ILLUMINATIONS is a 1974 collaboration between Alice Coltrane and Carlos Santana (under their Indian names “Turiya” and “Devadip”, respectively). Alice Coltrane performs on harp, piano, and Wurlitzer electric organ and arranged and conducted the string section. Carlos Santana plays his electric guitar in a more minimal style than usual, utilizing feedback, sustain and simple melodic statements to create atmosphere and lend space to the other instruments. The album is all instrumental, with lengthy solos from most of the participants. The string section introduction to "Angel of Air” has been sampled by the Cinematic Orchestra. This is the first of three Santana albums (the others being Oneness and The Swing of Delight) to be released under his Sanskrit name Devadip, given to him by guru Sri Chinmoy.

There was a time when jazz and eastern mysticism was the direction that some late '60s guitarists aimed at. Interest in this came out of the over-excesses of the '60s with a need to make 'real' one's life. This music comes out of that time. It's very reminiscent of the Alice Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders, Joe Henderson jazz team. Which is not surprising because at the time Santana talked alot about John Coltrane. The 1st several cuts on this CD are fantastically mellow. Santana is always on fire as a musician, but here he reins it in so that the music veritably glows like molten lava.The last cut is quite long and here he it rips it up but in the style of Alice Coltrane, not Carlos Santana. This is Santana music unlike other Santana music you may know. It's a Santana between styles, searching out something new. It's more of an Alice Coltrane CD featuring Carlos Santana. As a matter of interest,for a while this CD was filed under Alice Coltrane's name in most music stores, rather than Santana's. Parts of this music are STUNNINGLY beautiful and others are an 'acquired' taste. But it's worth listening to.
