Okay.....

First off, apologize for making a mistake. Silly me!

The song "Let the guitar play" is actually an up-tempo version of "Song for Cindy" from the "Blessings and miracles" album. This time just with added rap vocals. Generally I despice rap music, but stranger things have happened. Maybe I will warm to this tune eventually. Who knows?

Secondly, I have heard the tunes on the 1996 Paulo Rustichelli album and "Get on" and "Vers le soleil" are actually both better than I remembered them to be. Great Synthesizers in an Italian way reminiscent of the great Ennio Morricones´s works. The drums, however, are from a drum machine, which I absolutely hate and hate and hate.

But the "Full moon" version on Paolo´s "Mystic Jazz" is far better than the version on "Spirits dancing in the flesh". In the Italian version there is a long sublime solo by Carlos that is unjustifiably cut out from the "Spirits...." album.

But altogether, still rays of sunshine throughout the album, but "Rastafario" is still a crap song and ludicrous to include "I´ll be waiting" on this album. It is a very average song.

But here are two songs that I´m sure are unreleased. "Whatever happens" and "Coherence". I will look forward to listening to those two songs on YouTube once they get available.

The Santana version of Michael Jackson´s "Stranger in Moscow" I may have heard from one of the many bootlegs floating around YouTube. The version I heard was stunning and with Narada Michael Walden´s band it might be awesome!

So, yes, trying to find positives, and there might be a few. Judge by yourself.
