Summary: Beautiful music and visuals
Review: The other reviewer is wrong, wrong, wrong! See it yourself and let you be the judge. Santana's music is great no matter how you listen to it. The visuals are great. They are not meant to be for IMAX theaters, although I for one would love to see this video there.

Summary: Not what you'd call "Music Video" - it's way more than that!
Review: This is a serious piece of "Visual Music", a work of fine art by one of the true masters of the form. You could call this a "drug-free trip", but it's also an experience of cinematic genius you may never see anywhere else (outside of maybe Jordan Belsen, can you dig it?) David Fortney's footage is included as part of the Getty film library, and other top producers pay boucoup to use it. His unique techniques for motion-control, steadicam and optical special-effects are known as some of the best in the field. His other award-winning films include "EarthScapes" and "Timeless", an incredible time-lapse, slo-mo and aerial tour of our national parks. I've got the whole collection on VHS from years past, and am gathering the DVD's as well, now that Miramar is gone. Get 'em while you can! To those who might be disappointed with it, I can understand. This kind of "art video" can be an acquired taste. And it wasn't specially remastered for 5.1, so it won't gratify the gear-heads either. But for those of you who appreciate Carlos Santana's spiritual and visionary side, or (like me) don't self-medicate anymore (but still enjoy a good trip), I say, BUY IT NOW!

Summary: Turn down the lights, turn up the sound, fill up the bowl.
Review: Visually AND aurally stunning. One of the few "nature - computer graphic - stoner -whatever" videos that has music with any SOUL to it. If you can't feel the soul in Santana music, check your pulse. A nice range of Santana styles, from his light-jazz sound to his guitar roaring blues, this a DVD that I have taped so I can listen to it in the car. Visually, it's a nice blend of nature shots done in camera styles I had never really seen before mixed with captivating digital manipulation. There is one video with 'water' as the main theme that escapes description. Once you've seen it, you'll know exactly what I mean. While the individual videos are all unique and different in style and tone, the DVD has a sense of perfect flow and transition about it that many of the other "Dude, this beats the crap out of a Lava Lamp" video compliations are lacking. I highly recommend this DVD, and if you happen to be one who partakes in the herbal arts, my recommendation rises tenfold.
