~~ While contemplating the works of her husband John, Alice Coltrane and Santana build sonic landscapes here from quiet and slowly forming to prog free-jazz styled musings. Maybe not for the uninitiated, but for the open minded fan this can be a rather enjoyable album. The themes of the music are brought forth for display on the covers.

This is beautiful album made in collaboration with Alice Coltrane and inspired by the then Carlos' spiritual association with Sri Chinmoy. Alice's orchestral string arrangements and harp add a romantic feel to this album, which can be described as a symphonic-jazz fusion. Upright bass, various percussion (but hardly any drums!) and occasional acoustic moments provide a pleasant and enjoying listen. Carlos' solo parts are excellent as always, but they are not excessive like on some SANTANA band rock albums. There are of course oriental spices in the music often similar to those LEB I SOL used on their phenomenal second album.

Illuminations is one of the best fusion albums I heard!
