5Nice Compilation of A Master's Work!  Mar 13, 2002 By deepbluereview "deepbluereview"
Hat's off to Sony for recognizing Santana's outstanding guitar playing ability and for taking the time to sift through a decades worth of music to isolate these instrumentals. Included on this CD is a tune from Santana's first release in 1969 "Soul Sacrifice", the incomparable "Blues for Salvador" from his 1987 release of the same name as well as "Europa" from the Amigos album. Overall, it's 71 minutes of great instrumentals that will save you countless hours of attempting to sort through this masters music just to isolate his instrumental works.

5Just the music  Jan 08, 2005 By R. J. Haynes "Santana Fan"
There are many great guitarists in the world but only Carlos Santana can move me like he does. Long ago I made my own version of this album on cassette because I wanted all these great instumentals on one tape. Finally it has been done and been done right. Europa is easily the best instrumental number ever and I would argue one of the best songs of all time. It is perfectly married with all the other great Santana numbers that were usually the best thing on their respective albums.

Put this on, turn the lights down low and lose yourself in the music.

5Santana's Best Instrumental's Volume 2  Mar 13, 2002 By deepbluereview "deepbluereview"
Two years after it's release of the "Best Instrumentals" Sony is back with another compilation which builds upon and compliments the first release. Again, Sony deserves a lot of credit for recognizing Santana's outstanding guitar playing ability and for taking the time to sift through a decades worth of music to isolate these instrumentals. On Volume 2, Sony collects 14 more instrumentals covering Santana's 30 plus year career. Included on this CD is the sonically beautiful "Revelations" through the precussion laced "Primera Invasion". Despite the title, Sony has included two tunes with spanish vocals, "Jingo" and "Oye Como Va". While these tunes are mainly instrumentals, I am positive that there are at least two other pieces which would have qualified this as an entire instrumental release similar to Volume 1. Overall, it's approximately 56 minutes of great instrumentals that will save you countless hours of attempting to sort through this masters music just to isolate his instrumental works.

3THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL NUMBERS ARE MISSING FROM THIS ALBUM  Dec 29, 2007 By Steve DeMellman
Going over the tune titles, right off the bat I was surprised that a couple of my instrumental favorites were missing .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. 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.

5It doesnt get any better.  Jul 02, 1999 By Martin Lemos
This is what Santana is all about. No vocals just his signature guitar sound. His music is perfect for almost any occasion, from easy-listening to dancing around. This are his greatest instrumentals ever. There are some that he has released since, that should be included, maybe on the next volume if there is one. Buy this if you can, I'm glad that I did. It is worth it
