Shape shifter

"Shape Shifter er noget nær en ren instrumental-cd, hvor fokus drejes væk fra meterpoppen og i stedet fokuserer på Santanas glimrende guitarspil. Det sker dels i fine akustiske forløb, søgende smukke numre og ballader med lyrisk/kærlig Moonflower-afsmag eller fede rockede orgiastiske forløb, hvor f.eks. Nomads direkte voldsomhed og guitar/keyboard-duel næsten blæser en om".

" Shape Shifter is far from perfect. Its lack of more compelling compositional ideas and some of its ham-fisted production problems are balanced by the fact that Santana is not coasting on his rep any longer; he's trying, and he's playing the hell out of the guitar again. While ambition and reality are very different things, any step away from the last decade's pop cynicism would be a drastic improvement -- and Shape Shifter is".
