Best compilation ever!
My favorite, arguably, is "Treat" with a great mixture of fast and slow tempos, piano and guitar, bongos and a salsa rhythm that will slap you in the face if your volume dial and speakers will allow it. This is Santana at his finest. Afterwards just explodes right into "Blues For Salvador" which is just icing on the cake. I wish they would've put a few more songs from the album Zebop onto this collection, namely "American Gypsy" which is another great song that doesn't get the attention it deserves as well as "Tales of Kilimanjaro". All I can say is WOW!.

This order I just payed with my credit card but I don't arrived at home.


Santana, Best Instrumentals
If you are a big Santana fan, this is one that you must add to your collection.


THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL NUMBERS ARE MISSING FROM THIS ALBUM
The beautifully soulful, atmospheric TALES of KILIMANJARO should definitely be on there as well as what I consider to be the most ambitious number from the fusion period, the epic FLAME/SKY. Going over the tune titles, right off the bat I was surprised that a couple of my instrumental favorites were missing . Fans who would purchase an all instrumental Santana album are astute listeners looking for the more obscure gems--who needs another best of album with all the obvious tunes? I give this cd three stars not for what it contains but for what it's missing.


Santana The Best Instrumentals
This CD has a number of Santana's classic hits like Samba Pa Ti, Flor de Luna, and Soul Sacrifice that I really enjoyed, however, in my opinion those are the only really good songs and this is a mediocre album.
