nearly matched (but not quite) by the size and breadth of his discography: since the late 1960s the man has churned out a staggering amount of material, all of which features his unique hybrid sound that draws on rock, Latin, jazz, blues, and other forms of roots music. Given the dizzying plethora of options, newcomers might be at a loss about where to start exploring Santana's' music, which is why best-ofs like 2007's MULTIDIMENSIONAL WARRIOR are an excellent bet.
Spanning two discs and ranging across Santana's career, MULTIDIMENSIONAL WARRIOR features 28 tracks selected by the guitarist himself. Obvious candidates like "Oye Como Va" and "Black Magic Woman" have been passed by here (one can find them on any run-of-the-mill Santana anthology) in favor of tunes that showcase Santana's spiritual commitment ("Let There ...

| | Oneida Each One Teach One CDs (2002)
Carnaval: Best Of music CDs
$15.85 
The band's last album as a quartet, this sprawling double-disc set released in 2002 finds Oneida in classic form, and upping the ante on their already heady mix of minimalist psych and epic space rock. From word one, EACH ONE TEACH ONE sets off for the stratosphere, as the band pummels a single chord overlaid by a single word ("light") into ecstatic oblivion. It's difficult to imagine how a band can bounce back for the remaining 75 percent of an album after destroying listeners with an opener as intense as "Sheets of Easter" (which takes up all of side one on the ...
