As well as its immense accessibility. Coming off a series of albums that heavily leaned into jazz fusion, the band returns to the more dynamic and concise approaches of its earlier works without losing the sense of adventurousness, craftsmanship, and virtuosity that turned it into a juggernaut embraced by both the mainstream and experimentally minded communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered at Mobile Fidelity's in-house studio in California, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmigos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epresents the 1976 album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic release.

This LP shines a beaming light on the surrounding musicians that simultaneously feed off and inspire their bandleader. The solidity and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; the grip and weight of the low-end frequencies; and, possibly the most enticing traits, the textures of the acoustic guitars, numerous percussive devices, and then-modern synthesizers: all come across with tremendous presence and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntirely appropriate for a set that kicks from the start, with the opening \"Dance Sister Dance (Baila Mi Hermana)\" true to the song title's combination directive-invitation meaning. Tropical, soulful, upbeat, and liberating, it beckons hips to shake and delicious libations to pour. Clinking cowbells, spirited background vocals, hand-tapped congas, and Carlos Santana's six-string magma pour forth with abundance. The song sets the mood and expectations for a record that contains not an ounce of filler, and which inspires and spreads joy at practically every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the gold-certified\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmigos\u003c\/em\u003e, the ensemble never seems to run short of zest or happiness. Key in on the Latin bite and searing guitar architecture of \"Take Me With You,\" an instrumental that shifts tempo at its midpoint and sparkles with a samba-like outro that aims to put everyone in earshot on the dance floor. Surrender to the slow-burn of \"Tell Me You Are Tired,\" sent up with Greg Walker's sympathetic vocals and spun around with whirling funk accents. Marvel at the Spanish guitar introduction, Mexican folk foundation, group vocals, and extroverted grooves of the forward-propulsive \"Gitano,\" with lead singing by conga\/bongo expert Armando Peraza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving reached the Top 10 in the United States and spawned the hit \"Let It Shine,\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmigos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emarked the final stint for bassist David Brown, the last of the group's famed Woodstock lineup to depart. His contributions feel especially spirited throughout the album, compass readings that the group uses to chart their course. Just listen to how his passages pop on \"Let Me\" and frame the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head \"what you need is what you want\" refrain. And while Carlos Santana remains the centerpiece of the brilliant and meditative \"Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile),\" Brown serves as a trustworthy anchor and friendly advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmigos\u003c\/em\u003e?
