Love Devotion Surrender

1973 Meeting of Santana and John McLaughlin Yields Spiritual Transcendence: Love Devotion Surrender Is Inspired by John Coltrane and a Quest for Enlightenment Sourced from the Original Master Tapes for Audiophile Sound: Tones, Textures, and Notes Float Amid a Large, Open Soundstage on Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g LP Two guitar giants. A band of virtuosic instrumentalists. One shared goal. And one tremendous album. The only meeting of Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin on record, Love Devotion Surrender more than lives up to the promise offered by its principal creators. Based in divine faith, religious toleration, meditative intent, and the forward-thinking philosophy that music can take us closer to the truth, it is a spiritual journey. These enlightening concepts are reflected in the inspired playing of Santana and McLaughlin, who repeatedly hit a higher plane on this 1973 set. As do several Santana contemporaries - bassist Doug Rauch, drummers Mike Shrieve and Billy Cobham, percussionists Mingo Lewis and Armando Peraza, keyboardist Jan Hammer, and drummer Don Alias. All told, the collective feels unstoppable. Sourced from the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g LP of Love Devotion Surrender throws open the windows on the record's give-and-take passages, sustained notes, and varied textures. Laden with delicate acoustic touches and gentle piano passages, as well as powerful staccato bursts and fast-paced percussion, Love Devotion Surrender contains a dynamic mix of tempos, tones, and contrasts crucial to its optimal enjoyment. This collectible reissue brings those aspects to the fore with extraordinary realism. You'll sense a newfound freedom and naturalism, as well as an openness that allows the array of echoes, atmospherics, and neo-psychedelic shapes to properly hover and decay. Call it jamming guided by a higher power or surreal art brought together by time, circumstance, and purpose. There is no other album completely like Love Devotion Surrender.
